    Almond Breeze almond milk. I keep vanilla and chocolate on hand but the original is good also. I just find that using the vanilla version in my cereal keeps me from wanting to use artificial sweetener packets :). And the chocolate almond milk well.... it's the bomb.

    I always keep both Almond Breeze original and Organit Fat-Free milk in hand. I use both of them depending on what I'm feeling like. I love using the almond milk for protein shakes.

    Regular 1% milk. I love it. It's my go-to drink when I need to fill up on a few more calories, or when I'm hungry but I'm not sure yet what to eat. I don't mind that there's a little fat in it, because I need it--I'm pretty consistently under my fat goals as it is.

    I really enjoy Soy Milk. I don't think I'm lactose intolerant, but dairy milk makes my stomach bloat.
    My favorite is Light Vanilla by 8th Continent, but anything by Silk is sooo good, too!

    Soy milk from Aldi. There's some fat in it but the calories are roughly the same as skim milk.

    2% now. I used to always drink skim milk, but my husband calls is dirty dish water and won't drink it. Since my son came along and needed whole milk, I couldn't get myself to buy 3 different kinds of milk, so I switched to 2% for myself and my hubby and whole milk for my son. Now I've gotten spoiled and can't stand skim milk. Oh well, I really only drink milk in my coffee, so 1/2 cup a day isn't too bad.

    Lately I've started splitting between regular & almond milk. I really like the vanilla unsweetened almond stuff.
    I kind of just pick whichever I am in hte mood for, usually its the almond.

    I drink 2%. I can't stand skim and would prefer 1%. I don't drink/use enough milk to buy my own, so the whole family uses 2%. My kids are 8 and 3, so I still want them to have the 2% to have more fat for their brain development.

    I can tell I'm in the minority on this one, but I drink real milk from a cow. We use to drink 2 percent, but have recently gone to 1 percent without any problems with the taste. As far as soy or almond juice, if you like it, that's great, but I refuse to call it milk. Milk comes from boobies and soy beans and almonds don't have them, I've looked.

    Well I can't drink any kind of soy milk and have a slight intolerance to cow milk so I drink mainly Blue Diamond Almond milk, chocolate and vanilla...If I drink cow's milk I drink 1% but cook with 2% or the unflavored Blue Diamond Almond Milk.

    I make raw almond milk right at home - pretty easy. Just soak 1 cup of RAW almonds overnight in water. Drain & rinse, then put into blender with 3-4 cups of water. Blend that all up and then you need to drain it. You can get nut mylk bags or cheesecloth or even a large mesh like strainer. The liquid comes out and the pulp is left behind. Then you can taste the milk to see if you need more water or if its good. Next you can add a bit of vanilla, some stevia, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir that all up and there ya go. You can also add in 2-3 pitted dates when you are blending the almonds to make the milk sweet.

    Personally I'm super lazy so I bought a soy milk machine & it has a mill option with a metal seive connected to it - so I just put my water in - then in the metal seive I put the nuts, dates, and vanilla....set it to mill & then take it out when its done- less mess, no real straining or anything :)

    Instead of throwing out the pulp you can do tons of things with it. Mix it up with shredded zuchinni, tomatoes, celery, carrots & wrap it up in lettuce. If you have a dehydrator you can make raw crackers, you can dehyrdate it into almond flour & use in different recipes, you can blend it with dates and then roll into balls for a quick sweet treat, make some date paste (dates & water blended) and mix into the pulp with sliced apples & cinnamon (YUMMY). As long as it doesn't go above 115F it is raw.

    Cheaper, fresh, all nutrients in tact & doesn't taste like cardboard.
    Hazelnut milk is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Taste like coffee!!
