Blue Diamond not as tasty as Silk. will go for the 20 extra calories from now on.... it's not bad but it doesn't make me want to hold it on my tongue and savor it like Silk does.

    I was using Almond Milk Unsweetened Vanilla and it definitely took some getting use too. I had a coupon (im a couponer but not like the ones on tv, LOL) and tried the Silk Purecoconut and I like it better!

    I tried silk vanilla coconut milk and barf! I used it in a smoothie and couldn't finish. I can tolerate just about anything but I'm chaulking that half gallon as a loss! I use SO Delicious almond milk plus and like it a lot. I use it in protein smoothies and don't drink it plain though.

    I just switched to light vanilla silk, 70 cals., from a few varieties of almond milk... The unsweetened almond milk is 35 cals... but for 35 extra cals, the light vanilla silk is my choice. I could drink almond, but didn't ever enjoy it. The light vanilla silk tastes like good vanilla ice cream! Love it!

    I picked up some Silk Almond Unsweetened last night. My first venture into almond milk. I like it. My only question is why does it need so many ingredients?

    I just tried it a few weeks ago and I LOVE it! I drink the 60c one as well. I havent been able to find the 35c Almond milk out here. It has made my protien shakes sooooo much tastier. I am HOOKED.

    I like the unsweetened kind to me that tastes even better! I forget brand I get but it does not have a lot of ingredients.

    We like Almond Breeze better... funny how everyone is different. I get the unsweetened vanilla. No added sugar. If they don't have it, I get unsweetened and add vanilla.:) 40 cals!!!

    I like almond breeze unsweetened vanilla better than silk unsweetened vanilla but I'll buy both. I've tried coconut milk twice and I can drink it but I don't really like it.

    I LOVE Silk Unsweetened Original Almond Milk in my fruit smoothies. I go through a gallon every week.

    I cannot just drink a glass of milk (almond, cows, goat's, soy, rice, etc) but I use blue diamond almond milk to make my oatmeal in the mornings or mix it in my smoothies and it's fantastic with the fruit. I live on almonds though - almonds, almond butter, almond milk. :)

    I've never tried the Silk Almond milk but I am fond of Blue Diamond. I accidentally got the Original Unsweetened one time, and that taste definitely takes some getting used to. I love the chocolate and the vanilla! Nom nom nom nom!

    Blue Diamond makes a combination almond & coconut milk that is 60 cals/cup. I love it--not too sweet, not too bland...just right :D

    Blue Diamond Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk is my fav for shakes. Purchased Coconut Milk yesterday and going to use it in ice cream or shake.

    Coconut milk in my taste is pretty good ,I have only tried the one that SILK makes but I even put it in my childrens cereal and they had no complaints. I will have to try some almond milk now.

    I either use Rice or Soy Dream if I can. Rice Milk is the tastest IMO - tasty as in, there isn't much of a taste. Vanilla Silk is an aquired taste to me...I prefer Light, it's still really sweet and soybean-y to me.
