Why do you drink almond milk?

I drink it because I'm lactose intolerant and with a history of breast cancer in the family I avoid soy products.
Me too!0 -
I started drinking almond milk (unsweetened usually) due to diary intolerance and low cals, but it's also still high in calcium! I usually drink way less of almond milk than I did regular milk too.0

Because it has a longer shelf life. It's usually a waste of money when I buy milk because I can never finish it before it expires.0

If I'm going to just be drinking milk by itself, I stick with 2% cow milk for sure. I'm not a big fan of the taste of almond milk.
HOWEVER, almond milk tastes great in cereal - can't really tell a difference between that and cow milk!0 -
For me, Almond milk tastes exactly like milk that has been poured over and has had Life cereal soaking in it. Which for me isnt a bad thing, I kinda like it.
Anyone else think Almond milk tastes like that?0 -
To gt away from all the hormones, preservatives and antibiotics.0

I mix my whey protein powder with almond milk, it's awesome. I get the vanilla unsweetened. Only 30 calories per cup and 45% more calcium than regular milk. I've never been a fan of cow's milk.0

I became lactose intolerant about 20 years ago, therefore, I went to soy for a bit and then was turned on to almond and rice milk and I never looked back. When I did drink milk, I could only drink skim which was like drinking water.0
-
I should also add that cow's milk makes me break out in the worst allergic reaction I've ever had.0
-
I like it because to me it lasts longer in the fridge, whenever I buy cows milk it spoils before I drink it all. I don't like soy and rice milk seems to give me the same spoilage issue.0

its lower calorie. But that's really about it. It is a source of healthy fats, but with it being such low calorie, i dunno. You could get them in much cheaper, better tasting ways imo.0

its lower calorie and seems to have a longer shelf life for me0

because dairy gives me the sh!ts and soy milk tastes really gross0

I can't drink milk or eat ice cream. They hurt my stomach. When I started doing Insanity and making healthier choices, I kept seeing unsweetened almond milk in all the nutrition guides and on healthy eating websites. Tried it, loved it!
I just discovered Clemmys lactose free ice cream. It is fabulous!0 -

Well put!0 -
Personally I can't stand cow's milk and love the taste of Almond Milk, but that's about it.0

It didn't have to do with heart; I stopped dairy b/c of migraines though it turned out it wasn't a trigger however, I love almond milk now (I drink Silk unsweetened - 30 calories per 8 oz); I love it plain, in cereal, in my smoothies, and in my coffee.
I did try soy milk for a while but it was hard to handle though I got used to it, but when almond milk came out...I liked it much better.
I also tried rice milk which caused disturbances in my lower tract, so that was a no go
I tried coconut milk but I didn't like the residual that I got and it was horrid in coffee and I REALLY love having a cup of coffee every morning, so that didn't fly
And like I said, technically, I could go back to cows milk, but I really like the almond and skim milk tastes like water to me now, so no thanks.0 -
I like almond milk better than white milk.0
