Almond Milk

What are the benefits of Almond milk?

I am not lactose intolerant so I typically do NF Fair Life milk when I have milk (used to to regular NF but just recently switched).

I know there is more sugar in cow's milk from the lactose, but SO much more Protein I have always made that choice.

Other than being lower carb and good for lactose intolerance, what does almond milk offer? I am game go try it if there's a good reason!

For me, it's not so much the lower carb factor as it is the lower sugar. Not just because of trying to stick with my eating guidelines but because too much sugar makes me nauseated. Plus, I've always loved milk that is rich and creamy and almond or almond coconut blend really is.

I went with almond milk during liquid pre-op for my shakes because I found out I had a lactose sensitivity to regular milk. For me, that lactose sensitivity was the main reason I went with almond milk. I should have considered Lactaid too, mostly because it has more Protein than than almond milk.

I totally get those reasons, seems like regular milk wouldn't agree with either of you.

Anyone do it by choice for nutritional reasons? I thought I would try it and then saw it only had one gram of Protein per cup and honestly was quite surprised given its popularity here!
