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.

    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 treat :)

    I use Silk Pure Almond Dark Chocolate. I don't drink it by itself, just use it as a base in my smoothies.

    Make your own almond milk and cut out the carrageenan.

    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 etc

    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 :-(

    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.

    Any brand that has added calcium, because too many people who use it aren't getting enough.

    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.

    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. ^_^

    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...

    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. <3
    Usually I wouldn't drink almond milk (or any type of milk) by itself, but I've started making exceptions for that one.

    This sounds amazing! I am going to have to look for it!

    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.
