Almond Milk-who knew?!

Oh, its horrible! I was hoping to like it because it was 0 sugar but, it's not my thing. Definitely an aquired taste. I had the Silk unsweetened one and Blue Diamond Vanilla Unsweetened. Disliked both.

For a long time, I was drinking soy milk and had all sorts of issues. I found out that it was the soy was causing so many issues with anyone that has thyroid problems. (If you have hypothyroidism or any other thyroid problems, you should watch out on the soy you consume!) It was then that I found Almond Breeze a year ago, and I absolutely love it! But I went back to 1% milk so I could get more protein.

If you like almond milk, you should also try hemp milk! It's so good! It's a little pricey, but its full of Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids. Try it

To me, it tastes like butter pecan ice cream!

Exactly!! Never thought of that before, but it really does!

I love Almond Milk! 40 calories and healthy alternative to dairy!

I love Silk Almond I get the plain unsweetened but it has 60 calories. Yummy! The dark chocolate one is a nice treat sometimes.

I first got used to Silk Soy when my daughter had to have it because she is mildly lactose intolerant(same as me) I used to drink skim because I could handle it better most of my pregnancy I drank skim. Then she needed soy so I'd get whole for her dad and soy for us. I like only the plain flavored soy. I did not like the vanilla, very vanilla or chocolate. Strange I know. I was hesitant to try the Silk Almond Dark Chocolate because of that but I really liked it.

I had tried almond breeze when dd was trying out different brands and kinds and I didn't like it at all it felt chalky to me no matter how much I shook it. Silk is perfect to the last drop when I shake well before pouring.

I use "Silk Soy Milk-Almond flavor"...I've never tried the unsweetened but the regular(?) is only 60 calories per serving I believe...it's really good. My OB/GYN suggested it for pre-menopausal women because soy products boost estrogen levels and can ward off MILD hot flashes and other symptoms. Good stuff!! :drinker:

Silk has an actual almond milk(came out a couple years back) its not "flavored" almond that I know of its actually almonds.

I'd like to try coconut and hemp milk one time. I haven't got them yet though.

What about as a substitute for milk in coffee? I currently use skim milk and honey in my coffee, but maybe switching to the almond milk I could omit the honey?

Blue diamond unsweetened is my fav. tried it a year ago with my Body By Vi shakes and fell in love with it! i use it in my prot shakes too. add some ice, prot powder n milk.....oh what a great alternative to a great tasting milkshake! i switch between it and fat free milk......

I really like Silk's Coconut Milk. It's not obnoxiously coconut tasting, but it goes GREAT on cereal and it's a nice treat stirred with chocolate syrup. It also worked well in my coconut rice recipe. I haven't tried the vanilla version, but the plain coconut milk is good.

I bought some today. I didn't even know it existed. I think I prefer regular milk, but I think I can drink it just to cut all of those calories out. I will try it in my oatmeal tomorrow morning.
