Anybody use Almond Breeze?

I could have sworn someone did. I bought this and the coconut kind to try. The boys refuse to drink milk so I thought I'd try these for the calcium. So far, they like the coconut and I like both kinds in my coffee. What else can I do with this stuff? Do people have a glass of it like they would regular milk?

My aunt uses it on cereal.

Yeah you can drink a glass of it if you want.  I use it in cereal, or oatmeal.

yes, you can use it like normal milk. If you're cooking with it though, it does tend to taste different. You have to use lower heat or it gets a sort of burnt taste to it. I ended up just making my own because we weren't always using the entire container in 7 days. I could make smaller amounts that didn't go to waste.

Stupid question: is there a benefit to using it instead of milk?

i use Almond Milk, but i use the unsweetend kind. 

I use it on cereal, and in scrambled eggs.  I don't really cook with it too much b/c it does change the flavor a bit.

It is pretty good.

Ciahanna:

we switched to Silk because DH liked the taste better.

Seriously, Silk makes the best almond milk around. B refuses to drink any other brand worth a damn, but he chugs the Silk. 

It's our milk at home since we don't use dairy. We use it in everything (original for food, vanilla for baking). I think once you get used to it you don't notice any flavor difference. We don't really drink it just in a glass, but we never did with "real" milk either, but you certainly can if you like the flavor. The dark chocolate Silk almond milk DH drinks all the time by itself and can probably go through two cartons a week if I'd let him.

Really good in smoothies.  add some almond breeze, some frozen berries, bit if cinnamon and a banana.  It is so yummy!
