What type of milk do you drink?

Organic whole milk. I'm of the opinion that anything lower than 2% fat milk should be called a "milk product" instead of milk.
And concoctions that don't come from mammary glands are most definitely not and should not be called milk.
It's all marketing. Start calling almond milk what it is, which is almond water, and it loses its appeal. (It is mostly water, a few almonds per container, and optionally sugar and flavoring) Soy milk, rice milk, and coconut milk are the exact same model.
I think most people know that almonds don't have titties lol
I've made almond "milk" at home and it hasn't lost its appeal to me. Personally, I'd love to be able to drink human milk, but that is not socially acceptable for adults so whatevs...

I like 2% milk in my cereal, but prefer foamed unsweetened soy milk in my morning espresso coffee (no sweeteners at all).0

I drink whole raw milk from our local dairy. Before that I drank the milk from my goats. Best milk you'll ever have!!

I drink low fat or skimmed cows milk.
Will drink whole milk if skim/low fat not available - eg am having a coffee at someone else's place.

Interestingly, despite the eww factor in western societies ,there are cultures in which human milk is acceptable for humans other than babies - frail elderly adults, for example.
Not direct from the breast, of course.
But then we dont drink cows milk direct from the teat either.0 -

I know - some very weird reporting going on here.
- Not just the joking comments like " I drink beer, not milk" were reported but also any comments mentioning human milk in any discussion point at all.
- Like it is a taboo topic, in a thread about milk.

Oh I also drink goat and sheep milk. Goat milk is pretty sweet, as if sweetened with a bit sugar. It reminds you of that "sweet and salty" flavor. Sheep milk is pretty heavy, as if you're drinking half and half, but with its own distinctive flavor that may not be everyone's cup of tea.
I don't really consider nut milks to be milk (and I'm not a fan of the taste either, unless it's hidden in a cake)0 -
I grew up drinking 2% but then switched to Fat Free, but I've recently switched again to 1%. Less fat than 2 but less sugar than Fat Free. I only ever use it for my cereal--which is rare anyway or when I pig out on oreos. When I make smoothies, I use unsweetened almond milk.0

I drink "whole", milk, supermarket one.
I would love to try raw milk, but it seems it's illegal to buy it around (Michigan), I know there are workarounds for that, but I almost feel like buying drugs, and I suspect it's easier to get those, lol.0 -
Some people just need to lighten up! I don't drink milk much, but when I do its fat free, why? Because it has less calories then whole milk.0

Raw cow milk tends to be heartier than supermarket milk (or is it just the cows around here?). I suspect it has a higher fat content, but yes, you need to try it somehow. It tastes great!
I love milk.. raw, supermarket, full, skim, half skim, cold, warm, you name it. Just talking about it makes me feel all fuzzy.

I'll figure it out. I know some local farms let you "rent a cow", and allow you to have the milk for a price (and yet you are not buying the milk, I love this law twisting workaround). I guess I should try that method.
I will ask around in my local farmer's market as well.0 -
Full fat, filtered Cravendale milk for me, sometimes half fat if it is on offer. I hate skimmed milk and soya milk never mixes well in hot drinks, whilst almond milk does not seem to work well in hot drinks for me either.0

Unsweetened almond milk. I use it to make my protein shakes.0

I recently reintroduced cow's milk. In small amounts. Like, half a cup with my oatmeal. For the calcium, mostly, as I have problems with calcium intake due to having a deficiency in it for so long. I can't drink it in large quantities, though, or it makes me even more constipated than I normally am (lol tmi, but harsh reality for some of us).
So, I discovered almond milk. And it's pretty good. I realize it's not actually "milk", but it works as a decent substitute. In recipes where it doesn't, I use soy milk. But I don't like soy milk as much. I noticed they have cashew "milk" now, too. I'm afraid to try it, but I might.
I think I would stillb uy them if they were called "almond water" or "soy water". Although "milk substitute" could work, too. I don't know. I drink them because they're easier on my stomach.0 -
Grass fed whole milk.0

Actually, where I live nut milks are not called milk. It's called "almond drink" for example. When I first joined MFP I was reading about these milks and wondering what the heck they are. I actually thought they were milk, flavored with nuts - like chocolate milk. Took me a while to realize it's the exact same thing as the nut drinks we have.0 -
2% or whole milk typically. I've made almond and soy "milk" at home, and sometimes I'll get coconut milk as well. Just depends on what it's for. When my youngest is sick I try and keep milk out of the house as she will continue to use it an exacerbate her mucous issues.
I think someone must be really pissed off and on a flagging spree tonight, because it's not just this thread where people are getting flagged for dumb things. Then again maybe being able to see them and call it out is a bonus of the new system.

In for milk, bad advice, increasing flagged post count, etc.

I drink fat free skimmed milk. I find half fat & full fat taste too creamy0
-
Recently switched from 2% to 1% because there's not a *huge* taste difference and those extra 20 calories make a difference when you can clear a quart at dinner. I don't do that often anymore, but if my calorie allowance could handle it I'd probably be drinking even more.....0

It's going to turn into a circus of people just flagging posts for no reason. Stuff that there is nothing wrong with. Just because people don't agree with what's said.
I like to move it move it!

It's a new feature, of course people are going to abuse it. The abuse will taper off eventually when it becomes less "new". I think the flag button is being used as a "dislike" button.

I have an allergy to cow's milk, and have tried goat and sheep's milk and they just don't turn my crank. I can tolerate a tablespoon or two of 10% cream in my coffee, but for the most part I use coconut milk. Almond, soy, hemp, flax, etc. are all okay, I just prefer the unsweetened coconut stuff (the one in the dairy case, not the thick and creamy canned one)0
