FabSwingers.com forum: What kind of Milk do you drink

By (user no longer on site) OP

Do you drink?

Regular cow milk (if so, which) or do you go for alternatives? (Goat anyone lol)

I stopped drinking cow milk for years and feel better for it, I now tend to either drink soya or oat milk. (Apparently they even make sweet pea milk lol)

I love the taste of both to be fair and always find cow to be way “heavier” tasting now x

I drink plant or nut milk

My favourite is unsweetened KOKO.. I have it in tea, poridge, just to drink on it's own etc

I really like roasted almond milk, but it's too un-environmentally friendly for me to consider buying

I'm about 50/50 cow (semi-skimmed), and oat milk. Though I am leaning more towards the oat milk, I really like it in coffee etc.

It's also a slightly better choice for the environment (less cow farts).

I actually found it a lot easier to digest in my stomach than regular milk, I was super skeptical at first when I got told then I gave it a go and have to admit it is much better ..

Now I can’t drink cow milk at all.

I love normal (filtered Cravendale Bob or own brand) milk in tea - sorry nothing else will do in a good cup of tea.)

For protein shakes = coconut/ almond gives that exotic flavour

For coffee = almond milk (at only 13 kcals per 100 ml it makes sense)

The bulk of my milk consumption probably comes from plant milks, for flavour, health and environmental reasons.

I like milk, so I still drink it. But a statement in the film 'Food inc.' did make me question whether I should; it was along the lines of "why would you drink something that is designed to make something grow (quickly) to a huge size?".

Couldn't find the quote directly, but did find this https://www.thedailymeal.com/why-you-should-stop-drinking-milk-right-now/013014%3famp ...and now I'm questioning it again!!

Agreed about shakes and smoothies! I use almond for mine.

I tried to like coconut but I find it wayyy too water

Any particular good brands u recommend? The alpro one is not a good one in my opinion for coconut

I had to go dairy free for a few years due to my kids being allergic to proteins in cow's milk. The amount of products that have milk in them is shocking.

I dislike soya tasted wrong to me. Some of the diary alternatives are just wrong for the environment. I've kept oat milk for my porridge and everything else is cow's milk. My preference is from the vending machine from the farm up the road. Can see the cows in the field.
