Silk Cashew Milk Unsweetened

We finally found the new Silk Cashew Milk. I love it! Well, I love it with a little Splenda and cinnamon. It's okay without it, but a great treat for after dinner or a snack, and filling too. 25 calories for 1 cup and high in calcium. post-207041-1428107634065_thumb.jpgpost-207041-14281076839678_thumb.jpg

Does it taste anything like almond milk? I couldn't do the almond milk at all.

It's thicker and has a hint of cashew flavor, but not overpowering by any means. I have missed milk and this is great for me as a replacement.

I'm a mix it up kind of gal, so I always try new and different things. I have a Protein smoothie everyday and have used dairy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk and now cashew milk to mix in my smoothie. It does have a bit of a cashew flavor, but not bad. It's OK with my chocolate and vanilla protein, but I didn't like it with the strawberry. Of all the milks I've tried, unsweetened Hemp milk is the worst. I probably couldn't drink it plain, but the cashew I can.

The only problem with the non-dairy milks is that they all have carrageenan added to them. I found just one brand of coconut milk that doesn't add it. So although I do like variety, good old cows milk is my go-to choice because it doesn't have all the extra crap added to it.

I was not lactose intolerant pre surgery, but I am pretty sure I am now. Yesterday, I bought lactaid milk and used it in my baby oatmeal this morning and found no discomfort afterwards. I am only a couple weeks post op, so any advice on other milks for me try is much appreciated.

I was lactose intolerant after surgery, too. The funny thing is I could tolerate Greek yogurt but not milk. Fortunately the symptoms disappeared after about 4 months. During that time I stuck with Lactaid milk and Soy milk because the alternative almond milk, coconut milk, etc. have almost no protein. Now that I'm in maintenance and have no problems getting in all my protein, I have added in some of those other milks. BTW, I also couldn't tolerate plain water or artificial sweeteners postop, but that passed around the 4 month mark, too.
