the fuck OP!? mad fucks all round

 

[Drazgul]

Made me think of this:

You just have to milk those tiny almond nipples.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Hey, no one is saying you have to drink milk, but people that aren't lactose intolerant and enjoy it have the opportunity to do so, I rather enjoy milk and milk products. Most humans don't have the mutated gene that allows them to drink milk but pointing that out just shows that you think we should all only do what's natural, which is fine but don't try to push your beliefs on others, it's unbecoming.

LOL, all I said was I'll never understand how plant-based foods can be considered more disgusting than animal-based ones. If that makes you feel like I'm pushing my beliefs on you then you are hyper-sensitive and might want to examine why that is.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Oh darn. I guess this thing I thought I liked doesn't actually exist. Thanks everyone pointing out that almond milk isn't produced in a mammalian gland.

Do you guys show up in all the fast food threads to point out that hamburgers aren't all made in Hamburg?

 

[Zhengi]

I like almond milk in my cereal and with whey protein shakes.

Uhmm, they are called hamburgers because they have a slice of ham or other deli meat. The ones that don't are just called burgers. Therefore almond milk does not exist.

 

[Josh7289]

Get out of here. Almond milk is superior to cow milk.

Hopes not serious.

You're going to go purely by the OP and nothing else? Not the many posters in this thread that have said almond milk is great?

If you always let one person dissuade you then you'd never do anything at all and you'd have no sense of life.

It's not like you haven't bought the stuff. It's available because your GF already bought it. Taking a sip isn't going to kill you. For all you know the OP could be entirely off base.

And to be honest the whole "cold cum" thing is way off base. I understand how the "texture" and "smoothness" of it isn't the exact same as other drinks and regular milk but it's not some slimey, gooey, immediately off-putting liquid either.

There have also been a lot of posts in this thread sharing positive opinions. There's basically no downside to at least trying it, unless you think you'll be permanently scarred from drinking a small amount of something you find unpalatable.

You guys are right. I pretty much read the OP and a couple more posts that agreed with the guys and I posted my thoughts. I'll try a bit tonight. Thanks!

I use the vanilla kind for protein shakes. Not a lot of calories, it lasts a very long time in the fridge, and it's way better than water. (for protein shakes obviously)

 

[White Man]

I tried this stuff for the first time today, and jesus christ this shit is vile. First of all, the way it looks is just gross. It looks like cold cum. Cold fucking cum. That's really the only way I can describe it. I then ( reluctantly ) took a sip, and it's a lukewarm slightly slimy liquid with little to no taste. It tasted so fucking disgusting even though it didn't really have a taste to it. I'm seriously considering dumping this shit.

Hahaha, you'd never be able to handle Soylent.

 

[irfaanator]

I had almond milk maybe a month ago. First time having it. Got the vanilla flavored one and used it with cereal. It definitely tasted different, but wasn't such a large step for me from regular milk. I would say it was alright, but since I'm so used to regular milk I don't think it tasted better

1 cup of almond milk: <1 grams of fiber
A mere 10 almonds: 1.44 grams of fiber

Almond Milk is indeed gross. Have fun drinking your chemically manufactured salt water concoction.

Well that was pointless. There isn't a single thing you have done to illustrate that "almond milk is indeed gross"

 

[Horseticuffs]

Hey, now. Nothing goes better over cheerios than 10 raw-ass almonds.

 

[Dragon]

Almond Milk is awesome. I get the unsweetened kind and put it in my Trader Joe's O's and it's delicious. You're a caveman OP!!

 

[chaostrophy]

The unsweetened chocolate almond milk from Blue Diamond is my favorite- it has that pleasantly bitter/creamy flavor of dark chocolate, and it's really refreshing at the same time.

 

[J-Rod]

It's better than soy milk. That tastes like raw bean juice, which I guess is what it is.

 

[BlueBadger]

I love almond milk ;__;.

 

[leakey]

Had almond milk in my Cheerios this morning. With almonds, strawberries, and blueberries on top.

 

[NotBacon]

THIS

 

[BPoole]

I love almond and coconut milk. It tastes better than regular milk and has less calories

 

[Syf]

Almond milk is amazing. If only I could get it in those 4L jugs.

 

[Peagles]

I usually make my own almond flour for baking but I think I'll try make almond milk next time and just keep the meal aside for baking.

I have tried the bought stuff, it was fine. We don't get the flavoured stuff here though so I'll have to make my own if I want chocolate almond milk. I'm not a huge milk fan (dairy or otherwise) but I've started drinking coffee so getting more into it.

I tried all these alt milks maybe 10 years ago when I started babysitting for this family whose daughter had severe allergies. I didn't mind unsweetened almond milk or soy milk but the rice milk was way too sweet for me; maybe it was the sweetened version though, the kids loved it. Oat milk was nice too but recently I tried one flavoured with cinnamon and it must have been off cos it was fizzy and tasted terrible. Bleeh.

 

[Mimir]

Almond milk is pretty awesome. I typically make it unsweetened, sometimes with a bit of vanilla. Sweetened with dates or maple syrup is also delicious.

I just need to find some non-dessert recipes that use almond pulp.

I haven't made almond milk before, so it depends if the meal you get out of that is dry or not, but I've used mine mixed with spices to coat chicken pieces before and it was delicious. Store it in the freezer if you aren't going to use it that day though.

 

[NastyBook]

Wait what, does almond milk make you magically lactose tolerant?

Yes.

Spoiler

It's Dairy Free

It's not, but you can bake it a bit a while to dry it out. I'll have to try coating some tempeh with it.

Making almond milk is really easy, though you'll need to use it all within a few days since it doesn't have any preservatives.

 

[DarthWoo]

My sister apparently only has almond milk in her house. Whenever my nephews come to visit they seem to drink all the real milk in the house.

If you really squeeze it out it might be okay. It would probably dry a little in the freezer anyway. A little moisture in mine helped it to absorb the spices. I'm not a vegetarian but I'd like to try tempeh sometime.

It's funny you say that, cos our store bought almond milk here says you have to use it within 3 days of opening, yet I see people in this thread saying it lasts an age particularly compared to dairy milk. Maybe ours doesn't have preservatives or something.

It's actually the main reason I don't buy it. I'd never go through a litre in 3 days. I wouldn't know what to do with off almond milk either. At least with dairy milk that's on the turn I can make soda bread.

there is no lactose in almond milk. Its not milk.

 

[NateDog]

Chocolate almond milk > Almond milk > Coconut milk

All good. Coconut milk can get overpowering though. With milkshakes or cereal coconut milk can taste great.

Coconut milk and cereal? How did I never think of this before...

 

[RiZ III]

Chocolate almond milk is awesome.

 

[Seanspeed]

Hey, now. Nothing goes better over cheerios than 10 raw-ass almonds.

Hahahaha

 

[Not]

Yup. And so is coconut water

 

[Alligatorjandro]

When did they make chocolate almonds

 

[neoism]

2% for life.

 

[Seanspeed]

When did they make chocolate almonds

About 10 years after the strawberry cow was invented.

 

[Peagles]

When did they make chocolate almonds

You've never had almonds and chocolate together? You're missing out.

Google scorched almonds *drools*

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

You assume I actually give a shit. It's not meant to be a review, just my thinking.

The milk was cold, yet it had a lukewarm feeling to it. Kind of like coconut milk. Or juice. Whatever.

Yeah, almond milk can't get 'ice cold' refreshing as cow's milk. Turn that fridge down. It's the thickness.

 

[Kuroyume]

Silk Brand Almond Milk is only good in the chocolate flavor

Blue Diamond Almond Breeze has a good vanilla flavor

Silk Brand Almond Milk has an awful vanilla flavor

Blue Diamond Almond Breeze has an awful chocolate flavor

 

[narcosis219]

Y'all missin out

and the king of all cold cum

How dare you. Your opinion offends me!

 

[D-Pad]

Soy milk drinker here. Tried to switch to almond milk a couple weeks ago. Yuck. Doesn't help that I absolutely HATE almonds. So thick and almondy, gross.

So then I tried coconut milk... It's okay... But it's not neutral enough to drink all the time. Overpowers everything it's paired with.

Then tried rice milk... No. It's sweetened rice water. And I don't put water in my cereal.

Alas, I switched back to soy. It was fun experimenting though.

 

[Samara]

Almond milk is the love of my life. Only thing I can't use it for is coffee. Also, this stuff:


This is some good stuff.



This is probably the best use for a non-dairy milk. You should at least try it. Get one of those smaller shelf-stable cartons (but chill it first).

these that you buy non refrigerated taste weird.I tried it,and I cant continue drinking it. And I love Silk. But do not buy warm.! Come to think of it, havent drank milk in maybe a month

 

[Megalosaro]

My roommate bought vanilla almond milk. Holy shit it's delcious. 90 calories a serving though ;_;

Did the vanilla rice milk for awhile and god all mighty, did I put on some weight. Vanilla almond, though...

[ThaiGrocer]

Sugar-free almond milk is where it's at. Come at me.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Sugar-free almond milk is where it's at. Come at me.

It's the best when my wife soaks some raw almonds in water, then blasts with the blender. So good in a smoothie.

 

[Man God]

I'm so glad all these things became popular and basically replaced soy milk. That stuff is vile. Used to work at a coffee shop and the lingering smell of hot frothed soy milk would haunt my nightmares for years afterwards.

Almond, Coconut, doesn't matter. Down with Soy Milk.
