Well, yeah. Almond milk takes overnight, right?
Milk is just right there.
Plus, if it gets cold. A cow is your friend!

Also, I'm pretty sure that every that is "fat free" has lots of added chemicals in order for it to be so (or so my 2 nutritionists say). There are good fats and not-so-good fats, just research them.
Almond milk:
INGREDIENTS: Almondmilk (Filtered Water, Almonds), Sea Salt, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Natural Flavor. VITAMINS & MINERALS: Calcium Carbonate, Vitamin E Acetate, Zinc Gluconate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Riboflavin (B2), Vitamin B12, Vitamin D2.
And most protein powders/shakes are made entirely of virgin's tears, nothing else. Some may also contain rage, but that's naturally fat free.
I really can't understand why some people take umbrage about what a complete stranger halfway around the globe puts in their coffee. If that is their biggest problem in this life, they are blessed and privileged.
I couldn't find a gif of John Cusak trying to tell Jack Black that it's not bullsh*t to state a preference, sadly. You would have thought most adults would have this concept down by now, but the wonderful MFP boards prove several times a day this is not the case.

I'd have to go find one- and I'm pretty sure there isn't a cow between me and the deli... which I walk less than 50 feet to get too.EvgeniZyntx wrote: »

I bought almond milk to use in some recipes that specifically called for it. I can't say I particularly like it. I was putting it in my milk for a little while but stopped because it was giving it a semi funky taste.
My husband thought it was great. Of course he also put a ton of chocolate sauce in it too.0 -
PM me your address, I'll pop one in the mail.

I've read you can make almond milk at home with a good blender, just almonds and filtered water, blend the bejesus out of it. Have not tried it, not really worth the effort/money.
I'm a little bit interested in homemade nut milks, whereas so far I dislike the store-bought kind (I don't drink that much milk, occasionally buy some whole milk, more commonly 2%, I really like milk, but just don't see a reason to drink calories and don't eat much that I would add it to now that I've started adding whey protein to oatmeal). I adore dairy, but mainly in other forms. (And for those who have issues, I am not troubled by it being for baby cows, sorry.) ;-)
The reason I haven't done the homemade almond milk is that almonds are kind of expensive and quite tasty so it seems like a waste of good almonds. I'd rather just eat them.I *have* tried putting plain water on my cereal, but it has that mineral/metallic taste of water then. The almond milk really works like milk in cereal. I use non-dairy powdered coffee creamer in my coffee. It's not that high in anything harmful.
Wow, I thought I already disliked cold cereal as much as possible, but imagining it with just water reaches a new level of disgusting.
Sorry, ignore my judgy opinions about completely subjective matters.

I switch between unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk and my new favorite is cashew milk. Skim milk is full of sugar and cows milk is made to fatten up baby cows.0

So? It's calories work the same as any other calorie. And fruit is also full of sugar....0 -

Also, according to some people, I should be 1,000lbs. I have a minimum of 4 cups a day, sometimes as much as 10 if maintaining and not cutting (lattes...). And yes, I still get my other nutrients (micro and macro) from other food in case anyone jumps on that.0 -

As long as you ship as fast as Amazon Prime- I can no longer tolerate that 7-10 buisness days any more.

Specifically, lactose, 5 grams per 100 grams of milk. Big whoop. Do you also avoid peaches?and cows milk is made to fatten up baby cows.
Do you imagine that the fact that baby cows drink cow milk means that the calories in it are super-calories and have an effect beyond what you might otherwise expect from their contents? How does this work precisely? I'm interested.

The almond milk doesn't have much of anything. Note how fat adds to the calories (not that there's anything wrong with that).
This is how I pick products in the store. I line up the nutrition labels and check the score I am worried about (it might be protein, fat, fiber, or sodium).0 -
Those baby cows (calves) are also gaining lean muscle mass and strong bones from mama's milk.0

I feel like I should drink milk so I can be a super cow- opposed to just a boring heifer like I am now.

The logic (or lack thereof) of using the 'it's intended to turn a calf into a 1,000lb cow' baffles me.
1) it does not have 'special' make you fatter than other 'calorie' calories
2) calves drink about 10 liters a day - of full fat milk - thats 42 cups - which is over 6,000 calories a day!!
3) calves also gain weight pretty early on, and maintain that weight, eating grass. Using the (non) logic - we should also avoid plat based foods! I mean, some of the biggest animals in the world eat solely, or primarily, a plant based diet!

logic is fun...if ALL animal proteins cause cancer and heart disease then it begs the question of why anyone with a plant based lifestyle would breast feed...0 -

this new 30cal silk almond milk SUCKS. it has an odd taste that isn't noticeable with the 40 cal that this replaced at my grocery. Do they still make 60 cal? I could cut it with water. This is depressing because I was really liking the taste of almond milk before they fiddled with it. I might have to try skim! gaaaa..Silk Unsweetened

I can't drink the unsweetened almond milk blaaah. I ended up throwing it away
