almost milk is lactose free so everyone can drink it

it is also free of soy so no more soy tummy aches

it LASTS LONGER than milk. Unopened it is good for over a month or two.

oh man and almond milk tastes so good!
it is creamy and soothing like milk, but not thick like whole milk and not thin like 1%

before almond milk I rarely included milk in my diet because i am lactose intolerance only to a lot of dairy (like a lot of cheese or more than a cup of milk)....
now I feel great and almond milk has made me comfortable with milk again

>>4246582
enjoy paying three times the price of even the nice organic milk asswipes

I like to put it into my coffee, and consume it with cornflakes when I run out of ordinary milk.

i like it because i don't like the american dairy industry and their historically vicious intolerance of any sort of milk substitute. there's also the 'real california milk' bs, i don't give a shit where the cow happened to lactate and it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of this ice cream or whatever

PLUS there are a lot of health benefits
>50% more calcuim
>get vitamins n shit like vitamin E
>no cholesterol

half gallon of almond milk = 3.00
gallon on milk = 3.00
almond milk is usually on sale buy one get one 50% off or ever for free
buy 2, save 1 unopened in the fridge
it lasts for 2 months
>not wasting money
>buying milk wastes money, i would not drink or use it

Doesn't even taste at all like real milk. Like, zero similarity. It tastes like watered down rehydrated powdered milk, with a bit of almond flour mixed in.

It's also really low in protein, one of the best parts of milk or soy milk.

Can't use it for baking or cooking, basically just cereal and I guess drinking if you're some kind of nazi war criminal who likes the taste of ghost cum.

it isn't cows milk and unlike regular milk this stuff is good for human consumption.

I have a housemate who lifts, he obsesses over milk, totally falls for their marketing. I asked him one thing that was good about milk other than vitamin D and calcium (admitting though there are some good macronutrients in it but the good doesn't make the bad parts about milk irreverent) and he couldn't name any.

>>buying milk wastes money, i would not drink or use it

Buying almond milk wastes money, I would not drink this tree semen.

>>4246596
Silk is akshully owned by Dean Foods which is one of the largest milk distributors in the U.S.
BUT for every gallon of almond or soy milk you buy that is one less gallon of dairy milk.

>>4246604
>It's also really low in protein, one of the best parts of milk or soy milk.


This. If almond milk had protein I'd drink it all the time, but since it doesn't, I don't see the point in it and would rather just eat almonds.

>>4246612
tree semen sounds amazing. In fact, I love maple syrup.

>>4246619

>>4246617
i usually don't buy the silk brand. blue diamond is an almond grower cooperative. in fact i prefer the coconut milk thing made by some company that only makes dairy substitutes.

>>4246621
That's tree blood you dipshit

>>4246582
how the fuck do you even milk an almond?

i'm calling bullshit

>>4246666
it's almonds grounded down into a dust/powder and then water is added

should be called almond water; i've never had it but it's probably shit

i tried it once. put some in my morning tea and the shit would not mix, floating particles everywhere. maybe it was a shit brand but i've stuck with soy ever since

>>4246588
I notice two different kinds, the small ones with a long expiration time unless opened, and larger containers in the refrigerated milk section with an expiration date similar to the opened stuff.

No clue what it's about.

Also, I love vanilla almond milk with cereal.

Almond Milk tastes like shit. I do not like that subtle bitter nutty taste at all.

What does rice milk taste like? More milkish than almond milk?

the only thing I used milk for was mac and cheese. I staring using silk vanilla a few months ago, I like the vanilla hit it adds.

>>4246690
Rice milk tastes like very subtly flavored water. I'm actually strangely rather fond of the stuff.

>>4246690
rice milk has quite a bit of sugar that seems to only manifest once it's heated. as such it's good with sweet or semi sweet things like malted milk powder

I like this stuff. Pretty cheap too.

>>4246709
b-b-but muh fluoride

>>4246709
that's fine, but you could realize that not everyone positively enjoys something that's tasteless at best and repellent at worst.

>>4246684
that is weird because the refrigerated section of mine has almond milk that has expiration dates set for months in advance
maybe your supermarket does not sell many and puts the almost expired ones next to the milk for funzies.

but i do see it both refrigerated and non, I think its the same and does not need to be kept cold unless it's opened

>>4246733
*How

>>4246727
>water
>tasteless
>repellant

I serious don't fucking understand you people. Who the flying fuck do you not like water? Were you just given juice and soda as a kid? How much do you weigh?

>>4246727
When did I say you had to drink water? I thought we were just expressing preferences for beverages.

>>4246727
Tasteless at best and repellent at worst?

Man, I kinda feel bad for you. The experience of drinking clean, unadulterated, slightly cooled water after running a mile or more on a hot, dry day is one of the most intensely pleasurable feelings a human can experience. I mean, it's up there with orgasm, pissing after holding it for a long time, and scratching poison ivy. But drink anything other than cool water and you won't get it. Anyways, even at more mundane times, water is still something that can be enjoyed.

>>4246733
>Were you just given juice and soda as a kid
did you have it beaten into you that water is the only beverage in existence except for sweet tasting drinks with energy content?

I've always been partial to Vanilla Rice Milk (Due to being lactose intollerent) and if you mix it with Malibu, coconut rum it tastes fucking amazing!

GUIZ
MILK

>>4246766
Milk is pretty disgusting when you think about, with all the shit they injector into the cow's, all the blood and pus because of the over milking, The pasteurizing (see left for the reason why it is) that removes all the nutrition, and so on

>>4246759
Seriously, how much do you weigh?

>>4246759
Uhm ... yeah.

Drinks were
a) sweet
b) water
c) milk
d) you can't have that

Did you grow up drinking unsweetened green tea and beer or something?

>>4246766
It's the milk of the gods.

This stuff is like drinking liquid nuts. Pure unadulterated almond.

>>4246803
Why don't they make any soy-free soy milk?

>>4246675
> i've never had it but it's probably shit
I don't know your tastes but from a comment like that I can assume they're shit.
That is no way to live life, unless of course you're talking about say, actual shit, then of course it would taste like shit and you wouldn't want to taste it.

>>4246594
Learn how to do math. Look at prices per quart. Almond milk is barely more expensive than decent milk. In my area it's actually cheaper now that farm subsidies expired.

>>4246803
>drinking liquid nuts

well unopened milk lasts at least 6 months

>recent convert to almond milk
>buy a new gallon the other day
>eat a boat of cereal, think nothing of it
>next day, grab almond milk from fridge, coconut milk
>FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

So... you can't cook with it? I was eyeing it in the store wondering what tapioca would be like with it. What about pancakes, can I make pancakes with it? Can I add it to coffee?

I stir it into my scrambled eggs every morning. Damn good way of making them creamy without jacking the calories through the roof IMO.

>>4249028
You can definitely cook with it. I've made pancakes with it before with no problem.

oooh! tasty,I was planning on making some tomorrow. I like regular milk too, but the almond milk is very versatile and I can make it when I run out of real milk.

>>4246582

I never had it but I'll probably try some.

I used to only drink regular milk, but my girlfriend has since converted me to soy and almond milk. I actually like it better, now.

>>4246637

THIS


i love all the milks

Nope.
Regular Milk > Unsweetened Soy > Almond Milk

My reason for this is that they sweeten the fuck out of every almond milk that is worth a single fuck. I have never in my FUCKING LIFE been able to find the unsweetened almond milk which OP has in his image. I've looked everywhere. I've asked places to stock unsweetened almond milk if they can. Been to all the local groceries, Whole Foods, Sprouts. NOTHING. It's like my white fucking whale. So as much as I would like to love almond milk, fucking can't. Not until unsweetened becomes popular enough to demand some shelf space.

>>4250939
:(
sorry to hear this unsweetened almond milk is all i ever buy.
I agree though i would never buy chocolate or vanilla or any flavoring besides unsweetened, it is far too sweet.
