Has anyone ever tried it? I was recently told to go lactose free by my doctor. I have lactose free milk but it is so sweet which I hate. I was told to try unsweented almond milk that it is pretty good but I was wondering everyone else's thoughts. I can't do soy milk because it messes with my hormones.

    I just bought it the other day. I would prefer regular milk. It tasted pretty good in my oatmeal and I am drinking a glass now. So it is do able.

    I've never been a big milk lover, so I actually prefer Almond or Soy milk to real milk in my coffee and oatmeal.

    My wife and I have been using Almond milk for a while now. I use it primarily on my cereal for breakfast. I am not a milk drinker. I like it much better than soy milk. It comes unsweetened.

    I personally think it's gross. It kind of tastes like marzipan if you've ever had that. Maybe vanilla almond milk would be better though? I think what I tried was plain.
    I think soy milk is yummy, plain or vanilla (or chocolate). I tried coconut milk too, which is really nice and creamy with really low cals.

    funny thing - I am trying it for the first time today! I am a big milk drinker (1%), and hate soy milk passionately, so I decided to try almond milk (Original, Unsweetened) - starting out with it in my coffee - so far so good *fingers crossed*

    Almond is great. Since it is sweet on its own, you may want to purchase the original, unflavored version. I use it in cooking, on cereal, etc and like it. Hemp milk is also very good and a little thicker, so it is good for sauces. There is also rice milk, which tends to run thinner (I don't like the taste personally).

    I use Almond Milk pretty much everyday. I use the unsweetend, sweetened versions of the Vanilla and the chocolate. I usually don't drink it plain. I add to smoothies, cereals, and things like that. I honestly think its great. If you're going to drink it plain, get the sweetened kind. Tastes delicious in my opinion!

    I love almond milk, unsweetened, vanilla, chocolate and regular. They all taste good to me. Unsweetened is best for using to make your own salad dressing. Just toss some onion, avacado, garlic and what ever else you like into a magic bullet and blend till smooth then dump on your salad. Can come pretty close to a ranch or caeser if you use the right stuff.

    I think it's ok in cereal.. I just have the regular, not vanilla and it's passable.... doesn't takes good in my tea though!! And it has about 40 less calories in a cup than 1percent milk!

    Thanks everyone. I love to drink fat free (skim) milk and I so far I am not enjoying this milk I currently have. I love to drink it by itself I was hoping this would be an awesome alternative.

    I prefer rice milk or coconut milk over almond or soy milk which leaves an after taste. Both rice and coconut milk come in plain or vanilla and taste great over cereal or in a smoothie.

    I have been drinking Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla almond milk for the last 9 months and love it. Target is the only place I've found unsweetened kind.
