Cow milk. Soy milk. Almond milk. Coconut milk.

Organic milk or not?

Brands?

Whole. 2% 1% skim?


Is anyone else as confused as I am? I just want it for coffeee and cereal and cooking.


Help!

Well...here is my 2 cents

I am allergic to tree nuts, so Almond milk is out

Soy milk is gross (IMO)

and never had Coconut milk.

For coffee I use fat free 1/2 and 1/2 or sugar free coffeemate
Tea I use milk 1%
and for cereal (when I ate it) I used milk (since I do not drink the cereal milk anyway ew)

AND, I do not "drink" milk. It makes my tummy upset and um ew.

Cooking, I use milk or the 1/2 and 1/2 or cream, depending on what the recipe calls for.

Oh and I go for the Organic. But I tend to go for the Organic whenever I can anyway.

One of the top 5 staples I buy is unsweetened almond milk. I use it in my coffee and/or oatmeal every day and love it because not only does it taste great, but it only has 40 calories per cup. I like soymilk too, but not as much as almond milk and since it has more calories I opt for the almond milk. I've also had rice milk, but I personally don't really think it tastes like anything. I haven't tried some of the more exotic milks like hemp, oat, etc.

I use skim milk once in a while if I'm at someone's house or traveling or something and I don't have access to almond milk, but cow's milk tends to make me a little congested and bogs me down. I never noticed this when I drank it all the time, but now that I use it sparingly I do notice the difference.

I also buy the unsweetened chocolate almond milk when I can find it (to just drink), but usually they only have the regular chocolate kind in the store and the calorie difference between the two is pretty big.

Honestly, I'm not a milk fan, not in any format. Something about it... the look or something of it kind of grosses me out. I don't know what it is about it. If its mixed in with a smoothie thats fine, but other than that I'm not a fan.

Dexter (my roommie/best friend/ex-boyfriend) however, LOVES milk, and drinks soymilk regularly, and really likes almond milk.

Have been a daily milk drinker all my life... used to drink a half a gallon a day in the summer whan I was a teen. Probably between a pint and a quart a day now.

I go mostly 2%. Whole milk tastes a little heavy to me, but it's my next choice. 1% is tolerable. Don't like skim, it's too watery.

If I have a large portion of ice cream (which I have not for two months now ) then I'll chase it with some plain milk. Ice cream is a bit salty and it makes me thirsty...

Yes, milk is slightly congestive (can sense it in my voice shortly after drinking it) but that's not bad on dry winter days.

I can skip breakfast and lunch, just drinking milk, if I want to.

I use light vanilla soymilk on my morning cereal.

I use fat free H & H at home in my coffee and tea

I use 2% or regular H & H at work in my coffee

I stopped drinking milk as a beverage years ago.

I buy whole, non-homogenized cows milk for my husband. It's also what I use to cook and if I eat any cereal.

hyland makes a skim plus that tastes just like 2% but only 80 cals.
