That was actually meant for the non-animal milk, but sure, I suppose you could fit that in with animal milk as well. :p The animals are what they eat/drink.

Love soya milk , the Asian / Chinese type . Usually sold with bean curd in stalls in Malaysia and Singapore , also Hong Kong .
Coconut milk that goes into cooking lots of Peranakan dishes to make them “ lemak “ , also curries & many other dishes ..

Enjoy almond and oat milk ( Oatly ) .. saw something else while looking for these this week .. “ BamNut M?LK “ , might try some next month . Has anyone tried ?

Love milk though especially full cream and cream , clotted cream , sour cream .. whatever ..

According to Capitalism is Freedom, it takes 1.1 gallons of water to produce a single almond, or about which would translate to about 460 gallons of water per pound of almonds. In turn, it takes about two pounds of almonds to make one gallon of Almond Milk, or 920 gallons of water.

But where does the water go afterwards? I’ve never encountered a juicy almond.

That's simply milk sugar or lactose. Kinda the energy fuel for young mammals. As well as humans who put milk into their coffee, tea, cereal, baked goods, etc.

Just a touch of photosynthesis for the almond tree to do its thing.

Back to the thread, I find almond milk and other non-dairy fluid milk substitutes too watery for my taste.

Im normally happy with unsweetened almond milk. But for my coffee, I prefer sweetened chocolate almond milk. It’s much thicker in appearance.

Yikes! No wonder you like it. It has added oil and 120 calories.:eek:

I think I'll just stick to my 2% milk for now.

I know. I posted that because some have speculated that they add sugar to oat milk because they no longer need to add sugar to coffee. However, 2% cow's milk has more "sugar" per serving.

Interesting... all brands?
Is this naturally occurring sugars, or added sugar, or both?

I've looked at a few brands and it looks like all are about that for sugars. They are naturally occurring sugars.
