I use almond milk in almost everything! I'm pretty much lactose intolerant so almond milk just works better. I tried the coconut milk but it's sweeter than of like it to be, sooooooo it doesn't taste like almond milk does. I've always bought almond milk and until this thread, I didn't know you could make it yourself!

Thanks so much for the info, the recipes and the thread! So cool!

We drink only almond milk...I don't like soy milk, and cooking with almond milk is yumbolicious!

Hey ya'll,

I am all about almond milk.

I have a bagillion allergies so I have to be super careful.

I also have arthritis and to assist in keeping inflammation to a minimum I try my very best to stay away from all in the nightshade group, salt and dairy.
It's hard, but helps.

I gave up regular milk, at first because a gallon would go rancid before I could finish it, and then because I was trying to lower fat and salt intake. After trying several brands and flavors of nutmilks I landed on Good Karma Unsweetened Flax Milk. (There are other flavors, but they have more calories and taste somewhat artificial to my palate.) It has long expiry date, too (this is a refrigerated product as I do not like the pantry on-shelf brands).

*love it*

Low-cal and yet packed w/ nutrients.

Downsides are that it is expensive and often out-of-stock -- have only found it at Whole Foods (in large a metro area... harder to find in smaller markets, but worth requesting, imho).

I use it in everything from cereal to soup and it works quite well.
