    I usually get Original Silk Almond Milk. I don't like chocolate or vanilla because I don't like to alter the flavor of whatever I'm making with it. I don't want vanilla mac and cheese, ya know?
    It's just the closest to cow's milk, so I prefer that.

    I'm a heathen and prefer the sweetened vanilla. I tried to like unsweetened, plain or vanilla, but I couldn't do it. Just didn't taste good to me.

    outside of lacto intolerance reasons (which I get) or possibly a vegan (I get that too) why do y'all like almond milk? Not trying to start a debate just trying to understand rationale for why you use it?

    Unsweetened vanilla, i cant handle plain Almond. I only use Almond milk mixed with regular milk, i cant drink any variety straight :confounded:

    Do you not like the way it tastes? It just tastes like water to me. The only reason I use it instead of water is that it does at least give some texture to a shake.

    I don't like the way it tastes. It's like water with a slight taste of something lol I only use it to cut down on calories and to reduce my cows milk consumption (i drink a lot), as it messes with my skin if i drink too much. I just make a mix of 200ml normal milk and 350ml vanilla almond milk every morning and use that in my cuppas throughout the day, it took me ages to get used to it though.

    wow what a great idea. I would probably drink/cook with a gallon of milk a day but ugh on the calories and messes with my skin too. for sure doing this thanks!
