I use semi-skimmed milk; tea, coffee, 1/2 with water in porridge etc., I'm thinking trying almond milk, research is mixed, it seems healthy but is lower in protein.
do you use it?
do you use it?

No I dont.
I use low fat skim milk.
But if you want to, then try it - If you like it and/or it has other features which appeal to you, that's great.0 -
I use it and love it - never really looked at the back of it for protein level though. I just love the taste of vanilla almond milk and use it to make my overnight oats, for baking, mix with my shakes (rarely)0

I use it for my smoothies, overnight oatmeal, etc. I've never liked "real" milk and I like the taste of almond milk. I get plenty of protein elsewhere in my diet, so I'm not concerned about that0
-
I buy it once every 6 months if I want to make some smoothies or protein shakes. Otherwise, I stick to milk, because I can't stand the taste of almond milk with coffee or cereal.0
-
its fine for reducing calories when mixing my protein shakes.
not good in coffee tho.
cost wise,its 3x more expensive than semi- skim/ 1% fat milk here in the uk,which is the major downside.0 -
I like it, but I like real milk as well.0

Yes. I use it in everything now. 30 calories and so worth it!0

I use Kirkland vanilla soy milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I love it. The only time it's tricky is with hot, acidic coffee. Then it sometimes gets chunky.0

This, although I did use to like "real" milk...I just find myself not wanting to drink it anymore...have gone through this before. My hubby loves almond milk now, too, for mixing his smoothies. I like it for smoothies, overnight oats, with cereal. We usually buy unsweetened, plain or vanilla. Sometimes chocolate, for a relatively low-cal chocolate indulgence. Yum.

I have never liked the taste of animal milk. So I drink the milk alternatives. They taste so much better0

I've never been a huge milk fan, but like almond milk (vanilla unsweetened) mixed with vanilla protein powder. I also use it in cereal. I always try to have some regular milk (1% or 2%) on hand - haven't really liked almond milk in cooking applications)0

Hubby drinks it but I prefer coconut milk. The Silk brand claims to have 50% more calcium than cow's milk.0

I use Silk Almond milk all the time, until recently when they started making Cashew milk, which i enjoy a lot more due to it being creamier.

My wife uses it because she doesn't process milk very well. I love the fact that it keeps on the shelf for a very long time, I don't like how it has no protein. Personally, I rather have the extra 50-70 calories and have real milk.0

I make my own almond milk. The store bought ones are ok, but homemade tastes way better in my opinion. As far as a "healthier" alternative to cow's milk - I have a cow's dairy allergy, so for me, the alternative is necessary. But I don't know if it's necessarily healthier if you can tolerate dairy.0
