    I use it in my cereal and in recipes because it has a creamer texture than skim milk. I like the little sweetness in the unsweetened vanilla. Having said that, I can't drink it straight. If I want a glass of milk, then I stick to 2%. That is rare, but sometimes it is just want I want. I have always been a big milk drinker, so I figure if I can cut all that fat and calories in my cereal then I can splurge on a cold glass sometimes.

    I just started using Almond Milk, like two weeks ago! I love it for cooking! It cuts the calories from using skim milk by more than half (I use Almond Breeze unsweetend vanilla) I haven't just poured a glass and drank it though! But I didn't do that very often with skim milk either!

    I bought it for my coffee because it was recommended on here. I use the unsweetened vanilla in my coffee with a little sweet n low. I love it! Not quite as good as my coffeemate vanilla creamer, but a very close 2nd for hardly any calories!

    I really like skim milk to drink, but I use almond milk in smoothies purely because it's tasty and lower in cals. Almond Breeze unsweetened is 40 cals a cup and Silk Almond unsweetened (which I think tastes better) is only 35 cals a cup.

    I'm not positive about the difference in health factors between almond milk & cow's milk but i do know that .. almond milk is GREAT in oatmeal. It makes the oatmeal expand into a more filling meal, without the excess calories. I was hesitant at first but now I love it!

    Here's a recipe I use, if interested:

    1/2 cup Old Fashion Oats
    1 Cup water
    1 Cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
    Dash of salt
    Dash of Cinnamon
    1 packet of zero-cal splenda
    (add in last minute of cooking) 1/3 cup of fiber one cereal
    -- Bring oats, water & milk to boil for 10 minutes, add salt, cinnamon & sugar. In last 1-2 mins add fiber one cereal.

    Enjoy!

    I switched one day after I noticed that I was feeling ill after every time I drank my skim milk. I use Silk Original Almond Milk in everything from cereal to Mac N' Cheese. Yum!

    I don't believe we should drink milk on a regular basis as humans, but growing up with it, it's a hard habit to break, almond milk is a great alternative.

    I tried the unsweetened kind & didn't really like it. I researched it & didn't like all of the chemicals & such. I've switched to fat free organic milk instead.

    I wanted to drink the unsweetened almond milk due to the lower carbs, but I just couldn't do it based on the taste & my research. I understand that it's a matter of personal preference too though....

    I have never been abl to drink milk except when in cereal so I thought I would try the Almond Milk. So I tried the
    Almond milk with my cereal this am and it is way to thick for cereal in my opinion. :( I guess I can use it in my
    smoothies and as a creamer instead and it lasts longer then milk.

    Some brands are better than others. I tried Silk and nearly gagged. You can also make your own very easily with just water and almonds.
