“Tesla explained. Two quarts of milk a day provide him with all the proteins and calories he needs to remain alive, he said. Although as a rule he does not retire until 5:30 o’clock every morning, he gets up about 10 A. M. and feels full of energy.”
(Nikola Tesla)
I drink almond milk just because I like the taste. But I eat more cheese than a surrender monkey. So...best of both worlds.
I support revoking the use of the word “milk” for such products.

I agree. It’s misleading or at least inaccurate.
Soy milk is probably the closest substitute for real milk but I’d rather have the real deal. Of course if one has a dairy allergy that’s a different story.
I drink ‘em for flavor. I like ‘em all depending on the circumstances. If I want the nutrition from Almonds, I grab some of the big bag I get from costco. If I want the nutrition from Oats, I microwave a bowl of steel cut oats with water and salt (and honey).
In coffee it’s always dairy.
Even in the Medieval period in England, there was “Almond Mylk”. /The Forme of Cury
It’s oat juice, soy juice, rice juice, almond juice, coconut juice, ect., ect.; none are MILK.
Milk is produced in the mammary glands of mammals, nowhere else.
You do not “milk” a sprig of oats or rice, or an almond, or a soybean, or a coconut. You squeeze or mash them or mix with water to extract a juice from them. That is juice, not milk.
Because it is “white” does not make it “milk”.
A benevolent dictator, wishing to see language not misused to confusion, would declare “milk” as only to be used with respect to products from the mammary glans of mammals, no where else. The others can be called “juice” of some sort, not “milk”.
But there's no such thing as oat milk...or almond milk.
I'll take cow's milk,thank you very much.
Are you insinuating that the soy plant doesn’t have a nipple?
Real milk is delicious. The substitutes all taste gross. Unless you have an allergy ignore the fakes. Oh and I consider skim and 2% and their ilk fakes. Yuck.
I’ve utterly amazed by almonds giving milk when they have no teats.
I agree, some of these alternatives are juices, or extracts. None are milk and should not be labeled as milk.
Heavy Cream (Whipping Cream) is my go to ... if I want /need Milk I add water
Good and Good for you

I’m with you, always drink whole real milk. Although there is one dairy whose milk I never buy. They let the cows graze in pastures with onions in them. Like onions, hate the hint of it in milk.
We have been drinking only A2 milk for a few years now. Before that we had our own dairy goats and goats milk is all A2. For many people the A1 protein (caused be a genetic mutation) is the problem.
I’m lactose intolerant. I just tried cashew milk in my coffee today and it was good. I warmed about 1/4 C of the cashew milk in the microwave before filling the rest of the cup with hot coffee.
PS I would be remiss not to post this hysterical video on milking almonds. Very well donehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJCTIPWPNtw
So, Nikola Tesla drank so much milk it made him crazy and bankrupted him?
Anything about hemp milk?
Can you smoke it?....................
