Just curious, who uses almond milk (or any alternative milk)? Which one do you use and why?
Just looking for my best options. Thanks!

I use Silk Soy Milk more than almond, soy has more protein. I use the unsweetened kind.0
-
I use Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened vanilla and the vanilla light. It's just my preference0
-
I use Almond Milk because it is good and I am lactose intolerant. I use the "original unsweetened". I find no difference with brand, but the plain works in cereal with no difference, has least amount of calories and no sugar added.
FYI, the Chocolate is awesome also as a treat0 -
I use Silk Pure Almond Dark Chocolate. I don't drink it by itself, just use it as a base in my smoothies.0

Make your own almond milk and cut out the carrageenan.0 -
I use Blue Diamond or Alpro, both unsweetened. They're the lowest calorie milk replacements I've found. Wouldn't recommend as a cold drink but good if you want healthier porridge, coffee or hot chocolate etc0

I like unsweetened (plain or vanilla) Silk Almond. Silk brand does not have Carrageenan in it. For me, that stuff gives me IBS symptoms, especially if it's in ice cream :-(0
-
I use Almond Breeze because there's usually a sale or coupon where we shop. My husband and I go through about 4 cartons a week, so price is definitely my main priority! But I have tried the Silk and enjoyed the taste and texture more than others I've tried.0
-
Any brand that has added calcium, because too many people who use it aren't getting enough.0
-
simple truth plain
Not very sweet not too thick and I can get it at A discount store in town0 -
Friendly Farms vanilla unsweetened from Aldi because it's cheap.0
-
I'm kind of a fan of the hybrid coconut/almond milk. Hard to find, though. I think it's a bit tastier, and about the same calories.0
-
I like the Silk Dark Chocolate Almond and the Silk Chocolate Soy. I use the Almond in my coffee, and soy in smoothies and shakes. ^_^0
-
Silk Original Unsweetened Almond Milk. 30 calories for 8oz, has a nice nutty flavor when drinking alone or in coffee/cereal/oatmeal, etc, is virtually undetectable when using it in cooking. I prefer the flavor over soy milk, which is a little "beany" tasting...0

What on earth is carrageenan?!0
-
i use blue diamond unsweetened vanilla. 30 calories for 8 oz. thats why. sometimes i use trader joes unsweeteened vanilla but thats 40 calories. lol.0
-
Almond breeze vanilla. Yummy!0
-
Earth's Own Almond Fresh, in either Vanilla or Original. Haven't tasted the unsweetened kind yet. I was kind of surprised to see refrigerated almond milk at my grocery store, so I think it's pretty new, tried it and fell in love.
Usually I wouldn't drink almond milk (or any type of milk) by itself, but I've started making exceptions for that one.0 -

This sounds amazing! I am going to have to look for it!0 -
I use Blue Diamond almond milk, I use the original unsweetened one to minimize sugar intake. I prefer the Blue Diamond, I think it tastes better than the Silk brand.0
