slo’s THURSDAY poll - Almond Milk

[Kittyblue]

I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk for oatmeal and smoothies. In a pinch I’ll have it with cereal, but that’s about it. I prefer cow’s milk for anything else.

My DH can’t have dairy so we usually have either soy or almond milk either plain or vanilla.

How does one milk an almond? Do they have udders?

I don't drink it but sometimes I use it on cereal. There used to be a brand that had unsweetened with protein added so it was equal to skim cow's milk in protein but with less calories. I also cook with it when I'm on a diet kick.

I use unsweetened coconut almond milk to make oatmeal in my rice maker. For some reason the coconut almond milk makes the oatmeal creamier than skim milk. I don’t drink milk because it doesn’t agree with my stomach, but I do use cream in my coffee and eat cheese and yogurt. I’ve tried all sorts of dairy alternative coffee creamers, but have never liked the taste.

Unsweetened only. I love it...use it for my protein shakes.

I've tired it, eh. Just bought some Oat milk, it was okay, but had 120 calories versus 80 for the non-fat Fairlife filtered lactose free non-fat milk. Kind of cancels out any reason I would buy it.

Never tried it because I'm allergic to almonds and all tree nuts. If I wasn't allergic, I still wouldn't try it. Like a pp said, it's not milk because almonds can't be milked.

DW persuaded me to try it once. Once was more than enough.

Never saw the need as we have no allergies to dairy. I usually buy a 1/2 gallon of 2% and it lasts 2 weeks unless dh gets on a cereal/oatmeal kick. Mostly we use it in things, like mac & cheese or alfredo sauce.
