    unsweetened vanilla almond breeze with special k fruit and yogurt cereal is AMAZING. and wayyyyy less calories than milk! and tons of calcium. and i'm hooked!

    But that "meal" would have very little protein. Milk typically has more calories because it has more protein.

    yeah I see what you're saying about protein, but I have plenty of other protein throughout the day so for me personally it would be ok

    I use rice milk on a regular basis, but almond milk is also really good! Great in your breakfast, coffee, dinners etc! I use Rice milk just like I use to use regular milk!

    We love it. Give it a try in over night oats for a hearty breakfast.

    It is my favorite of all milk type of products.

    I buy it at Costco in the 3 pack and if I want chocolate milk, I mix it with chocolate. This ensures moderation.

    How does the price compare with regular old cow milk?


    I pay 2.99 for a half gallon of Almond Milk from Save a Lot

    We LOVE the stuff. I am addicted to Dunkin's Iced Lattes but don't do skim milk, so I stared making my own at home with almond milk and now I can have three for the same calories as one and some days I really need the extra caffeine. It's great in smoothies, or cereal and it has more calcium than regular milk as well as healthy fats. I also like So Delicious Coconut milk, but I don't like the sweetened version and the unsweetened is hard to find around here.

    I've had it, it tastes more like vanilla to me... (it was the unsweetened one)
    Still like normal milk better tho, but calorie wise almond milk is a win!

    I LOOOOOOOOVE the Dark Chocolate Almond Milk. SO good for a sweet tooth or chocolate craving. I've used it in my smoothies, too. Makes it even better!

    Vanilla almond milk goes great with cereal, as well.

    Just started drinking it. The almond breeze unsweetened is very good. It is 30cal/cup. I make protein shakes with it.

    I love it... I am allergic to dairy and soy so it has been a life saver for me. Coconut milk is pretty good too!

    It is not only good for your health but it is also yummy. I drink Silk's Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (my fave) as a drink. I put it in smoothies, in my cereals, in recipes substituting milk, in my oatmeal. Everywhere!

    And low calories: 30 cals per 250 ml.

    After hearing great things about it here, I bought some a year or so ago. It was horrible! I don't know what's wrong with me, as I obviously have different taste, but it didn't appeal at all. Maybe I should give it another try.

    The price is relatively good here, there was an offer in the supermarkets here where it was 3 cartons for £3 which is equivalent to $4.99. Normally it is not much more expensive than cows milk. However more likely to have offers as less people drink it (at least here)

    I use it for just about everything. I don't like cow milk...but occasionally have to buy it for certain cooking things. I buy the Silk light original almond milk. It still taste rich to me...but good.
