    I swear by Alpro Coconut milk, it tastes so nice and find it compliments most cereals really well. .. it's not too watery and good on the calorie front :)

    I second goat milk - it is naturally lactose free and has a pleasant, sweet taste. A bit pricier than cow milk.

    My family and I have used rice milk for years. It's got the same consistency as fat-free milk with no flavor and no milky after tastes.

    Lactose-free milk is pretty darn similar to regular milk (I drank Lactaid for years). I'm working towards giving up dairy and finally tried cashew milk- pretty good with cereal and in coffee! I don't drink milk anymore, but just can't give up my "lattes" in the morning and cashew milk froths up nice too :)

    Lactose free milk for us - can't tell the difference.

    Actually...if its because of lactose i highly highly recommend fairlife(their 2% is heaven to me). It is cows milk, but ultra filtered so there is no lactose. Also the macros on it is even better than regular milk :)

    p.s. in my opinion though, the chocolate milk is too much for me, since fairlife has a creamier taste than regular milk- and then the sweetness of chocolate is too much. but who knows maybe you'd like it

    I actually mix the chocolate with skim - it's perfect.

    Nutritionally, only soy milk is a good substitute for cows milk. If you're just looking for something to make your cereal wet, and not really concerned about the nutrition factor, then it's going to be really subjective. I started out liking unsweetened plain almond milk best for cereal, now I use unsweetened plain soy for most things. Coconut milk (not the kind in the can) is nice and creamy, but higher in saturated fat, if you care about that.

    another endorsement of Fairlife here. I'm not even lactose intolerant, and I swear by the stuff. Lower calories, more protein, tastes better, and has an insane shelf life.

    Another vote for unsweetened vanilla almond milk for my cereal. I used to drink soy but now try to minimize how much soy I take in. The only time I drink chocolate milk is after a workout as a recovery drink and for that I like the Fairlife. It doesn't bother me how sweet it is.

    There is a brand called Yup! that is lactose free and the chocolate is to die for. They also have white and strawberry varieties.

    I like Silk unsweetened cashew milk, but it has a lot of added calcium. Regarding taste, my second choice is So Delicious brand unsweetened cashew milk. It's higher in calories, but doesn't contain so much calcium. It's found in the little quart boxes that are shelf stable.

    I mix a full cup of heated cashew milk with 1 cup coffee.

    Depends what you want to use it for. I really like unsweetened roasted almond milk for cereal and coffee but I wouldn't use it for cooking or tea.

    Rice milk has more of a mild flavor then the 'nut' milks.

    I'm not a huge milk drinker, but I prefer almond milk or rice milk in my cereal. Unflavored/unsweetened soy milk tastes a little 'off' to me, but it's o.k. if I'm having it in something like a chai latte.

    My favorite substitute is unsweetened cashew which has a very mild flavor and lowest in calories, 25 per serving. I also use it to cook, Almond is good too.

    Cashew milk!! It's so good and creamy. I haven't had cow milk in probably 12 years so I can't really speak to how it tastes in comparison but I LOVE cashew milk

    If you want it for cereal, consider "protein milk" (aka protein shake used as milk)...

    I usually avoid cereal as it is higher carb and doesn't fill me up much... Using protein milk helps!
