    my favorite is coconut milk, but for the sake of calories I drink Silk original almond milk. I think soy milk has a strange flavor. I also really like Organic Valley 1% milk because it is creamier like 2% non organic for some reason. I'm going to pick up a gallon of fat free organic milk today to see if it tastes like 1% of non organic.

    I use the unsweetened almond/coconut milk at home for my protein shakes and cereal. Only 45 calories a cup vs 110 for the 1% our kids mostly drink. My wife uses vanilla soy milk as she is lactose intolerant. That is 70 calories a cup.

    I grew up drinking skim milk, but recently bought some Almond milk just to cut down on my dairy a little. I am addicted! I get the unsweetened vanilla. I try very hard to be good about not eating late in the evening, and an 8 oz glass of almond milk is the perfect thing to settle an empty stomach before going to sleep. I also like it in steel cut oats. It might just take the place of my 1/2 gallon of skim. It's THAT good.

    I alternate between fat free milk and unsweetened almond milk. I only use milk for cooking and smoothies, so I'm not all that fussed about it.

    You could have a 'tasting party' sometime--you and some friends each bring a different type of milk (or go to the store, pick out a selection, and then divide the cost evenly), then go home and try each. Taste them at room temperature and then again cold. Put out some fruits and healthy crackers for a snack, and write down what you each think of the different milks. :)

    I know I've done this with other foods--sometimes you want to try something but it's a lot on your own. And what if you don't like a product? But with a larger group to chip in, you have a better chance of SOMEONE liking something. :) If you have leftovers, send them home with everyone. And then you'll know in the future what milk to buy! :D

    Coconut milk tastes the best in my opinion. Trader Joe's has an awesome one, if you have one near you!

    I've seen a few people like it, I tried it and found it awful.

    I LOVE vanilla unsweetened almond milk. I first tried it when I became diabetic and didn't want to "pay" carbs for regular milk. I've been a big non-fat/1% milk drinker my whole life, so I was surprised how much I liked it, and that I really didn't miss the regular milk at all! I love it in my smoothies and on cereal.

    I've never been a fan of soy milk---it has a funny, off taste to me, and also added sugar. Rice milk tastes okay, but again, sugar added, which is an obvious no for me.

    I have one question for long-time almond milk drinkers---what does it taste like heated? Since switching off milk over a year ago, it now seems I've become a little lactose intolerant, which I notice whenever I have the occasional latte. Just wondering if anyone has tried almond milk in a latte or such? Thanks! :)

    I like milk (whole, raw, from the farm... YUM), or coconut milk. I usually buy the coconut milk to cook Thai food (my husband LOVES it and we live in a small town with no Thai restaurants) but use what is left on cereal or in my coffee. As a bonus, the coconut milk I normally buy is fortified with a lot of calcium and vitamin D... (Coconut dream unsweetened with added A &D)

    Almond milk. I get the 40 calorie per serving Almond milk and use it with my protein powder in the morning for breakfast! Yummy. Also tastes amazing with oatmeal!!!:drinker:
