Almond Milk?

bump,id like to know

I ♥ almond milk, like the above said, has a slight sweet taste to it.....

love it! i'm lactose intolerant, so for me it's the perfect substitute.

I recently switched from skim milk to unsweetened almond milk. It lacks in protein but if you're not using it for that reason there is no loss plus it has some nutrients that are missing from milk, less calories, and no sugar. I don't drink it alone because its very thick compared to skim milk (although watering it down would solve this) but I LOVE it in my cereal, scrambled eggs, etc. Basically anything that you use milk in you can use almond milk in. Plus it stays good much longer! They sell it in half gallons. Try it!

Personally, I did not like almond milk. It was the plain flavor that I tried and I thought it tasted like Play-Doh (not that I have eaten Play-Doh recently). I didn't care for it at all, but I have heard if you buy the flavored kinds they are a little better tasting. My husband likes to use it on his cereal.

My son and I both love it! I find that it is better than soy but it is thick so I just use it in cereal, shakes, etc. I reccomend it. Hope this helps!

I actually prefer soy milk to almond milk. I use Silk Very Vanilla soy milk and it tastes just like ice cream-no joke. Even my brother who drinks whole milk (gross) is hooked on it which is unfortunate for me because all he eats is cereal and soy milk is not cheap lol.
I also use it in my protein shake which makes the taste of the shake a little more tolerable.

If you just want to try it out, buy a personal on the run size of almond milk. That way you're not wasting a whole half gallon.

Good luck!

I use it every day for iced coffee, about 1/4 to 1/3 unsweetened almond milk to 2/3 to 3/4 cold coffee, sweetened with stevia. I get my calcium and feel treated.

Great idea!!!! Thanks!

It's not the same nutritionally as cow's milk, but the taste is a lot better than soy milk, in my opinion. I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't drink milk. Almond milk is my favorite substitute. It's a little sweet, and very tasty. It probably doesn't taste anything like cow's milk, but I'm not sure since I haven't had cow's milk in several years.

Exactly. Also lactose intolerant. I love almond milk, and soy milk. I get the vanilla flavored and I like it on cereal much better then I ever liked cows milk.

I dig almond milk, but I'm completely in love with hemp milk.

I love Silk soy milk!! I always have a carton of Very Vanilla in my fridge! I might try the almond milk too. I love almonds haha

In my house we have skim milk, unsweetened soy milk, and unsweetened almond milk at all times. Each milk has it's own uses. I prefer skim milk in my cereal, where my husband like the almond milk in his. I use the soy milk in my milk frother for lattes and in my smoothies since it has less sugar. The shelf life is so much longer on the almond and soy milk but I usually have to run to the store to buy more anyway. I could have a spare fridge full of the almond and soy. Try the chocolate or vanilla to drink plain if you'd like but keep in mind the flavored ones have more sugar in them.
