Whole, 2%, or skim milk?

None, Almond milk. It is the best choice out there!0

I think it comes down to what you like more than anything else. I grew up on skim milk, but I cook with 2%.0

Whatever fits better into your day. There's no right or wrong answer.0

Personally, I'm lactose intolerant so I buy light vanilla soy milk, but for the things that I need real milk for, and will suck it up and take the lactaid pills for, I always go with skim. It just tastes better to me, not sure really about the health benefits of one over the other.0

If you're trying to lose some serious weight, then sure, a lower-fat option is an easy way to save a few calories.
Choose whichever fits your taste. Just know that a whole-milk mustache doesn't mean you need to schedule a date for a triple-bypass surgery.
And found no association between the intake of saturated fat (the kind in milk and other animal products) and the development of heart disease and stroke.

We buy whole milk and 1% for our daughters. I drink the 1%.0

Depends on the context. If I am buying milk for home, I buy 1% (or almond). If I am drinking an espresso drink, 2%. The sweetness of the milk lessens the need for sugar. Skim milk doesn't have the sweetness or the creamy texture.
If I am drinking brewed coffee, I use whole milk instead of creamer or half and half. More calcium, less calories and I like a lot of milk in my coffee.0 -
I stopped drinking dairy and drink unsweetened soy, almond and occasionally coconut milk. Less calories, more protein. It's a no-brainer for me. I try to save my calories for eating, not drinking..0

1% all my life!0

I've heard that drinking skim milk is like drinking sugar, but also heard that skim milk is the best to drink for the best calcium absorption. Whole milk provides too much fat. We do however need to have fat in our diet so I go with 1 or 2% and take a calcium supplement with magnesium (which ensures absorption of the calcium.)0

Almond Milk!0

Just switched my family over to fat free milk. All the kids are finally at an age that they do not need full fat milk. They have not complained and it helps keep my calories in check.0
-
I have semi in my drinks which i try and keep to a low anyhow, but in protein shakes etc i have full milk.
Ive heard almond milk is nice, but not tried, YET !!0 -
I think most people can manage 2%. Whole milk has a high fat content, which is good for babies, but toddlers should drink 2% after age 3 or so. I myself drink skim, i hated it at first, but now its my go too. Whole milk is very tasty, but the calories and fat are not worth it for me.0

I drink skim. I grew up with dairy cows so I got cooler milk, explains why I'm not a milk fan. Anyway, it tastes good with chocolate or Capt crunch...I mean Fibre 1 cereal :happy:0
-
A plain glass of milk I'll usually use 2% , for everything else I use skim. Cereal, protein shakes, cooking, etc0
-
neither... soy or almond.0
-
almond!!!0
-
1% because whole milk is too "thick". 2% is ok, but I don't need the milk fat as much as I do the calcium. Skim is just milk flavored water, lol.0
-
I agree, I have switched to unsweetened Almond Milk, at 35 calories, and 0 sugar compared to 90 calories and 12 sugars. Also has 50% more calcium than milk. When I want a little somthing different I will have a glass of 1%, but I like the Almond milk!0
