I personally can only drink skim. 1/2% makes me feel sick to my stomach, and i can't stand soy. But that's just me...so yeah.
My favorite has to be chocolate soy milk. I also drink 2%. But I do admit to using real half and half in my coffee. A slight indulgence since I don't have it very often.
If you are worried about getting too much sugar from Silk Vanilla there is a light Silk Vanilla that I think is equally as yummy
I drink Hemp Milk, made from Hemp Seeds - it is really good stuff. Very good for you. I find it at Whole Foods.

Skim; I've had it for so long anything else is too rich, oddly enough.

I drink 2% because that is what my daughter drinks, I like 1% better though.
I drink soymilk.  Occasionally 2% or almond milk.  I love vanilla Silk the most though!

2%, skim is prettymuch colored water, and the calorie difference isn't as big as some think(40 calories?). When I cook in volume for sauces I like to use unsweetened kikkoman soy milk, or condensed skim milk where cream is called for. I also use that in coffee instead of nondairy creamer.
I used to drink Rice Dream a while back, but SO does NOT taste like milk. Then, I went back to 2%, downgraded to 1%, now Lactose Free Skim. 1% feels like a treat to me, it tastes SO creamy. I think I am going to switch soon, but I am not sure whether I'll go the almond breeze route (which I haven't tasted yet), or the soymilk route.

I used to drink 2% every day of my life.. then my mom started buying 1%.. and a few months ago I switched to skim.  Tasted weird for a few days but now I'm completely used to it.  One day there wasn't any and I had to use 2% for my cereal.. tasted like cream on my Special K.. ick! lol

I drink Unsweetened almond milk, I was told by my nutritionist that there is alot of negative things coming out on soy, and she recommends staying away from it. Almond milk comes in chocolate, vanilla and unsweetened.

 

yum yum!

I drink whole milk despite all the stuff I've read about it being designed to fatten up baby cows and it being ridden with hormones and blood. But I don't drink it often :)

ditto!

Skim all the way!



2% or homo actually tastes weird to me now!
organic fatfree milk

I like soy milk, but it slows down metabolism and the bioavailibility of soy milk protein is inferior to that of milk.  I don't want to slow my metabolism during this phase of my weight loss program.  Plus I want to have the highest quality proteins at this stage.
I will likley drink more soy milk when I reach my ideal weight.
So when I have milk, I drink skim.

I always drink 2%. I've never tried 1%.

8th continent light original or vanilla for me!!!

I grew up on a dairy farm having WHOLE MILK straight from the tank my entire life,...so upon hearing of my change to skim milk, then SOY my dad wasn't so pleased :) haha------I can understand where he's coming from,...being that I DO actually believe 2% and whole(VIT.D) are great for you,....but I've opted for the soy

can anyone tell me about RICE or ALMOND MILK? Someone on here keeps mentioning unsweetened rice milk and I ALMOST bought it yesterday but-----welll...i dunnoo----seems ODD! ha ha
