    Is there a particular brand that's good? What kind of milk were you drinking before? I've been wanting to try it but was a little scared.

    I know right? I LOVE Almond milk! Make sure to get the unsweetened milk. I usualy get the vanilla for my everyday milk....I get the unsweetened chocolate when I want a treat and add a little stevia to make it sweet! Mmmmmm Delicious!!

    Enjoy!

    Be careful of the sugar content on the sweetened milks - almond, rice & soy!!

    I'm loving it too! I buy the Silk Almond Milk (unsweetened) and it's 60 cals per cup. To me the Silk brand tastes a lot better than the others. When I drink coffee, I make a latte w/it and add a bit of stevia, cinnamon & a splash of vanilla. Yummo!

    I agree - I'm off dairy for another 3 weeks (trying to figure out food intolerances...) and I tried almond milk because soy disagrees with my stomach - and WOW! It's awesome. I gave some to my oldest daughter and she could barely tell the difference - after she drank 3/4's of the glass she said - "this tastes different"...

    I bought almond milk yesterday for the first time! I had half a glass of the unsweetened chocolate and it was kinda "meh." I think it'd go great in a smoothie with some frozen berries, spinach, and maybe some protein powder though.

    I'm looking forward to trying the vanilla though, I want to make sure I'm not relying on soy too much so using almond milk instead of soy milk will help.

    I second that. I was too skeptical at first and then a few people on this site recommended almond milk as an alternative to regular milk for my cereal...mmmm mmmm good!

    I've been drinking a lot of soy milk, but I'm considering switching to almond. It sounds good.:smile:

    I must say that the healthiest and the best-tasting almond milk ever was the one I made myself. :happy:

    If you want to make some:
    --soak two cups of raw almonds overnight
    --then add them to the blender with about 4 cups of water (more or less, upon your choice)
    --add some raw honey (optional, for desired sweetness level)
    --add a tiny pinch of salt, and vanilla if you like it
    --blend it all well for a few mins
    --then pour the contents from a blender through a cheese cloth and strain the liquids out into the bowl.

    Use the left almond mass for the cookies, pancakes, power bars, etc. Mmm good! :wink: The milk is easily stored in the fridge, up to a week, but it'll be gone before you know it. :laugh: Promise.
