almond milk vs. cow's milk

I've looked at the nutrition facts labels on different brands of almond milk recently, and from what I've seen almond milk is not a significant source of protein. Milk and soy beverages, however, are good sources of protein.

From what I understand, our bodies benefit from fluids (to rehydrate) as well as carbs and protein after a workout. Milk and soy beverages would be ideal for this, since they contain all three. If you don't really like cow's milk, perhaps you could try almond milk mixed with a little protein powder. Or you can put together your own post-workout snack with foods you do like, so long as you're replenishing fluids and getting a little protein and carbs for muscle repair.

I put almond milk on my cereal ... but after reading your post about the protein content in soy, maybe I'll switch. I know that having protein in the mornings helps me stay full longer, so that's a plus....

Almond milk is just nut tea.

Nice.

Really! It is! You crush up some nuts and put them in a sack and let the sack of crushed nuts- or 'nutsack' if you will- soak in water.

I hear Soy is not too great for hormones. I also believe protein from animal sources tend to be more beneficial. What about Goat's milk? Almond milk is okay, just make sure it does not have Carageenan in the added ingredients. Linked to cancer but some companies use it as a preservative.

For muscle repair, it's cow's chocolate milk that's really great, because of the ratio sugar:protein.

Almond milk is great if you're watching your cholesterol or saturated fat intake (as there is none), if you really like dairy, but consuming too much, so you want to replace some milk you're having by something else, and other uses. But not a great protein source, hence not great after a work-out.
