why almond milk

My body can't handle the lactose and casein in milk. I like both almond and soy milk but recently dropped the soy because I suspect it's messing with my hormones. Almond milk has a nutritional profile that works well for me and I actually prefer the taste over cow.0
-
I prefer it in cereal.0
-
Way lower in calories than cow's or soy. And can't tell a dif when I pour it over cereal. Win!0
-
I try to use non animal products when I can. Plus it is very low in calories, and too much soy is just never good for you!0
-
Because it's delicious!
To be honest, when you compare it to skim milk (which I also drink), it doesn't have a whole lot of benefits (unless you're lactose intolerant, of course). But it's still quite good for you, and to me, at least, it tastes like a sort of liquid dessert. I heartily recommend it.0 -
so do you think i would find it too creamy? i like 1% or skim milk as anything more then that is too thick and creamy for me.0

I LOVE almonds, but they make me break out in canker sores. I use a lot of coconut milk, especially in green monsters and protein shakes. I just love the taste of coconut, especially with chocolate stuff, so...0

When Silk came out with its Almond and Coconut milk, I had the same question. However, I decided to stick with soy because it provides 6 grams of protein vs 1 gram with almond or coconut. Protein is critically for my diet since I do not consume animal protein,
I suggest you try a different one and even try rice milk. You will find which one you like the best as far as taste and nutrients.
Good luck!0 -
it is so good! I drink it because I'm part vegan (I eat eggs) so no dairy for me
I don't think you can be "part vegan". I believe you are an ovo vegetarian.0 -
I use it in everything id use dairy milk in from baking to cereal. I loooove it.. I tend to steer clear of animal products and this is delicious way to get a great source of calcium and your "milk" fix.0

almonds (and thus almond mild) also helps you lose weight... wish I could handle eating them0

It is tasty, it has good mouthfeel, it is shelf stable and lasts for weeks in the fridge and it is really low in calories. (I never ever finish a carton of milk. I need to make a concerted effort to drink it).
40 calories a cup for unsweetened makes it perfect for smoothies. Soy tastes funny and is 100-150 calories.0 -
I don't drink milk or soy and it's very low in calories.0

Ah yes, forgot to mention how long it lasts before expiring! HUGE benefit for me as I live with two other college students and we each buy our own food, so when I was buying regular milk it would ALWAYS expire before I could drink it all! Such a waste, and as broke as I am I can't afford to waste :laugh:0

I tasted that for the first time a few weeks ago, bought a half gallon of it, it was horrible, the consistency, the taste, yuck, I'll stick with my 1%milk, I really hated it......
Not all brands are created equal. The PAcific brand is awful. Whole Foods and Almond Breeze are good. Haven't tried any others yet. Without a doubt almond milk is the best in cereal.0 -
It's good. I don't know if it has as many grams of protein per serving of soy milk, but it is lower in calories.
I like pretty much every cow milk substitute I've found, rice milk (tastes most like cow milk), soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk... I want to try hemp milk next.
I say try everything. You only live once and you might discover something that is really useful in your weightloss journey.

Me too! That was one of the reasons I tried soy in the first place.0 -
I like to make my own raw almond milk from sprouted almonds...
oh, it is SO GOOD!! much better than soy! :drinker:0 -
It's good. Although it can be challenging to milk an almond, they are wily things. And soy beans, milking them is VERY hard.0
