    I drink Blue Diamond unsweetened Almond Milk regular and vanilla. I LOVE IT!! I actually crave it. It did take about a week for my taste buds to adjust but now I prefer that, even my 12 and 6 year old do. Higher in calcium as well!

    I use skim milk in my cereal and oats and sometimes drink a 1/2 a cup, I think it tastes fine. I don't like whole because of having a dairy cow for years we would have to mix the cream into the milk before drinking . I do love cream for cooking.

    Almond milk! I tried Silk's Almond Milk with Dark Chocolate and i'm not going back to dairy milk again!
    And it's only 120 calories for 250 ml.
    The plain version has much lower calories..

    I am addicted to this stuff!

    OP, in general I prefer almond or coconut milk.

    Is this a real question? Did someone really ask the difference between skim and 2%??

    I actually prefer skim milk. I've been drinking it for so long that anything else tastes thick and leaves a film on my mouth. When I have whole milk I feel like I should be eating it with a fork.

    I looked at the almond milk and it tastes good but doens't have as much protein as milk.

    I like skim milk. I've been drinking it for years - even when I was overweight and not doing anything about it, I was drinking several glasses of skim each week. It takes some getting used to, but eventually the 2% seems too thick! I didn't know any adults who drink whole milk.

    Edited: Just look at the chart. The crap underneath is typical B.S. Dairy products do not contain antibiotics.

    You sure?

    Given as my family ships (non-organic) dairy, yes.

    If one of our cows gets treated with antibiotics, we test her milk before we add it back to the tank. Until then, she gets milked into a separate bucket. If we accidentally put her milk in the tank to ship, we'd dump it. If we didn't, and it got onto the truck, the company would test the milk when it got there. If THEY found antibiotics, they would dump the entire TRUCKLOAD of milk and bill my family for the dumped milk (they take a sample at each farm so they know where the antibiotics came from.)

    This is standard procedure.

    Seems to be a bit extreme to be worrying over the calories in a glass of 2% milk...there is a happy medium.
    I mean, You wouldn't catch me debating whether to allow myself that extra half a glass of milk and whether to workout to make up for it, That just strikes me as going a lil over the top, but that's just me,

    I get what you are asking. I have realized that I was racking up a bunch of calories with my dairy. I have not switched from whole milk, b/c I am one of those crazy nuts who only drinks whole milk, preferably raw. But, I have sure had to drink a lot less of it because a little packs on the calories. I do like almond and rice milk, but I never checked the calories, but as far as the flavor goes they are fine in cereal or something. I would save the good stuff for the glass!
