    I grew up - for the past 30 years drinking ONLY 2% milk.

    I recently transitioned into the almond milk. And currently buy the *unsweetened* almond milk as well.
    The vanilla almond milk is only 40 calories per cup & the chocolate at 45.... and I love it.

    I make my pure whey protein shakes with it, use for cooking, and in cereal <3

    I use the Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk and have ended up preferring it to the sweetened version. Sometimes I make my own almond or cashew milk, too. It's easy and eliminates additives, and sometimes I just enjoy the process, but I haven't found homemade to save me on cash *or* calories =)

    In my case, unless it's cooked, you wouldn't want to be in the same room with me after I drank it. Or after I eat cow milk yogurt.

    The OP didn't say she tried soy milk, though there is nothing at all wrong with Silk soy milk. Unless you have a specific medical issue related to soy consumption, it's a healthy drink.

    If you have a specific medical issue with the consumption of any food you should obviously avoid it.

    Me = female, 2 children, been drinking Silk soy milk daily for more than 20 years and have no health problems.

    Staying out of the soy-is-bad-for-you stuff going on in here (which I don't believe), I would say you should try all sorts of plantmilks to see if you enjoy even more! Almond and coconut milks are both super yummy, and I love hemp milk. There's also oat milk, rice milk and hazelnut milk. All have different tastes. It's really best not to think of them as "fake" milks. They're all milks in their own right, nothing fake about it, and none of them are actually trying to imitate animal milk specifically.

    We have gotten rid of milk altogether in our house and drink only almond milk.

    I love both soy and almond. I’m a vegan, and worked with doctors and dietitians, and never once has soy been an issue. I think it a personal preference, or some people might have an allergic reaction to soy. I have been eating it since I was a kid, along with a lot of people i know..and we are all just fine!

    I love almond milk! I get the original type from Trader Joe's. I bought it on a whim one day just to see what I thought, and it tastes pretty good to me. I still really like cow's milk, but I'm having fun with almond milk for now.

    You all should try oat milk... It's delicious. Skip the soy, it's hidden in so many other foods and if it's not organic it's almost guaranteed GMO plus it spikes estrogen levels.

    i stopped using all soy foods and drinks after my thyroid gland started to fail tried almond milk after reading on here how nice it was ,tried it loved it ,:drinker: deff going to try oat milk along with lots other things that ppl have that i have never tried

    It depends greatly on what sort you get. You can find plantmilks that are heavily processed and plantmilks that are basically not processed at all, aside from blending. For nut/beanmilks, specifically, the process in its purest forum is just to soak the nut overnight, then blend it with water, and strain (if desired). Of course, some of the more commercial brands add extra ingredients and processes to get their own final product.
