...is surprisingly good! I just started using it this past week and I love it. I tried soy milk in the past and it just wasn't for me. The almond milk is really good in cereal, especially unsweetened cereals. When I drink it straight I can taste the almond if I really think about it. The rest of my family drinks regular cows milk, so I buy a 1/2 gallon of Blue Diamond Original and it is only 60 calories per cup, AND it keeps for much longer than regular milk. I believe what I bought last week doesn't expire until early July!

    bought some for the first time a few days ago. Initially I bought it more for the reasons that a) it was on sale and b) the expiration date is like, two months from now. At first gulp I wasn't sure, but after a couple of sips, I'm happy to say I'm hooked. Always avoided cows milk because it gets me real congested for some reason, but have always been rather concerned about not getting enough calcium, so am sooo glad to have an alternative that doesn't cost a fortune.

    I buy the Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk - recently made the switch from cow's skim milk about a month or so ago. Also love it. No sugar, 40 calories a cup.

    Word to the wise - although the expiration date is a long time out when you buy the almond milk - read the fine print - it's printed on the carton to use within 7 days of opening (though I've kept it a little longer with no ill effects).

    I'm lactose intolerant and used to drink soy milk until I discovered almond milk. I LOVE it! I drink a glass of it 1-2 times a day. I want to try coconut milk next. I tried rice milk and it was gross.

    I like Almond milk.... I LOVE HEMP SEED MILK!! My goodness, so creamy & nutty tasting and crazy good for you. I buy it when it is on sale, so it goes for the same price as the Almond milk. I do not miss cow's milk anymore!
