Review # 92: "Silk" Almond Milk

Milk has been on the yuck list since I was a pre-schooler. With enough chocolate (or espresso at my Grandmother's house) it was palatable, but as an adult, even chocolate could not mask the milkiness of milk. My stomach and taste buds prefer cream or half and half in my coffee.
Soy milk did not cut it in the taste or stomach tolerability either, so many cereal-less years passed by.
Enter "Silk" Almond milk products.

The review goes like this:

I first heard of this product from a then vegan daughter. I bought the unflavored lactose and dairy free almond milk and enjoyed my first bowl of cereal in years. After consuming boxes and boxes of Raisin Bran and Count Chocula, the two cereals I had missed the most, I soon tired of cereal. I then discovered that Silk also made the dark chocolate almond milk (pictured.) I am a fan. It is very chocolatey, tasty, and it heats up well for hot chocolate. In fact I just finished a mug full. The label makes promises of calcium - I will let you know my osteoporosis situation in about 30 years. Until then, I will be enjoying chocolate almond milk, and if I ever want cereal again, the unflavored will be back on the grocery list. 10.

Not lactose intolerant, but tried Silk Almond milk out of curiosity. Vanilla was ok, but I'm a big fan of the dark chocolate!
