fat free is what i drink

Almond milk is one of the best but the taste can throw you if you're just getting used to it. I alternate between skim milk and almond milk depending on my mood.

I love the unsweetened Almond milk....it's pretty rich though but I like that.

I drink 1%, as it has less cals than 2%, and I like to eat, not drink the majority of my caloires. But if what you are considering fits with your macro goals, then you can make any of them part of a healthy diet.

how would you describe the taste like if you had a bowl of cereal with it or something does it affect the taste of the cereal?

All up to you and what sort of nutrients you need. I don't need fat from milk, I get it other places. I can't handle cow milk very well, so I drink almond milk. Lots of choices out there.

almond milk is my favorite for taste, but I don't drink it too ofter as there is no, or very little, protein whereas milk has 8-9 grams per cup.

it is a little sweeter and nuttier, but tastes great on cereal and you may not need to add any or as much sugar, if you put sugar on your cereal.

I myself use almond milk even to cook with. I have a pretty high protein diet from other sources, so almond is the best choice for me because there is LOADS of calcium which is super important for women and the calories are just right. I buy the plain unsweetened kinds for every day use, but occasionally get vanilla or chocolate as a treat and it doesn't ruin my day.

I just can't compare almond milk to cow milk....(and dont even consider soy milk to exist)

Of the cows milk...I'd say whole....low fat dairy isn't better. But i'm not a milk drinker, the children are.

Now almond milk is just delicious....and I dont see it used the same as regular milk.

My daughter loves almond milk - she is 4 and I just recently started buying it. My son (12) tasted it and said it was too thick and creamy, and he doesn't like it. I actually haven't tried it. I have had coconut milk though It isn't the best for taste, but it's very filling.

this one http://becomeacouponqueen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lactaid.jpg as well as almond and soy.

2% or skim is fine for me if I use it to cook or eat cereal. If I am drinking milk, I have to have whole. It does have more calories and fat, but I plan for it and factor it in for the day.

We don't buy cow's milk anymore. My boyfriend and I drink unsweetened plain almond milk with everything from coffee to cooking. Gives a nice flavor to food in cooking as well and is nutty and delicious with granola or cereal. And at 35 calories a cup? Can't beat it.

natachan

I drink skim milk because I don't like the texture of whole milk. I'm not afraid of the fat from whole milk, it's just kinda an icky texture.

Also my husband has Chrone's disease, so he's been advised against soy milk and other soy products.

chanstriste13

anything but skim....bleh! it looks like blue water...

prefer whole, but i use 1%...

I drink Grass Point's 2% reduced fat milk, about a cup a day. I think the fat in milk is great for you, if the cows were grass fed. I'd drink the whole if I could find it.

ShrinkinMel

I haven't drank cow's milk since high school. Even then I'd water it down if it wasn't skim or 1% otherwise I'd have a tummy ache. Right now I'm loving Silk almond milk occasionally I treat myself to the dark chocolate. I don't remember to drink it often because I try not to drink calories, too easy to consume a lot quick.

I got used to soy milk when my daughter inherited my lactose issues but now I'm not that used to it. I used some on my cereal a couple weeks ago and couldn't finish it all the taste was off. I'm so used to my almond milk now.

I tortue myself more often than needed by having ice cream. LOL On the occasion I eat more than a ounce of cheese I'll pay too. LOL I really need to start a cal/mag supplement.

I personally do soy.. but thats because if I have too much diary I get bloated and sick.

It's really up to you and what you prefer..

There's actually more calcium in cow's milk than there is in almond milk.

I agree with what a number of people have said already- Almond milk is awesome.

Soy milk is not good if you have a thyroid disorder (amongst other things).

I personally find that the lower the fat in cow's milk, the better. I rotate between Almond milk and cow's milk as I prefer cow's milk in my tea. I hope my taste will change though so I can drink Almond milk all the time :-)

I only like skim. The thickness of fattier milk is gross to me. I really don't like the taste of whole my kids drink it though.

skinnybearlyndsay

I used to love 2%, but then found that 1% was good. Skim milk just tasted like water to me. Lately, though, I've had to switch to lactose-free milk (instead of deal with the painful cramping). The kind we usually get (Horizon) only comes is 2% lactose-free. But if I get Lactaid I get the 1%.

neanderthin

I drink goat milk mostly and I'll generally get the 2%. Otherwise most my milk consumption is in the form of yogurt and cheese with a little sheep thrown in.

Your skimmed milk looks like this? I'd take it back if i were you.

Mine looks like this



I simply have it in my tea as it's less calories, and the taste is pretty much the same in tea.
