    Also skim milk has more protein than Almond Milk so you should feel full longer

    I personally hate skim milk. I've tried, but I just can't bring myself to drink it. I stick to 1% or 2%.

    That being said, I also LOVE almond milk. Keep in mind the fats are from almonds, meaning they're healthy fats. I personally like the taste of almond milk more for certain things. I especially like it on my cereal or in smoothies, because it provides a little extra flavor. I do like cow milk for certain things though, like making sauces or custards, and if I'm eating a piece of chocolate cake, I'll usually want to wash it down with some cow milk.

    I like the taste of Almond Milk more. And if I drink milk it's at least 1% because I think Skim is nasty.

    for healthy fat: almond milk... for protein: skim milk.

    i use both on a fairly regular basis, coconut milk too.

    totally depends. If I want a glass of just straight up milk or when it comes to coffee and stuff, skim wins. But If I'm doing something that could turn out to be a lot carby-er (not a word) than I want it to be (cereal, protein smoothies) I use almond milk.

    Me too.

    I love unsweetened almond milk. I made cream of wheat with it this morning and loved it. If I have too much dairy I notice my skin breaks out a little. So I stick with almond milk. I also love making hot chocolate out of it!

    Almond Unsweetened. Use it for drinking straight up and for anything that you would normally use milk.

    ^^^ this, exactly

    Unseetened almond milk. A LOT less sugar then real milk and i think it tastes better. The unsweetened chocolate almond milk is soooo good in cereal!

    Recently tried almond milk for the first time. Had it with Cinnamon Toast Crunch (I know, nothing but sugar) and it was freaking awesome. I started using for lots of stuff, the taste and texture is great, and most importantly, the nutritonal value of the Almonds are more beneficial to you than the skim milk (my opinion).

    The way I see it: If you like it, go for it! Dont deprive yourself of it or you will crave and crave until you binge. If you find the calories or whatever to high for you, then have that serving of what you want, and work the rest of your day around it. Have a light lunch if you had an almond milkshake for breakfast. Things like that.

    Although I dont think Almond milk is too much of a worry.

    almond milk :) I use it in my cereal ( I don't like the taste of any milk so I add a tablespoon of nesquick powder 18cals and it makes it so much better )and protein shake/smoothies- where the taste is already masked.:bigsmile:
