Almond Milk: Did I Like It?




I have been wanting to try almond milk for awhile since I have read so much info on it.  Every time I drink regular milk, I always feel droggy-like.  I'm guessing that I have problems digesting milk with lactose in it.  So, today I finally tried a commercial brand.  I tried Silk PureAlmond All Natural almondmilk (original).  If you are use to drinking regular milk, it will take an adjustment.  However, I must say that it did not taste bad. Actually, I kind of liked the almond taste and the smell of almonds.  I tried it in cereal as soon as I got it home.  I don't think that I precisely like it in cereal. However,  I did like it straight out of the glass.  It would probably be fantastic with cookies.  It seems a bit too thick for cereal and I am kind of use to seeing white milk on my cereal.  The almondmilk is not exactly white.  It is more of an off-white color.  If I can get past the color, I might be able to use it with cereal.

I know there are different brands, frankly I tried the Silk PureAlmond because I had a coupon and it was on sale at Food Lion.  I paid $1.84 for a half-gallon.  I have read great things about Blue Diamond Almond Breeze almondmilk.  I would have purchased it, but I went with the one on sale.  Since, this is a trial run on almondmilk, I didn't want to waste money if I didn't like it.  Next time I will purchase the Blue Diamond Almondmilk and see how it tastes.  I am definitely not giving up on the almondmilk.  I will definitely try different brands.  It is pretty good.

Have you tried almondmilk?  If so, how did it taste? Do you have a brand that you like better than others?
