Fat Free Milk vs Almond Milk
Replies

Neither. I like 2% or whole milk. Raw for the rare treat (surprisingly in Wisconsin--the "ancestral" homeland of dairy cows, lol--raw is illegal to buy and sell--need to know someone who owns good cows ).0

Ever since I learned that I was lactose-intolerant I can't stand the sight of cow's milk. I prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk over any other non-dairy.0

Haha! Looks like I am about the only one in this thread that loves cow milk. I would drink it by the gallon if I could. Must be something wrong with me...0

dairy is one of my downfalls. i love milk, cheese, etc. i also really like almond milk. so i switch off from time to time. i also find using almond milk helps me kickstart when i plateau, probably for the obvious reasons versus milk. i drink it by the glassful, or on oatmeal (just had it for breakfast!). i don't cook with it. i prefer the unsweetened, original/unflavored varieties, blue diamond or 365, doesn't much matter. when i drink milk, it's usually a high-quality organic, fat-free type, such as from stoneyfield. i don't go organic in everything, but milk is one item well worth the switch. sometimes i use rice milk, but usually find it too sweet even in the unsweetened versions. hope this helps.0

I go between skim and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I really can't tell a difference to be honest. If I am using it in cereal or a drink mix, I can tell no difference. Almond milk on its own has just a light sweet taste to it. Nothing major.however, if you plan on drinking it on its own, I suggest getting regular vanilla almond milk, not unsweetened, because unsweetened almond milk can have a little weird flavor to it. But is isn't noticeable in cereal or mixed with something.0

Go to self.com. Just yesterday they posted an article comparing several milks: soy, oat, coconut, almond, etc. I found it very helpful because they listed the fat, protein, sugar #'s, etc. and gave pros and cons to each. You may find another type of milk that suits you better.0 -
Almond milk has a lot less protein.0

I mainly drink almond milk. It's been great for my household. Half of us are lactose intolerant and I personally like the taste more than regular milk.0

I don't use any dairy products. Almond milk is great! My favorite is the unsweetened almond coconut blend. So good! Dairy milk is made for baby cows to grow huge, not for humans.0
