What's the best milk?

I like almond and soy, but I rarely drink a glass of either. I've always hated cow milk.

I also dont like cow's milk. Try goat milk, I love it.

I like goat's milk and cow's milk, neither enough to drink a glass of, but both are fine in a smoothie or, on rare occasion, in some oats or pancakes. The main reason I never do milk is I don't use it enough to have it on hand. (Although now I want to try sheep's milk.)

I like goat's milk yogurt too, but also cow's milk yogurt, and cow's milk cottage cheese, which are the main sources of dairy I eat (well, other than cheese). Nut milk and coconut milk are just different products entirely, and I consume them too -- mainly homemade cashew milk which is not low cal, but delicious and a nice source of fat in a smoothie.

I like organic valley's grassmilk - especially the one with cream on top.
Their cows are pasture raised

I don't drink any kinds of milk. I do eat cheese though.

I love the grassmilk. But, only get it occasionally in the summer months. Also, very occasionally get their chocolate milk. Otherwise, I get their fat free milk.

Nesquick Chocolate Milk with added Protein.

Unsweetened Almond milk = using it in my high protein baking
Chocolate Soy Milk = trying it in my chocolate milkshake style smoothies
Chocolate Milk (cow) = Post workout

I basically never just drink a cup of milk. But if I did it would be 2% cow milk.

Not milk. Nothing to do with milk or even the real cashew "milk". Its simply water with few cashews and lots and lots of other "interesting" items.

You can make cashew milk at home. It's just cashews blended with water (unlike almond milk, homemade cashew milk normally has the whole cashew blended in). Nothing is added. It's (IMO) delicious and useful as a higher fat, lower carb option for a smoothie (as they tend to be low fat/high carb).

Now, is it milk? Depends what the definition of milk is, but it's been called milk since the middle ages, so I have no issue with it.

Is it low cal? No, although almond milks tend to have less of the actual almonds even homemade, so they might be (painful to waste nuts, however, which is why I prefer cashew). If you buy them, sure, they are flavored water with some nutrients added.

Heh, jruzer wins the thread.
