Infertility

What kind of milk do you drink?

I bought some almond milk this morning and just made a smoothie with it.....it is fantastic!  I was shocked how much I liked it.  Its free of dairy and soy...and only 60 calories for a whole cup.  Less carbs than even skim milk, too!  Crazy.

What kind of milk do you drink?

TTC since May 2009 - DOR (ovarian cancer) DE w RBA December 2011 - transferred one embryo 12/14 - three frosties Beta #1 - 129 (12/22) Beta #2 - ? (12/26)

Re: What kind of milk do you drink?

  • We get skim or 1%.  I'll have to try almond milk, it actually sounds kind of yummy!

    A guy I work with is a vegan and drinks only Rice milk.  I've thought about trying that too.

  • We drink skim, but now we might try almond!

    We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

  • unsweetened almond, I'm lactose sensitive.

  • 2% organic for cereal and such, I don't drink it by the glass.  I grew up w/skim but read that higher fat dairy products are good for fertility, so 2% it is. :)

  • I don't drink milk. I am not lactose intolerant but milk bothers my stomach however I can eat yogurt, cheese and ice cream. I also can't drink almond milk because I have a nut allergy. I've tried coconut milk but it's gross. I'm okay with not drinking any kind of milk.

  • Skim milk for us. DH prefers 1% but since I shop for it, we get non-fat.
