    Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk is delicious! A lot less sugar than regular and more protein. Try it!! I looooove it! It's great for cereal and smoothies.

    I don't mind it, but prefer regular milk. However, almond milk is cheaper than lactose free milk so for the most part, I'm sticking with almond milk. The taste takes some getting used to, but after a bit it's not bad at all.

    I love almond milk!!! I use a plain unsweetened for cooking and keep almond coconut around for my smoothies. Occassionaly I will buy chocolate to drink by the glass. I save a ton of calories and my stomach thanks me for not drinking cows milk!

    I love it and it is the only milk currently in my fridge. Silk pure almond unsweetened vanilla is only 30 calories a cup. Tastes great on cereal and I never drink plain milk anyway so it works for me.

    I personally love it in my shakes and on my breakfast cereal!

    And it's lower in calories than regular skimmed milk and so much more healthy.

    It is a little sweeter, but if you like almonds then you'll love almond milk.

    To me and everyone in my family (all very wide, broad, healthy eaters - not a picky one among us)

    Flavored almond milk tastes good to me - like the soda in an ice cream soda. But it has no fewer calories than skim milk and is way more expenisve (it does have more calcium). And it's sweet, and I find eating artificially sweetened things to be a bad habit for me.

    Unflavored normal almond milk with no sweeteners tastes like milk of magnesia.

    Both are okay in granola or muesli.

    Hi....looks like almond milk is an amazing choice for those seeking a "milk-like" alternative to the poisoned dairy cow milk and milk products that most people choose for taste and consistency alone. If someone told you that you were actually changing the chemistry of your body for the worst by drinking rBGH laden milk products would taste truly matter? If just one person tells someone they love about the dangers of rBGH and so on...we may make a difference. Check out this site...http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/rbgh/index.php

    Good health to you all!:wink:

    it was like slighty bitter toasty white water.

    I like unsweetened almond milk with my daily porridge but I have to say, your description is pretty spot-on!

    I really like it. I use the vanilla unsweetened mostly. I cook with it, and use it in coffee. I don't drink glasses of it. I also like the almond/coconut blend.

    I use Blue Diamond Almond Breeze, original unsweetened (no flavor) I don't mind it in oatmeal or cereal, on it's own it's so-so. I understand regular milk because of lactose has natural sugars and all that, but I still wanted something less, fat/calorie wise too.

    Do whatever works for you. If you try it and don't like, don't feel like you have to force yourself to drink it.

    *edit, by no flavor I mean, not anything like vanilla. The basic natural flavor is nutty -- hence almond milk. lol

    I use it in my protein shakes! I think it tastes awesome! I use it mainly because there are a lot of health benefits to it and the kind I buy is only 35 cals per cup! "Almond Fresh Unsweetened"

    love almond milk... especially since it has a lot less calories than cow's milk. Use it in my protein shakes and smoothies. My son will drink it too in his chocolate milk if we run out of regular.

    I tried it & at first I was a little iffy about it, then I fell in love! I can drink a glass of it plain, or warmed up with some sweetener as a late night treat. It's great in smoothies, over oatmeal & with cold cereal. I could never go back to regular milk. I drink the Almond Breeze original unsweetened.

    We switched when we discoverd our son was allergic to milk. Now all we have in our house is either almond milk or soy. I drink soy and everyone else drinks almond. I like almond but as a woman I like the benifits of soy. My son didnt like the taste at first but now has it on his cereal. I made pudding with almond milk and my 30 year old son loved it!! Try vanila flavored first till you get used to it.

    Blue Diamond Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk is delicious. The regular sweetened is OK, but if you're adding to cereal the vanilla flavor goes a long way. I've tried all brands, and Blue Diamond is the closest to regular milk- hands down.

    If only I could buy this in Bournemouth..........all the local stockists stopped selling it earlier this year for some unknown reason and its REALLY annoying as I haven't had the chance to even try it yet.

    I like it. I try to not have a lot of dairy for my own reasons and almond milk helps me enjoy little things like cereal and shakes..

    I especially like the Blue Diamond Coconut blended ones. Yum.

    I like almond milk, but I don't drink it straight. I use it for shakes/smoothies mostly. I was using Silk vanilla soy milk, but switched to almond milk to reduce calories, however, it does not contain as much protein.The taste is ok. Not quite as good as the soy milk, in my opinion.

    We love it. If you're looking for something to taste just like cow's milk, you'll be disappointed. But, if you're willing to have a new beverage experience and try it on its own merits, it's really quite tasty. The chocolate and the vanilla are both very nice. My husband uses the unsweetened vanilla on cereal. For regular drinking I don't like the unsweetened as well.

    Try it - dairy doesn't agree with me and while I can't drink a glass of almond milk and pretend it's a nice cold glass of real milk, it is great in smoothies and cereal. When I go crazy, I get the Blue Diamond sweetened chocolate and drink it ice cold from the glass. It has a different consistency and colour and if you expect it to be EXACTLY like dairy milk, you will be sorely disappointed but if you try it as something new, you might really like it.

    Love it. It's great. Better for you than milk with way more calcium. And it's Way less calories. Unsweetened Plain or Vanilla for me!!!

    Low calorie and extra calcium which everyone needs.
