Fat Free Milk vs Almond Milk

I drink almond milk because I hate the taste of regular milk. That is basically why I started to drink it. I will say it is really yummy. They have chocolate and "holiday nogg" during the holidays.

I don't drink milk really, but I use 30 calorie vanilla almond milk in my breakfast smoothie everyday. I rarely have cereal anymore but if I do, almond milk is good. It's only a few calorie s less than skim but it all adds up.

I agree with the others, I converted mostly for the taste (though either way I don't have it often in large enough quantities to really "taste") but also since dairy and I don't get along in larger doses I use it in cooking/baking almost exclusively. I love using the unsweetened vanilla in oatmeal YUM.

Dairy milk makes my stomach feel like a small alien is trying to break free. I switched to soy but the recently switched to unsweetened almond. The almond has almost no sugar, which I watch, and I prefer the taste to unsweetened soy.

I drink almond milk because I like the taste better. The fact that it's less calories is just an added bonus.

I've thought about it once for the lower calories, but it doesn't have the amount of protein normal milk has. For me that's my most important macro. So I stay with normal milk.

We only drink Almond or Cashew milk in my house.

I stopped drinking cow's milk as soon as I was old enough that my mother stopped forcing me to drink it because I don't like the taste. I drank soy milk for decades. Now that I'm older and have packed on a few lbs, I also drink almond milk because it's less calories.

Ever since I learned that I was lactose-intolerant I can't stand the sight of cow's milk. I prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk over any other non-dairy.

dairy is one of my downfalls. i love milk, cheese, etc. i also really like almond milk. so i switch off from time to time. i also find using almond milk helps me kickstart when i plateau, probably for the obvious reasons versus milk. i drink it by the glassful, or on oatmeal (just had it for breakfast!). i don't cook with it. i prefer the unsweetened, original/unflavored varieties, blue diamond or 365, doesn't much matter. when i drink milk, it's usually a high-quality organic, fat-free type, such as from stoneyfield. i don't go organic in everything, but milk is one item well worth the switch. sometimes i use rice milk, but usually find it too sweet even in the unsweetened versions. hope this helps.

I go between skim and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I really can't tell a difference to be honest. If I am using it in cereal or a drink mix, I can tell no difference. Almond milk on its own has just a light sweet taste to it. Nothing major.however, if you plan on drinking it on its own, I suggest getting regular vanilla almond milk, not unsweetened, because unsweetened almond milk can have a little weird flavor to it. But is isn't noticeable in cereal or mixed with something.

Almond milk has a lot less protein.
