I'm going to try to cut back on dairy to see if it helps with me fight off colds and improve my sinusitus/hayfever symptoms. I have used soy milk in the past, but with all the bad press, I want to try something else. I usually use milk in cereal and protein shakes. What do you ladies recommend?

I LOVE almond milk. I buy the unsweetened plain and it is very creamy. I use it in my protein shakes, in lieu of dairy for cooking, and just plain. I buy the Almond Breeze brand.
 
Another vote for almond milk. The sweetened vanilla is really yummy for the sake of saving a few cals. I usually drink the unsweetened variety.
 
I love almond milk. My daughter loves it too. She says it tastes like cookies. I was really impressed at the taste. Regular dairy upsets my stomach.
 
Another one here who loves Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk. I love all three kinds, plain, chocolate & vanilla . Yum
 
Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk and coconut milk.

Sometimes I mix a little of each one in my protein shake.

I really love So Delicious Coconut Milk on my cereal.

When I bake, I use soy milk because it curdles better with vinegar (to use as an egg replacer) than other milks.
 
I agree - coconut or almond milk. My only exception is my coffee - I won't drink soy so I'm still using cow's milk because it's the only one that holds up to the hot coffee and gives it the creaminess I'm looking for.

I baked some muffins with coconut milk and they turned out great. (out or Jillian Michael's new cookbook).
 
Another vote for Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk. I also like SoDelicious coconut milk and recently tried Hemp milk unsweetened which was also good. I usually buy whichever one is on sale. I too used regular milk in my tea--couldn't make the switch.
 
I love So Delicious coconut milk in smoothies. So Delicious coconut milk creamer is wonderful in coffee and chai tea.
 
Where do you find coconut milk? I bought a small can of coconut milk. Does it come in quart size? How much of it do you drink? Thanks.

Thanks everyone! I bought some of the Vanilla Almond Breeze today, but haven't given it a try just yet. The little health food store I went to didn't have the So Delicious coconut milk so I'll have to look around for it. We don't have Trader Joes here, but I think there is a larger health store in my town that I can check. It is in the refrigerator section next to soy milk, right?

The cans of coconut milk aren't the same thing as coconut milk produced as a beverage, like So Delicious Coconut Milk. Coconut milk in cans will be much creamier (and fattier!) and is great for making curries, soups etc. but is too rich to drink straight. I find the cartons of So Delicious Coconut Milk in the refrigerated section with other non-dairy milks, packaged in regular cardboard milk cartons.
 
I just tried the unsweetened vanilla almond milk (thanks ladies), and I am in LOVE!! I was really apprehensive about it but it tastes sooooooooo good!!! Glad I stocked up :)
