You mean other then the vastly superior taste? that in itself is more then enough reason for me to use almond milk.0 -
They are both beneficial. Almond milk does contain fat and more calcium than skim milk.0
-
Lots of people avoiding dairy, for allergies or other reasons.
I personally just found and LOVE cocount milk. YUM!0 -
For me I use Almond Milk because of the sugar and carbs in Skim Milk. Skim milk has 12 g of sugar per serving.0

this might sound stupid...... does it really taste like almonds? lol0

Almond milk is absolutely
disgusting. Don't
put yourself through that! I
personally buy Light Soy Milk. It's
delicious and is healthy. Skim milk
is also gross.0 -

OMG that stuff is amazing expecially if you buy the vanilla one mmmmm0 -
For me: it lasts longer in the fridge (I always end up throwing out half the skim milk I buy) & it allows me to have cereal in the morning & not have to worry about a dairy interaction with my medication.0

My opinion is, not really. I like both, I think almond milk can be a bit thick sometimes....depends on the brand. I like the vanilla. Also Silk (soy milk) tastes fantastic.0 -

Me too! I avoid refined sugar like the plague. Once I'm down to where I'd like I'll probably add back in regular milk...But I also like the almond milk taste bc its thicker--skim milk is gross to me, I prefer 2%. Any girl looking into soy milk should do some research first--there's some (albeit disputable) evidence that soy is not so great for women.0 -
Thanks for the comments!0

it does have a hint of almond, especially if you stick with the unsweetened and unflavored kind. I love it in my cereal or in my protein shake but I would not really just drink a glass of it.... maybe if I dipped some Oreos in it, but that would kinda defeat the point. LOL0 -
Lactose free and easier to digest. I love the Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla almond milk. The Silk to me taste terrible. I use mine in my protein shakes in the morning.0

I never drink milk, when i do buy it, i buy Skim. I LOVE the tast of Almond Milk and Rice Milk! BUT Almond milk goes bad REALLY FAST. You have to drink it within days of opening it.0
-
I use almond breeze vanilla in my protein shakes, becasue it has less cal, sugar and carbs. it does only stay good for 7-10 days after opening but you can buy it on sale and as long as its not open it leeps for about a year.0

It's about what YOU need. Example: I READ Labels, and I know what My Personal Nutritional needs are, I choose the foods that provide those. Soy, Animal Milk or Nut Milk may provide some of those needs. Which one is BEST is up to the individual needs. I don't use Animal Milk because I have problems with lactose, but lactose free brands are good. I used to use Soy, until I RESEARCHED and found that too much Soy is a negative for women, also I began to develop an allergy to it. I now use UNSWEETENED Almond Milk because it Tastes Great, Low Calories (35 Calories a Cup), High Protein. If I start developing an allergy to it I will go back to Lactose Free Milk.
Best Answer, Know YOUR Needs and what You are trying to accomplish with your wellness, research the foods and supplements that will get you there. Someone may be HIGH on a Food that may be Harmful for You.0 -
Unsweetened Almond milk has 40 cal/cup vs 90/cup for skim. Vanilla almond milk has 90/cup and makes a far superior smoothie!0
-
very difficult to find unsweetened almond milk in canada, isn't that odd? safeway in the states has it right on the shelf, not in a canadian safeway - only heavily sweetened vanilla.0
