Errr....what bigger issues?
Also, I would ask exactly what chemicals are added to make it fat free...of your 2 nutritionists.
What are good fats and not so good fats (other than artificial trans fats)?.0 -

I hope its not whey protein....0 -
For me, Almond milk's taste and texture is not appealing. I use cow's milk - it varies as to whether its skim or 2% or whole, depending on what I am having it with and/or my macros.1

I am not a huge fan of almond milk but I want to try it in my protein shakes for something different other than water.0

One for the good fats, and one for the bad.
I often have a couple servings of dairy a day and it sometimes helps me meet my protein goal, so I'm curious what my bigger issues are.0 -

Have you considered coffee? I like a good protein coffee after a morning workout, personally (with about half a cup of moocow milk)0 -

I can't even.
Do you eat yogurt?
Chalk full of bacteria?
Touch railings anywhere out side your home? Chalk full of all sorts of bodily fluids-
You're phone- that you put up close and personal to your face? dirtier than a toilet seat!
Milk is fine- it's almost a complete food coupled with cereal. Delicious.lvillani81 wrote: »I honestly don't understand how milk doesn't gross human beings out.

Um, no. I don't eat yogurt, or cheese or anything else from milk. Yeah I put my dirty phone on my face, but I don't ingest my phone. I dare you to just lick you phone. You won't do, and neither would I. Milk is not fine.
I lick my phone all the time- mostly because I cook with it near by- and stuff splashes all the time on it-... LICKS.
still not dead- unfortunately I can't take a picture to prove it- because- well it's my phone.
wait- I have a plan- I think. hold on. harder than I thought- but I got it.
and yes- milk is totally fine.
can and have- and would do so again.Would you suck the milk out of a cows "Teat"?
goat too.
well maybe not like lips on titty- only because I don't like the texture- but I've taking a milk shot straight out of an udder yes. delicious. you are way to uptight.0 -

And then once they are done drinking milk, they go strictly vegan/vegetarian to finish out that 1,000 lbs. That's why I avoid vegetarian diets. I would hate to turn into a 1,000 lb heifer.
Quite. That's why I even cook my veg in bacon fat. Straight veggies are for cows.
also- love you so much for this. because me too.
also my popcorn.0 -
skim milk tastes like barely flavored water.
If I'm drinking cow milk- I'm drinking 2% or higher.

Being said- I use/drink unsweetened vanilla almond milk... it has fewer calories and actually tastes like something. Also. Being said- I don't drink it straight- I drink it w/ protein or add it to shakes- or make hot chocolate.
mmmhmmm hot chocolate. That sounds good right now.
^this^ plus I like the kind that has added calcium.0 -
I drink almond milk, my boyfriend drinks 2% milk. I drink his sometimes when I run out of mine, but it lacks the body I like. I buy the generic UNSWEETENED plain almond milk usually. Sometimes I "splurge" on the full calorie (60 per serving) Silk brand almond milk. Silk adds gums into theirs, which makes it feel super rich in your mouth. 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. Almonds are pricey, almond milk isn't. 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.0
