I tried everything and hated it. I mixed it with decaf coffee. Now, I add Torani sugar free syrup, lactose free milk, sometimes a little half & half... Almost Starbucks.

I was using that Hood Calorie Countdown milk but after I learned about the nutritional benefit of Almond Milk, I have switched to the unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk.  It takes an adjustment; anything does when you change from what you're used to.  But, I have found that my face is more clear, my body doesn't get bloaty, etc. when I consume as little 'cow product' as I can.

I have lactose issues with regular milk, so I use lactaid milk.

Other than that- soy makes me have bad gas so I stay away.

Next choice would be cashew or almond.

My vote is for unsweetened almond or cashew milk (sometimes with protein powder for extra pizzaz)!

If you don't want to do dairy for some reason, my vote is with the unsweetened vanilla cashew milk... not as watery as others, so feels like you are drinking milk. I buy it at target. For Dairy milk, I have been using fairlife, lower carb and higher protein.

Just use the one you like.

I drank espresso with banana cream flavored isopure ( no carbs) and fat free powdered milk .

  I did try almond milk lite at one point and it made me lose rapidly .

  Being a semi-vegetarian I like the calcium I get from the powdered milk though it is a lot of extra calories.
