Almond Milk!

I have just discovered almond milk! I am a vegetarian who is trying to go vegan and since I have a soy allergy I didn't know what I would use to substitute cows milk. What does everyone else think of almond milk/what are your favourite brands and flavors??

Um not to be negative but almond milk has 1 gram of protein per serving so I don't understand the point of using it unless you are allergic to dairy or soy as a replacement for skim milk which clocks in at 9 grams for 90 cals or even light soymilk which has 6 grams of protein for 60 cals.

Many people are lactose intolerant or allergic to soy.  I am not lactose intolerant, but I dislike the taste of regular milk, so I drink soy or almond.  I still consume other dairy products such as yogurt, so I get plenty of calcium and protein.  But if I'm going to drink milk by itself, I go for almond or soy.  Personal preference. 

I think it's safe to say that everyone is probably "allergic" to soy...it's pretty much poison (especially to those who eat it as a protein substitute). I'm definitely not going back to soy milk...I try to avoid it in frozen and prepackaged food but sometimes it's so difficult to avoid because it's in EVERYTHING! If I do buy something with soy in it, I make sure it's the last or next to last ingredient. But yes, almond milk all the way!
