    i didnt like it, its too creamy and it has a weird color and that freaks me out... the taste was bearable though

    I use the Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk. I do not like the taste of it by itself but use it in my protein shakes.

    I prefer the blue diamond variety but unsweetened almond milk is awesome. Put it in shakes, drink it straight, cook with it..it's versatile.
  • Same here...i use it for my protein shake, its pretty bland without it actually. It makes my protein shake taste better than using just water, and it saves on calories. Im lactose intolerant so its a great subsitute for milk in my case too. Try it out :)
  • I recently switch to this product. The taste is good. I no longer need to add sweeteners to my oatmeal in the mornings. Just a few raisins. I use the vanilla flavor.

    I tried the Blue Diamond vanilla almond milk in my coffee to save calories over 1% cow's milk, but I wasn't a fan. Since then I've been using Silk original-flavor light soy milk in my coffee, and I definitely that.

    I like the Silk unsweetened if I'm adding it to stuff, like to make scrambled eggs. But as for drinking it alone, I find the taste kind of boring.

    For drinking, I prefer Almond Breeze. Their unsweetened vanilla is 40 calories per cup, unsweetened chocolate is 45 calories per cup. So far I have only been able to find the unsweetened chocolate in the vacuum packs that are not refrigerated. But I don't mind, because the shelf life is really good on them and I can stock up.

    I was always a milk lover, and drank skim. Now I can go back to my milk loving roots, and drink a 16 ounce glass and never feel guilty about the calories!
  • I use it to make my oatmeal instead of water, really sweet and good tasting.

    This! :)
    I use in my husband's protein shakes and the kid's cereal, cream of wheat and oatmeal; they can't taste the difference & I don't tell them I use it! LOL

    My opinion:

    Almond is lower calories but no good for coffee or straight. Good for cereals and other add-ins.
  • personally I LOVEEE it! I use 1 cup with my whey proteins and it tastes like a shake. I also put about 1 tsp or so in my coffee and I can taste the hint of almond. MMMMM>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Ohhhh...I'll have to try this!

    I love vanilla almond milk. Can't have to much of it, because it wreaks havoc with my blood sugar...

    I love it! BUT I do not drink it plain I use it for shakes and chocolate milk.

    Ditto... I use it in my cereal but I also add nesquick no sugar choclate powder. I hate the taste of any milk. I also found that it works really well whey :)

  • Yes it is good! My sister has used it in the past, and I have tasted it! Pretty yummy! :)

    I use vanilla unsweetened Almond Breeze almond milk in my oatmeal every morning and I love it! And it's only 40 calories for a whole cup, which is great.

    I am currently trying the Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, which is 35 calories a cup. I think after this carton I will go back to the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. The Silk brand is a few less calories, but it is much thicker than Almond Breeze.

    I love it in shakes, cereal, baking...but I very very rarely drink it alone. It is a bit too thick for my liking.

    I buy the unsweetened vanilla. I don't really like to drink it plain. I use it in my cereal. However, my favorite is to make my oatmeal with it. I hated the chocolate flavored one.
  • I love it love it love it!!! I rarely drink or use regular milk for myself, and I only put almond milk in my coffee. I use it in my protein shakes or my oatmeal or if I happen to have cereal. I think it tastes way better than regular skim milk

    I LOVE almond milk now! The taste is so yummy that I've all but given up dairy milk. My favorite is the Silk "Original" kind which is 60 calories per cup. Very sweet and delish.
