    I have yet to try it but I will give it a whirl! I have tried and like rice milk. On my list to try are soy milk and also hemp milk, and now almond milk. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Now that you've tried the 60 cal version, the 35/40 cal version is very similar and in something like oatmeal you will not notice the difference at all. Not to mention, it will save you a few calories.

    I just bought unsweetened 45 cal Chocolate almond milk this morning. I can't wait to have a reason to try it.

    I live on almond milk. cow's milk not required any longer. Soy and hemp milk save your time and money. Almond milk is the way to go!!!

    This is my new discovery and I <3 it! I use the Blue Almond Diamond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Vanilla and it's only 40 cal a cup. You will not be disappointed if you give this a try.

    AWESOME! I don't often drink milk but when I want it, the 2% milk that I cook with is SO high in calories!! I am going to have to pick up some almond milk soon. Does it have the same shelf life as regular milk?

    whats its protein content? is it comparable to cows milk?

    I saw it in holland and barrett but it was really expensive. If its good though and is got a good protein content i might give it a whirl

    I just discovered this great stuff 6 mo ago. Love, love it. I don't like cow's milk. Tried the soy but didn't finish the carton. The Silk brand vanilla is my favorite! It's like a shake. When I want a desert I pour it over light ice cream. Where's this stuff been all my life?!

    just checked it on the database and it seems that for 240ml there is 60 calories and 1g of protein, whereas for skimmed cows milk for 240 ml, its 90 cals, but has 9g of protein.

    If youre dairy free, then soya milk might be a better option unless youve definitely got your protein covered elsewhere.
