I use skim milk only for protein shakes cause it's easier to mix and there's more protein and vitamins.

Whole or 2percent milk for everything else

Almond milk has slightly less protein than cow milk and soymilk.

But chocolate almond milk tastes sooooo much better :noah: so I say fukk the protein and drink it if you like it

Coconut milk is better but almond milk is healthy a well
And both are much better choices than dairy milk. Also whole milk is better than fat free and skim milk. Stay away from anything soy and too much estrogen is bad for females and will make you hold fat as well.

I didn't even know coconut milk existed, good look breh. I'ma cop some tomorrow, is the chocolate almond milk any better? the vanilla one is sweet as fukk, i get tired of it halfway through the cup. I love milk but i'm constantly on the toilet :sadbron:ing afterwards.

coconut milk is too heavy for me to drink straight up...being carib we only use that to cook.
almond milk or soy milk is what i use. i prefer the new Silk almond milk over Blue Diamond...but both are good.

Really? Silk seems almost watered down to me for some reason.

Damn at all of those ingredients

yeah i've heard about that cookie butter before. as long as there's no "wheat" in it i'm good to go. and we're supposed to be getting a trader joes here(for the last 2 years now) ...don't know why they're taking forever with it. :(

*edit ....just read the ingredients....it has wheat. no can do lol

Chocolate almond milk just has a bit more sugar but is fine to take after a workout since you need a 2-1 ratio of carbs to protien after a workout. I use the coconut milk for my post workout shake and it tastes great to me
