Vanilla almond milk

I use almond milk in my lattes, protein shakes and pretty much wherever I would use milk. I don't like skim milk, so it's great to cut calories in my latte. I prefer regular milk on cereal, though. Just isn't the same with almond milk. Though I LOVE everything with Silk coconut milk, but can never find the unsweetened one here.

I cannot give up cream in my coffee either. I have tried and tried over the years and I just cannot get to the point where I enjoy black coffee. More importantly for me, black coffee gives me heartburn and stained my teeth a lot. These two things were really what helped me to finally decide to just stay with the half & half. In reality, 1 TBSP of half & half is only 20 calories - so it really isn't a lot of calories that we are talking about here. I have 2 TBSNs of it in my coffee (40 calories) and I am satisfied with it.

BTW, I did try the fat-free half & half and I don't like it. To me, it has a bit of a sweet taste (I don't like anything sweet in my coffee) and it really does not satisfy my desire for that little bit of cream in my coffee.

I have ultimately made a trade-off in that I can have a few less calories for food per day and still be able to have my half & half in my coffee. I think we have to make choices on what we will give up and what we won't give up. For me, I won't give up the half & half.

I bake with it, use it in coffee, use it in my shakes, etc...

Certain things I still use cow milk for, such as pasta dishes and certain baking items. But I use probably 90% almond milk in everyday life now.

I use it in my protein shakes mainly, but honestly haven't bought cow milk in months, if I can't make it with egg whites or almond milk, I guess I don't need to make it lol.

Makes the best oatmeal

It does!
I also use it as a glass of milk, on cereal, in baking, cocoa & ovaltine. I'm in the minority here about using it in coffee, though. I prefer milk in my coffee.

great on cereal,oats,baked oatmeal & milkshakes.

You can substitute almond milk for anything you use cow's milk with, though the nutty flavour of the original can sometimes alter the flavour if used in cooking. I prefer unsweetened vanilla for smoothies as the flavour is lighter than original unsweetened and goes well with all fruits (especially orange, where I often add a little vanilla extract to the mix as well to make it taste like a Creamsicle). I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk for iced coffee, but it tastes off in hot coffee to me, so I use unsweetened original almond milk instead, which gives it that nice creamy, nutty flavour. I usually drink black coffee and don't like flavoured coffees/lattes so that may be why I personally don't like the vanilla taste in my coffee. I'm lactose-intolerant and prefer almond to soy milk any day of the week.
