An acupuncturist I went to suggested this to me as a replacement for dairy when I told her I was having problems with allergies (inflammation). After making the switch, my allergies aren't any better so I guess my problem isn't dairy. However, I gotta say that the stuff tastes just as good as the nonfat milk I was drinking before. Not sure how they can make this shit outta almonds but it's cheaper than buying that hormone-free premium milk and tastes just as good.

You all should give it a try and save a few bucks at the store.
 


Ahh, that's so cute, your acupuncturist likes to dress up as an allergist and play doctor.

How do you milk an almond? I kid ... but does it have the same amount of calcium as regular milk?
 
It usually has more calcium than regular milk. I think it's added, not sure how much is naturally in almonds.

I drink it. Contrary to what someone above said it sucks ass in coffee unless you buy the almond creamer.

Btw, for those avoiding gluten, almond flour is a great substitute for regular flour.
 
Watch your Omega .ratios. Almond milk is very high in Omega-6. Most people eat far too much of that already, and not enough n-3.

Hormone-free premium milk from grass fed cows should be higher in Omega-3, so personally I'd stick with that.

Thanks for the heads-up. Didn't know about these ratios until I just did some research on the subject. I will say though that I take both Fish Oil and Flaxseed Oil so hopefully my levels should be good.
 
holy shit do NOT drink soy milk ever i dont care how good it tastes (im not saying it tastes good, but im sure some people think so) it's super estrogenic and will give you tits. so have fun with that.
 
I'm lactose intolerant so I drink almond milk. Soy Milk is bad for males since it can give you gyno.

Fucking lactose intolerance. Was yours from since you were little or did you gain it? I was a huge milk fanatic all the way up till I was 17; drank 2 big cups of milk every day of my life. Then one day a switch was flipped and my stomach fucking killed me, took a couple days to figure out wtf was going on.

Can't have any type of protein shake aside from 100% egg protein, not even the "lactose free" protein shakes; guess it's the fillers as well.
