    Almond milk for me tastes exactly like milk but very low in calories, lower than low fat milk anyway thats why I prefer Almond milk to eat with things like weetabix or oatmeal. I think the almond milk is around 13 calories per 100ml.

    Thanks all! Seems like no clear answer. I guess whatever works best with your calorie count and macros.

    Whatever you like best. I can't stand almond milk in cereal.

    I've noticed that almond milk is very popular around here. Just curious why so many are using almond milk over low fat cow's milk?

    I don't drink that much milk. Mostly, I have 1% organic with cereal with breakfast about 3-4 times a week.

    Would there be any benefit to me switching to almond milk? I like the higher protein in cow's milk. Just wondering if I'm missing something.

    I'm lactose intolerant and I like the taste.

    We started using almond milk because my partner is diabetic...regular milk is higher in calories and sugars. Yes..natural sugars, but for a diabetic it is an issue. I find I like almond milk very much and would use it anyway! Great in smoothies.

    Almond milk all the way! I grew up on a farm abroad, and coming here, the cow milk here tastes so differently! Just off-taste/bland...almost artificial.....and then I developed lactose intolerance........

    I also eat almond yogurt (so yummy), or dairy lactose-free organic yogurt.....

    It is honestly just a personal choice. I use both....cow milk for cooking with, almond milk for shakes, drinking, in cereal, etc...

    I tend to use almond milk for shakes and milk for cooking or drinking. I buy some about once a month or so. Like others have said its a personal choice.
