What's the best milk?

beckyloewer

So I've been drinking carbmaster milk which only has 60 calories. It has 11g of protien only 3 sugars and like 3 carbs... But my friend drinks unsweetened almond milk with only 30 calories. It only has 1g of protein though? 1g of sugar and I think 0 calories.. It sounds better but didn't know if maybe I needed those extra proteins since I'm working out?? Help?

The best milk is the one you like the best, that fits your goals the best, that fits your budget the best.

Low calorie doesn't make a food better than another.

Drink the milk that tastes best to you and fits your macros. Personally, I drink raw milk and use unsweetened almond milk in smoothies. Occasionally, I'll buy a carton of goat milk to make ice cream.

It's not about finding the ideal food but about combining all foods to achieve your goals.

Milk is great paired say, with a peanut butter sandwich.

I like the Fairlife Ultra filtered milk. It's cold filtered instead of being pasteurized & has half the carbs of regular milk. It has a lot higher protein count(13g) than normal milk, soy or almond milk & it's lactose free for those that are affected by that. I really love milk & had given it up after going keto until I found this.
It's about $4 for a 1.5L bottle & you have to consume it within 14 days once it's open which are the only downside. LOL, it kinda sounds like a sales pitch, but I'm just happy I can have a glass of real milk again without blowing 1/3 of my carb count for the day.

Whatever FF is on sale for the size I want.

I don't like cow milk. I can deal with cream or half and half with coffee. If I want "milk" I usually go for Silk organic unsweetened soy.

I like raw milk from pastured cows on a local organic farm. As a compromise, I'll buy raw milk at the grocery store or farmer's market. I also like homemade almond or coconut milk, but they're more like a dessert beverage than actual milk.

When I think of milk ... it's from a cow, or possibley a goat or a sheep. I prefer unhomogenized whole milk but settle for homogenized 2% most of the time.

Drink the 1% Great Value from Wal-Mart. It's $.80 a gallon in my community. Hard to find a cheaper source of protein.

I agree that all of the "milk-like beverages" should be required to call themselves something else. They are not milk and they do not have anything like the nutrition profile of milk, for better or worse. That is not a value judgement, I just don't like for people to be misled.

Now, what to call "soy milk..." Soy Smilk, perhaps?

I used to like Gustafson Dairy, but they were purchased by a larger dairy operation.

+1 for Fairlife milk. I'm not keto so don't care about the carbs and not lactose intolerant so don't care about the lactose free, but it's higher in protein than regular milk. I drink their skim and use their whole milk as creamer for my coffee.

I picked up something new yesterday - Silk almond-coconut blend. It's delicious, low-carb (for those who care about such things) and only 35 calories per cup. Just be aware that these non-dairy substitutes contain almost no protein, which is the only major drawback as far as I'm concerned. But it's helpful for those who are interested in moving to a more plant-based diet (and I've been considering veganism for some time now).

I only drink cow milk, mostly because of the protein and taste. The kind I'm drinking varies with my goals... bulking? 2%, cutting? skim

pomegranatecloud

I like almond and soy, but I rarely drink a glass of either. I've always hated cow milk.

I drink almond milk mostly and occasionally coconut milk. I'm dairy intolerant so can't have regular cows milk.

SteveVx

Fairlife for the W!

cangler

i typically stick with almond milk, low cal and taste good!

Gallowmere1984

Sheep milk, imo. However, it's hard AF to find, so goat milk is my second choice. It just sucks that it's so expensive.

faysalubit

Cow milk with 1 tbsp sugar every day .. I know it's a lot of calories n fat but i still manage to keep my calories intake under my calories goal so it's not a problem for me

MelissaPhippsFeagins

The best milk is fresh, raw milk. Second best is fresh slow pasteurized. Third best is fresh butter milk.
(maybe my grandparents cows spoiled me for life, but I worked for it)

What I buy is generic whole milk at whichever grocery store I am shopping in.

dewd2

The best is chocolate milk.

bcgymbeast99

I drink 1% Milk

cmtigger

For me it's cows milk. I have some medical needs that make nut and soy milks inappropriate, and coconut milk doesn't have as much calcium as I need because of the same medical issue. Goat or sheep's milk would work for me too, but are more expensive and harder to find.

What does your body need?

I drink 2% milk
