    I like the unsweetened almond milk. Silk brand mostly. Use it for my protein powder drink and mix in a half cup into my Powergulp smoothie

    Dark Chocolate Almond Milk for a sweet tooth fix.

    Original Coconut Milk for cereal. It adds sweetness to it, and has fewer calories than dairy milk.

    Of what you listed, I prefer Almond Milk. I normally use Vanilla Soy Milk and Chocolate Silk for a treat.

    I love coconut milk unsweetened. My treat is coconut milk latte with pumpkin spice zero calorie sweetner (sweetened with splenda).

    This is pretty good. I dont follow the exact technique shown here but its a good point of reference to start making your own. I put about a tbsp. of coconut oil in the batches I make.

    I just use regular milk 1%...the only thing I really use it for is 1/2 cup in my recovery smoothies and a splash in my coffee. I think soy milk tastes like **** and I'm not a fan of almond milk at all. Coconut milk is pretty good but I have no reason to not just drink regular milk and incur the additional expense of getting coconut milk.

    Almond all the way. Hazelnut and hemp are ok, too, but almond is sold everywhere.

    Silk Soy Milk tastes amazing, I like it better than "real" milk, but it makes me bloat like crazy. :(

    I like skimmed cow milk and I like hazelnut milk. Chocolate flavoured oat milk is yummy (although it is distinctly different from chocolate milk). I can tolerate almond milk but find it fairly uninteresting.

    I use 2% Altadena milk in my cold cereal or oatmeal; but I only have these things for breakfast once or twice a week. I don't like the taste of soy, rice, almond or coconut milk, and I make my smoothies/protein drinks with OceanSpray Diet Cranberry juice. I drink my coffee black with one Splenda.

    I just started using almond milk within the last week. My stepdaughter and her mom use it at home and she requested it here. She and her dad are lactose intolerant so it seems like a good option from milk, and I like that its low calorie as well.

    What does everyone here use? Is coconut milk better, worse, or the same as almond milk?

    I will say this for unsweetened almond milk, its yuck and the sweet is too sweet. lol I have to cut 1/4 of the sweet version with the unsweet to make it work for me and taste good in my morning cereal.

    I use whole milk, 2% milk, coconut milk and almond milk depending on what I'm making.

    I like almond milk, chocolate and vanilla unsweetened mixed with my plain whey protein. It's like drinking chocolate milk without the gross dairy milk taste (I hate cow's milk). Even with the whey in it I don't have that milky taste.

    Coconut milk is good too. I mix it with chia and mango, let it sit overnight and eat it as a dessert. :)

    I didn't like Almond Milk when I first started using it, but after awhile I started to really love it and now I can't drink any other milk. Also, you should try the flavored versions.

    Never tried almond milk. I've had coconut milk a few times, cooked with it (chicken korma). I do not drink cow's milk or goat's milk because I hate the taste of milk, big time. Make it into cheese, that's my take on it.

    When I was trying to lose I drank unsweetened vanilla almond milk, because a cup is only 30 calories. I still drink that and prefer that with my protein powder....but have milk when eating cereal.
