milk?

fat free is what i drink

I love the unsweetened Almond milk....it's pretty rich though but I like that.

All up to you and what sort of nutrients you need. I don't need fat from milk, I get it other places. I can't handle cow milk very well, so I drink almond milk. Lots of choices out there.

Almond milk is one of the best but the taste can throw you if you're just getting used to it. I alternate between skim milk and almond milk depending on my mood.

how would you describe the taste like if you had a bowl of cereal with it or something does it affect the taste of the cereal?

it is a little sweeter and nuttier, but tastes great on cereal and you may not need to add any or as much sugar, if you put sugar on your cereal.

I just can't compare almond milk to cow milk....(and dont even consider soy milk to exist)

Of the cows milk...I'd say whole....low fat dairy isn't better. But i'm not a milk drinker, the children are.

Now almond milk is just delicious....and I dont see it used the same as regular milk.

We don't buy cow's milk anymore. My boyfriend and I drink unsweetened plain almond milk with everything from coffee to cooking. Gives a nice flavor to food in cooking as well and is nutty and delicious with granola or cereal. And at 35 calories a cup? Can't beat it.

anything but skim....bleh! it looks like blue water...

prefer whole, but i use 1%...

I haven't drank cow's milk since high school. Even then I'd water it down if it wasn't skim or 1% otherwise I'd have a tummy ache. Right now I'm loving Silk almond milk occasionally I treat myself to the dark chocolate. I don't remember to drink it often because I try not to drink calories, too easy to consume a lot quick.

I got used to soy milk when my daughter inherited my lactose issues but now I'm not that used to it. I used some on my cereal a couple weeks ago and couldn't finish it all the taste was off. I'm so used to my almond milk now.

I tortue myself more often than needed by having ice cream. LOL On the occasion I eat more than a ounce of cheese I'll pay too. LOL I really need to start a cal/mag supplement.

I myself use almond milk even to cook with. I have a pretty high protein diet from other sources, so almond is the best choice for me because there is LOADS of calcium which is super important for women and the calories are just right. I buy the plain unsweetened kinds for every day use, but occasionally get vanilla or chocolate as a treat and it doesn't ruin my day.

There's actually more calcium in cow's milk than there is in almond milk.

I agree with what a number of people have said already- Almond milk is awesome.

Soy milk is not good if you have a thyroid disorder (amongst other things).

I personally find that the lower the fat in cow's milk, the better. I rotate between Almond milk and cow's milk as I prefer cow's milk in my tea. I hope my taste will change though so I can drink Almond milk all the time :-)

I used to love 2%, but then found that 1% was good. Skim milk just tasted like water to me. Lately, though, I've had to switch to lactose-free milk (instead of deal with the painful cramping). The kind we usually get (Horizon) only comes is 2% lactose-free. But if I get Lactaid I get the 1%.

anything but skim....bleh! it looks like blue water...

Your skimmed milk looks like this? I'd take it back if i were you.

Mine looks like this



I simply have it in my tea as it's less calories, and the taste is pretty much the same in tea.

Silk Pure Almond almondmilk has 45% DV of calcium; 1% dairy milk has 30% DV.

Data consistent for typical 1% dairy milk.
