    I have yet to try it but I will give it a whirl! I have tried and like rice milk. On my list to try are soy milk and also hemp milk, and now almond milk. Thanks for the recommendation!

    Now that you've tried the 60 cal version, the 35/40 cal version is very similar and in something like oatmeal you will not notice the difference at all. Not to mention, it will save you a few calories.

    I just bought unsweetened 45 cal Chocolate almond milk this morning. I can't wait to have a reason to try it.

    I live on almond milk. cow's milk not required any longer. Soy and hemp milk save your time and money. Almond milk is the way to go!!!

    AWESOME! I don't often drink milk but when I want it, the 2% milk that I cook with is SO high in calories!! I am going to have to pick up some almond milk soon. Does it have the same shelf life as regular milk?

    whats its protein content? is it comparable to cows milk?

    I saw it in holland and barrett but it was really expensive. If its good though and is got a good protein content i might give it a whirl

    I just discovered this great stuff 6 mo ago. Love, love it. I don't like cow's milk. Tried the soy but didn't finish the carton. The Silk brand vanilla is my favorite! It's like a shake. When I want a desert I pour it over light ice cream. Where's this stuff been all my life?!

    just checked it on the database and it seems that for 240ml there is 60 calories and 1g of protein, whereas for skimmed cows milk for 240 ml, its 90 cals, but has 9g of protein.

    If youre dairy free, then soya milk might be a better option unless youve definitely got your protein covered elsewhere.

    Haven't tried it!! I've been wanting to, but I was afraid of buying a carton and not liking it...but if you say it's good, then I'm gonna go for it!! :)

    I don't think Protein is an issue for most people. It's in practically in everything we eat and we don't need that much Protein. I am a vegetariam and my problem is having too much Protein in my diet, not too little.

    depends if youre exercising or not. You dont need that much if youre sedentry, but if youre fairly active you need a fair amount. A lot of people struggle to get their quota actually.
    I once got past a plateau that had lasted for AGES by just upping my protein, and its also good for muscle repair to stop soreness and stiffness after a good workout. I think most basic foods people eat are really low in protein. Not sure where you got your data from.

    Love almond milk and protein is no prob for me, but I love the fact that it has more calcium, which is a prob for me.:smile:
