    We drink fat free, although lately I've switched to Silk unsweetened almond milk (it's only 35 calories for a cup and is DELICIOUS!) and I like that even better!

    I drink soy milk (vanilla) because I like the way it tastes, but I like Skim Milk. I know alot of people hate it, but I like that it's not heavy.

    Almond milk exclusively here. Haven't had cow's milk in way over a year. So much healthier.

    the almond coconut blend by blue diamond is ah-mazing! (even my lactose-loving hubby enjoys it!)

    Im in LOVE with this stuff.. The only supermarket that carries it here is 40 minutes away but I make the drive anyways because its soo yummy:)

    I switched to skim a few years ago, and now even 2% is too much for me. Plus, I go through so much milk that skim is probably the best choice anyway, as far as calories and fat go. =) I do love milk.

    I have been drinking skim for 5 years now. I tried whole milk and a friend's house...wow! It tasted like eating a stick of butter!

    Fully skimmed on my cereal, other than that I can't stand the stuff (tea & coffee black!). Cheese is my downfall though, can't get enough of it! :P
  • I own cow shares and get 2 gallons a week of real milk.

    I use unsweetened almond milk for everything that I would normally use milk with only 35 cals and more calcium than milk

    I keep switching between Organic 2% and whole milk. I don't really care much for the fat % in milk. It's pretty negligible in comparison to the fat I get from other foods. :o)

    /jealous of all of you. :tongue:

    2% moo-juice for me, though I'll occasionally play around with the non-dairy milks. Of those, Silk Dark Chocolate soy milk tastes heavenly and is the only non-dairy milk that I'll drink straight.

    My biggest problem right now is finding a good carrier for my protein shakes when I need to cut out some of the calories (otherwise I just do milk, or a milk-water mix). I can't do water, because it makes them taste like crap, and I prefer to enjoy what I consume. I found So Delicious regular coconut milk gives it a nice thick and creamy texture, but it's got a lot of carbs and very little protein in it, and I've been trying to rebalance my macros.

    Soy milk has been a good balance of protein and calories, but I've been hearing a lot on the "dangers of soy," so I'm trying to find out more on that.
