Almomd Milk vs. Regular Milk vs. Soy Milk

I bounce back and forth between soy and coconut milk. I love the taste of coconut milk, but prefer the consistency of soy. Try all of the non-dairy varieties. Before I started getting healthy, I avoided "milk" altogether because of slight lactose intolerance. Now I really enjoy my substitutes! (Coconut milk ice cream is incredibly delicious and not nearly as fatty as real cream!)

Which milk do you like the most?

What fits in your caloric/macro goals?

Drink (insert whichever milk).

The end.

I always use almond milk! If there is a difference in protein I sure make up for it with the other foods I eat. I think the texture is much more luxurious and smooth compared to skimmed milk and it has a lovely flavor. It is also lower in cals so I can afford to have a bit more cereal aswell!

ive tried almond milk for the first time and now I will no longer drink regular milk. I love the taste with my cereal and its thick so it fills me up and love the low cals. almond milk FTW!

I only use milk with espresso or the occasional (very rare) cream sauce. I have used almond and coconut milk in the past but lately I've lost my taste for both. I have just taken to drinking more Americanos (water instead of milk in espresso) and just drinking less milk. However, I love the real stuff.

Drink whatever you prefer. Nothing wrong with any of the options.

I buy almond milk now and again. I use it in recipes and in shakes most of the time. I tend to use half regular milk and half almond milk. I don't drink milk and I try to limit how much dairy I consume because it makes my acne worse.

Unless you have an issue with one of the ingredients within milk drink that. It may be higher in calories than almond milk however it has a lot of great nutrients.

woops double post

Regular: I like this stuff...calcium is more bioavailable. The studies I've seen show that the fortified almond and soy stuff aren't as easily absorbed. An easy fix to this would just drinking more so if you're lactose intolerant or whatever go for it...but that would also mean more calories, so I just stick to the milk stuff, which is a lot less processed (I'm in Canada, so none of the weird milk scare tactics apply to me), though I do like my occasional unsweetened almond and coconut drink. I wondered about the scare tactics people take to get people to stop drinking milk and they all seem rather silly or can be proven wrong so I stick to fresh bioavailable protein and calcium filled milk with fat that helps me absorb all my vegetable nutrients!

Almond milk I like the taste of and it's low in calories (or you could just drink less milk)...Less protein, often added preservatives (the seaweed preservative carrageenan can be linked to stomach problems, small amounts do not seem to bother me), oddly processed way to get calcium etc...I have it occasionally because I like the taste it adds to coffee.

Soy milk is blocked with nutrients (some fortified tho). There are many nutrients in soy that are wonderful, but hidden in so many of our foods these days, one hardly needs it added to their diet. I tend to stay away from soy but drink it when I'm out since I don't get a whole whole lot in my diet. If you eat tofu regularly and soy regularly then I'd choose something else. It's linked to various problems when consumed in excess and you'd be surprised what you can find it in. It's in things such as breads, crackers, cakes, rolls, or pastries containing peanuts, peanut oil, soy flour, processed and "natural" cereals, pasta, soy beans, soybean sprouts, sauces, fruit drink mixes, fruit toppings, coffee substitutes instant coffee, hot cocoa mixes, malt beverages, pork link sausage, deli/luncheon meats, commercially prepared meats (used as a meat extender), cheese substitutes, tofu, bean curd, natto, miso, textured vegetable protein, canned soups, commercial entrees, and combination foods, baked goods, such as cakes or cookies which contain soy flour, commercial ice creams and other frozen desserts, Hard candies, nut candies, fudge, and caramels, protein powders (even ones that are not soy protein based), margarine and butter substitutes salad dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, or gravies, Commercial vegetarian products and meat substitutes Heinz® Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins® sauce, fermented soybean pastes (miso and natto), soy sauce, tamari sauce, granola, breakfast bars, Imitation bacon bits, Roasted soybeans or "soy nuts"...

I'll just add that coconut milk is yummy. And i have absolutely no idea why anyone drinks rice milk. It has less benefits over most things.

As I don't want to be someone who drinks another species milk (and we are the only ones who do), I find almond milk the best, certainly tasty and low fat.

My decision is totally based on what cereal I buy lol!
Healthier cereals go well with plain unsweetened almond milk and if I'm doing something like lucky charms...well. Cow milk all the way!
