Almomd Milk vs. Regular Milk vs. Soy Milk

CoderGal

As I don't want to be someone who drinks another species milk (and we are the only ones who do), I find almond milk the best, certainly tasty and low fat.

lololol









I also don't think almonds or soy are your species either.

Only on my mother's side. My father was a legume.

I use both regular milk and almond milk in my cereal (combined). One thing I like about almond milk is that it is a decent source of potassium, which is a number I struggle to hit.

I've never been a big milk drinker. Dairy milk is higher in protein, but it's also higher in calories. I've used soy milk before, but I wasn't thrilled with the texture or flavor of it. I also use a lot of other soy products, primarily tofu, so I didn't want to overdo it. I switched to almond milk, and it's by far my favorite of the three. It tastes great on its own without being heavy, and it blends really well with my protein powders, which is really the only thing I use milk for anyway. I actually prefer the flavor of it over dairy milk. It doesn't offer much in the way of protein, but there are lots of other ways to get protein.

Hi! If it comes down to REGULAR full fat milk vs almond/soy then go with almond or soy. but, you should honestly drink skim milk for the most perks. Yes almond/soy milk are fortified with nutrients but what people fail to realize is that the way vitamin absorption occurs is that many vitamins counteract the other. This being said, often times when almond/soy milk are fortified with a multitude of vitamins, your body will absorb less than 3%. Its better to get your vitamins from an array of natural food sources and to drink skim milk because its natural and not processed.

I don't drink any form of milk-

cow's milk grosses me out and I don't like the taste
almond milk is too expensive
soy milk-I don't do soy anything

So, good old water for me :drinker:

Almond milk doesn't make me clear a room after I have a glass. So there's that.

Baby cows drink cow milk.
Baby zebras drink zebra milk.
Baby humans drink human milk.

So why do adult humans drink cow milk?

I have tried all 3 at some point or another. I became lactose intolerant at around 18, so I went from regular to soy. Then I started hearing about all these studies about how bad soy is for female hormones/ cancers, and I really hated how sweet most of the soy milks are (even the unsweented ones are pretty sweet). Because of that I switched to almond. I LOVE almond milk, but my husband doesn't like the taste, so when we moved in together I switched to lactose free dairy milk. A lot of people who feel bloated a lot or get mild flu's a lot are mildly lactose intolerant, so if you are asking the question because of how milk makes you feel, then I recommend almond milk. Personally I like the 40 calorie ones because it doesn't taste as thick or as "nutty".

I don't drink milk, I just use it for cereal. I usually get soy milk, but I'll get almond or regular if I need it for a recipe and then use what's left over for my cereal. Soy tastes the best to me, maybe just because that's what I'm used to.

If I did that it would be hello good ol osteoporosis for me :sick: I don't understand where people get so much calcium from even with milk I don't seem to get enough.

I use Soya Milk, Rice Milk and very occassionally Almond Milk. I can only use a small amount of 1% regular milk with coffee (I have an dairy/wheat intolerance)

I love almond milk in my smoothies or on cereal but to drink outright I prefer good ol' skim milk.

michellechawner

Almond milk for sure - although I will have regular milk too -

Soy is crap - I never liked the flavor

Coconut milk is amazing but high in fat (granted, it's good fat).

Protein isn't a concern for me when I choose unsweetened almond milk. I make up for it in the other foods I consume, or things I make with almond milk such as protein shakes. I prefer the taste of unsweetened almond milk to any other alternative milk, hands down.

Baby cows drink cow milk.
Baby zebras drink zebra milk.
Baby humans drink human milk.

So why do adult humans drink cow milk?

Because it tastes awesome!? What other reason do you need?
