Why Almond Milk?

I drink it because I seem to have a slight intolerance to lactose. I'm ok with a little, but too much hits me hard. I did soy milk for a while, then switched to almond at the recommendation of my girlfriend. Tastes good and I can have a full bowl of cereal without paying for it later.0

I generally prefer cow's milk, but Almond milk is tasty, low cal, and good for lactose intolerant people, especially those who are for whatever reason avoiding soy.
I would choose almond milk every time over skim cow's milk though- I find skim milk repulsive. Almond milk (especially the unsweetened ones) mixes very well with protein powder and only adds 35cals/8oz (depending on the brand). It's a million, zillion times better than water for mixing protein shakes.0 -
i love the taste, i dont want milk, and its super low cal0

I'm lactose intolerant, and it's low in calories. I hate the way it tastes in cereal, but I don't notice it when I mix it in my protein shakes.0

I actually used to drink it (and make my own) until a doctor told me that it had the health benefit of water. And to make it, you pretty much just stick almonds, water, vanilla, and a sweetner (I used agave syrup) in a blender, then use cheesecloth to strain it, so you take out all the gritty almond that is left behind (which, it turns out, is the good stuff). I've since gone back to soymilk.
Of course, it was only one doctor who told me that... I see lots of other evidence that it is healthy... I just choose not to use it anymore. (so please, no one jump all over my post b/c of that statement).0 -
Because cow's milk is nasty. Humans are the only species that drinks milk from another species!. Almond milk goes awesome in protein shakes or with anything else that would call for milk.
Only because other animals generally don't have the choice! Put a bowl of milk in front of a cat and see if that statement sticks.0 -
It is sooooooooo good! I'm totally addicted to it and think of it as a treat. I like blue diamond or silk and go with either vanilla or dark chocolate. The unsweetened did not taste good to me. I got started on it when I went a month trying to be a vegan. It is lower in calories, and is a good source of nutrients. Try it, You'll like it! and if you don't, then that is sad, but I love it!0

I like cow's milk. One question: How can almond mild be lower in fat than fat free skim milk? I'm not allergic so I'll stick to the real thing and take my daily multiple vitamin.0

Can anyone from the UK recommend a good brand? I've just tried alpros almond milk and I'm NOT a fan. But there again I prefer delamere soy milk to alpro soy milk so wasn't sure if I didn't like it just because it's alpro.
Anyway, any recommendations would be welcome.0 -
Almond Milk is a popular subsitute for cow's milk. It packs a lot of Nutritional Value and, unlike Cow's milk, is safe for those who are lactose intolerant or have gluten and casein allergies
Below is a statement I found from fitday.com. Hope this helps!
Cow's milk does not contain gluten.0 -
Dairy free, high in calcium, tastes creamy in smoothies.

I just prefer the taste. I make my own and use less water to make creamer for my coffee as well.0

While I used to use almond milk, I have recently switched to unsweetened flaxmilk. At only 25 calories a cup, I find it tastes much smoother and is much better in cereal and alone. I absolutely adore it and would never go back to almond.0
