Non Dairy “Milk”
We use almond milk. I don’t consume dairy. I also hope to minimize cholesterol consumption. It’s mostly just used to wet cereal.
I know there are other nondairy milks. What do you drink and why.

Almond Breeze brand original almond milk. Tastes much better to me than Silk brand or a couple others I've tried. 60 cal. per 8oz glass.
I've tried rice, soy, oat, and hemp seed milks, and didn't care for any of them. Almond Breeze makes(or made) a blend of almond and coconut milk which was also quite good, but I haven't seen it in years.

Califia unsweetened vanilla. I used to drink TJ and Almond Breeze but find them to be too artificial these days. But I'm not anti-dairy.... Cheese, butter and ice cream rock.

Yes they do!! Add sour cream and whipped cream to that. In middle and high school I used to drink about a gallon of 2% every day. Tapered off to maybe a half gallon a week soon after to control weight. Then it was only with cookies/cake/cereal, never a glass on it's own. Now, the only thing I use cow's milk for is to make ranch salad dressing. Oh, and buttermilk for biscuits.

Those thinking they save the planet by drinking almond milk are fooling themselves (and the world).
Oat seems to become the prevailing non-dairy substitute in Europe, however when I was looking at changing away from milk (for coffee only and sometimes bircher muesli, I quite liked tigernut milk.

Aside from woke milk or non-lactose milk, I'd like to know that aside from my usual 2% milk with my corn flakes, should I give Almond milk or other milk a shot... or something else? Also, what is, if any, the fat % in almond milk?

KS (COST) oat milk for my coffee. I consume much dairy so any chance to reduce is good. Oat milk surely has sugar because I no longer add a tsp of sugar to coffee like before.

But for "almond milk," California's water shortage wouldn't be nearly as short.
