Tried Almond Milk for 1st Time

[Guest guest]

I

've been super duper busy this week and have not been able to get to the super

market and pick up my usual skim milk while the gas station only had whole milk,

which is too much butter fat for my stomach.  I had some almond milk in the

fridge from the last time I went shopping.  Almond milk as a much long shelf

life than cow's milk, 1 up for almond milk.  I bought plain almond milk because

my experiences with flavored soy milk was too sweet.  I DO NOT like the after

taste of almond milk, which could totally be my Topamax that I take for my

fibromyalgia, which alters the taste buds, for me sweetness is heightened.  I

also can't drink soda any more, bummer because I love ginger ale.  I will try

the vanilla almond milk when I go tomorrow to the grocery store and pharmacy

because I can't live another day without my milk.  I am surprised that I have

lived this week.  If it wasn't for tap water I don't know what I would have

drank.  I will also try

making my current plain almond milk into chocolate. What isn't improved by the

addition of chocolate?  I like my chocloate dark, so at least the meds haven't

screwed that up!  The almond milk was to accompany my supper of apple pancakes,

but alais I had to drink water.  There is something about pancakes and a big

glass of ice cold milk.  I miss my milk!!!  Jonesing is more like it...

Unsweeted Chocolate almond milk is my fave, as far as almond milk goes.

I use unsweetened plain almond milk, I prefer it over rice or soy milk

(especially over soy). It took a while to get used to it, but after using it

on cereal for a while, I will now even drink a small glass of it with

cookies or something chocolate-y. Chocolate almond milk is good, too.

I can see where it would take a while to get used to.  I'll try it on cereal and

see how that goes and in my oatmeal as well.  I like the adding chocolate to it,

but the biggest success was cooking my alfredo with it.  I'm going to experiment

with it more.  I agree with the soy milk.  I can't drink it in any form.  My

sister and BIL like it in the chocolate form.

It is good in oatmeal, the nutty flavor is great! I make oatmeal with almond

milk and a few dried cranberries thrown in it while it cooks. The

cranberries reconstitute, so good...

My youngest daughter has been drinking soy since she quit nursing because up

until a year or so ago it was all we could get here. I despise the stuff and

can't hardly get past the smell. She didn't like the almond milk we tried and we

haven't tried anything else but that coconut milk looks interesting and I can't

wait till we move so hopefully we can try it. I used to love milk but it just

makes me sick anymore.

I love adding the cranberries while it cooks all the time, then add a touch of

brown sugar, pecans, and crunchie granola for a texture contrast, yummy!!!  I

don't add but a touch of dark brown sugar or molassas for the flavor because the

cranberries sweeten it so much while it cookes and they are so wonderful and

plump when it is all done.  I'll defenantly add the almond milk to it when I

have some for supper tomorrow night.  I have oatmeal for supper more than I have

it for breakfast.  I perfer a light supper than a heavy one.  When I do cook

supper, I'll mainly do it for lunch through out the week than anything.  I just

got a real late start today with mending clothes and the time change and all.

I love almond milk in cereal or oatmeal (I like the vanilla). Have you tried

rice milk? I don't like cow's milk, in fact I try to limit dairy (except cheese

is hard for me to give up).

Almond Breeze does have a chocolate version, which is delish! I was very

much a milk drinker before I became vegan the first of this year. Milk was

my biggest " fear " of missing. I don't like soy milk. I have used rice milk

on my cereal, but it is super sweet. I adore Almond Breeze - vanilla for

drinking and my morning oatmeal, chocolate for an afternoon snack, and plain

for my cereal. Out Target did start carrying the Silk's version of almond

milk and it'll do for me, but I like Almond Breeze best.
