    I love it too!
    I'm having trouble finding the unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk near me so I've been having the reg which has more calories, oh well.

    I like it too, but if I have bitten my lip too much which I do often, then when I have it my lip swells up since I'm allergic. I drink it anyway. Only been drinking it for a couple of weeks now and don't want to stop unless my allergy forces me to. Yeah I know I'm taking a risk. Throat hasn't been too itchy though.

    I love love loveee almond milk! (I also can't get enough rice milk)
    My favorite way to enjoy it:
    When I have a sweet tooth, I pour a cup, add a tiny bit of vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, and a splenda. Mix it up and it's a lot like a horchata. Yum yum yum!

    I freaking LOVE almond milk. Wish I had switched from soy milk years ago. It's so rich and creamy and delicious.


    Regarding not being able to find the unsweetened vanilla. Ask your local store if they'll start carrying it for you. Or call around and see if there are stores that do carry it.

    I use a teaspoon of Chocolate quick powder and 2 cups of the regular unsweetend almond milk.
    Just 100 calories and it tastes like a chocolate shake.

    One a day, it's my treat :)

    Me too! Almost better than soy, but still somewhat hard to find in my area. I did find a Dark Chocolate Almond Milk - it does have a slightly higher calorie content but I have just a few sips of it and it cuts my chocolate craving, which is still a heck of a lot fewer calories than devouring pieces of chocolate! :)

    I love it as well. I would have never tried it if I had not seen everone raving about it on this site. It is amazing it only has 40 calories.

    I use it in my hot cereal, cold cereal and I make lattes with it. I indulge slightly and add a bit of sugar to my latte and all together I get a 20oz latte for around 65 calories because I make a latte/americano hybrid. :D

    I have wanted to try it, but I am lactose Intolerant. Is there any Lactose in it??

    If you think the packaged stuff is great, try making your own -- awesome!! SUPER easy to make, and cheaper, too. You just need almonds, water and a blender. Check youtube for lots of how-to vids.

    Omg, unsweetened almond milk is AMAZING! I have it every morning with my Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal. Sooooo good together. Probably my favorite meal of the day and only 200 calories! :)

    I was skeptical but for no good reason. Love it! It makes a great shake with a frozen banana and a couple of tbs peanut butter. I just bought some chocolate almond milk for the first time, haven't tried it yet though. Thought it would make mh peanut butter banana shake that much more amazing!

    Almond milk is good for oatmeal too, and is fine for baking. It doesnt work for jello pudding mix though.

    I've been drinking organic milk. It's pretty good. Never tried almond milk. But after reading how much you guys like it I think I'll
    give it a try.

    Awesome idea for the PB banana shakes with almond milk! SO going to try that! I use regular almond milk with my shakeology, and, you are right, it's GREAT on oatmeal! One of my FAVE breakfasts is steel cut oats, blueberries or bananas on top, almond milk, sprinkled with flax or granola (flax is so good for you, but watch the calories of granola or a flax mixture - they sneak up on you) - it's heaven in a bowl!

    I was sooo skeptical when I first bought it BUT I have never switched back to cow's milk! This stuff is WAY better tasting than cow's milk and has more vitamins than cow's (even more calcium and vitamin D!). Here is the comparision:

    Cow's Milk- 120 Calories per cup
    Chocolate Cow's Milk- 200 Calories per cup (compare to chocolate almond milk)

    Unsweetened Silk almond Milk (still have not tried this one)- 35 Calories per cup!
    Original Silk almond milk (my favorite for everyday use)- 60 Calories a cup!
    Vanilla Silk Almond Milk (It is sweet so I use this one in shakes)- 90 Calories a Cup!
    Dark Chocolate Almond Milk (VERY good!)- 120 Calories per cup!


    Oh yeah, and the I use the original to cook with. I made mashed potatoes a few nights ago with almond milk and couldn't tell the difference!

    It is dairy-free, so no lactose!

    I use it in my cereal as well to save on calories. I like the kashi cereal, which is high in calories but filling since it is a high protein cereal. The almond milk is just as good as real milk in cereal but I can't drink it in my coffee for some reason!

    I haven't tried the Silk brand- almond breeze has good offerings though. The unsweetened original is 40 cals a cup and I found I really prefer it to the vanilla, for cereal. The chocolate I just bought is 45 calories a cup and unsweetened. I hope it's as good as you say the silk dark chocolate is!

    LOVE IT! I workout in the evenings and so need a healthy/protein calorie boost to meet my minimum intake and to aid recovery.

    I love a tall glass of vanilla almond milk with a scoop of vanilla whey powder in it. I just started adding a handful of blueberries and hitting it with a stick blender. Who needs prepackaged protien shakes?

    I wish they carried the chocolate Silk Almond milk by me but not yet..
    I will wait patiently, in the mean time I will keep on with the Nestle Quick powder.
