    I tried the Almond milk before and I just couldn't get used to the taste so I go with skim milk.. I'll stick to eating almonds instead lol

    I personally prefer the texture of the almond milk to skim, so I use it for shakes and stuff.

    for taste I would go with skim but i feel like almond is better nutritionally (not entirely sure) and use it in shakes, baking, breakfast stuff..

    Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk.

    Stop worrying about the Fat esp since it's good healthy fat.

    Almond Unsweetened. Use it for drinking straight up and for anything that you would normally use milk.

    That small number of calories won't matter a whole lot. I personally prefer almond milk. Can't get past the taste of most soy stuff.

    I like the low calories of the almond milk...I don't mind the fat content b/c it's coming from nuts which are a source of healthy fat.

    totally depends. If I want a glass of just straight up milk or when it comes to coffee and stuff, skim wins. But If I'm doing something that could turn out to be a lot carby-er (not a word) than I want it to be (cereal, protein smoothies) I use almond milk.

    Unsweetend Vanilla Almond milk - unless it's for coffee then I have to use half & half...may eventually go to almond milk, but haven't made the switch yet.

    Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk for cereal but If I want a nice cold class of milk I go for the skim.

    We switch between the two. My son and I love both! And soy milk. But when we do get the almond or soy milk, we get the vanilla flavor, and not just plain. Super good in smoothies, too!!

    Also skim milk has more protein than Almond Milk so you should feel full longer

    I personally hate skim milk. I've tried, but I just can't bring myself to drink it. I stick to 1% or 2%.

    That being said, I also LOVE almond milk. Keep in mind the fats are from almonds, meaning they're healthy fats. I personally like the taste of almond milk more for certain things. I especially like it on my cereal or in smoothies, because it provides a little extra flavor. I do like cow milk for certain things though, like making sauces or custards, and if I'm eating a piece of chocolate cake, I'll usually want to wash it down with some cow milk.

    I like the taste of Almond Milk more. And if I drink milk it's at least 1% because I think Skim is nasty.

    for healthy fat: almond milk... for protein: skim milk.

    UNSWEETENED almond milk has no sugar. :) I'd rather have the fat than the sugar.
