    I don't drink cows milk. But I love Almond milk! Yum! I get the unsweetened which is 35 calories a cup.

    I made a homemade chocolate cake today and used in it in place of skim milk. Turned out great.

    I think Silk Coconut milk, unsweetened taste more like milk , better than Almond...more creamy in texture like milk but lower in fat and 80 cal for 1 cup and lots of calcium, but i do like almond milk as well, it's just more of a nutty taste :)

    DEFINITELY try it! I love it. Doesn't taste anything like almonds, i get the unsweetened kind and its around 40 calories for a whole cup. delicious with cereal, shakes, etc. I've never had the chocolate one but i'm sure that would be amazing too.

    Some like it because its lower calories and fat and to me it taste way different than milk. Its a hit or miss type thing. My daughter had a friend over(she is 9) and she liked it on her cereal. It does have less protein than cow or soy milk. I tend to alternate them in our house.

    I'm not a cow's milk drinker. As an aspiring vegan I just don't like it plus I'm mildly lactose intolerant.

    I bought the unsweetened vanilla and it is quite milk like. I taste a hint of almond but nothing overpowering and it's not sweet at all.

    It's only 40 calories for a cup and I like it. I bought the unsweetened plain once though and OMG.........GROSSEST STUFF EVER!!!!

    I have only tried the chocolate but it is DELICIOUS! I think 120 calories for 8oz.

    The container always has an expiration date far in the future but it states to use withing 7-10 days of opening. Does anyone use it past those 10 days? I have a hard time drinking it so quickly! Thanks :)

    I'm a fan of the unsweetened vanilla. I haven't had regular milk in so long I can't say how it compares.
    But when I drank coconut milk that was most similar in consistency to cows milk.

    I use almond milk mainly in my smoothies and protein drinks. I love the richness it adds to it.

    I like the almond milk because I am lactose intolerant and its good for that it tastes like milk yes with a hint of almond to it can be a good snack I buy the one that only has 35 calories in it.

    My daughter can't have dairy so we made a Green curry out of the unsweetened So Delicious coconut milk,in the shelf box. Our local store can't keep it stocked so I buy two at a time. I LOVE it! Saute a whole chopped onion, add 1/2 jar of Thai Kitchen green curry paste, and 1 container of coconut milk. Great over hot bowls of veggies with 2 oz of turkey thrown in.

    Ok, I need to make up a batch.

    I've been drinking the unsweetened vanilla almond milk for about a year now. I like it because it doesn't have that thick consistency that diary milk has and it taste great! Give it a try!!

    The Blue Diamond Vanilla UNSWEETENED has 0 grams of sugar per cup. 0!!! Cow milk, even the skim, has about 13 grams of sugar!
