I dont like the taste much either but I find that the taste disappears when put into things like baking, some desserts.

I pour it on my porridge and mix and I find it just disappears into the porridge but adding a milkiness. I think I might have added it to smoothies too. I have trouble drinking it straight though.

I do use almond meal quite a bit in cooking and I like that.

Almond milk doesn't taste nice.

Sure it does. It tastes just like any other type of water.

 

[Blobbenstein]

almond milk tastes like dairy milk, to me, so I agree.

For me, almond milk tastes weird on its own, but good with cereal or in baking. Soy milk is great any way it's done (unless it's that dreadful vanilla flavored crap), and rice milk is the same way (though it can be a pain on its own sometimes).

Almond milk is my favorite. Coconut milk is vile.

I like shelf-stable almond milks. I can't drink the refrigerated kinds at all. Vanilla rice milk is nice on its own. Coconut milk, unless it's the full fat stuff for cooking and stuff, is really just awful. I can use anything in cooking and have it turn out the way I want it, though.

Soy milk is my favourite. Awesome mouth feel. Soy milk 5ever.

Sadly I have a soy intolerance. I can have a certain amount of it but I start to get headaches/nausea if I have it on a regular basis. Such a shame. So I try not to drink soy milk so I can fulfil my monthly tofu allowance.

There is some vanilla soy sold here which is delicious though.

Coconut milk on its own is nasty. I can tolerate the fake ice cream made from it, though.

There is some vanilla soy sold here which is delicious though.

To me the vanilla soy milk always has tasted really weird and artificial and way too strong.

I love coconut milk in a curry. I have put it in smoothies too. I cant understand the dislike towards it, i love it.

Yes the vanilla soy milk I get sometimes has a good flavour. Almost a bit like caramel. I wish i had some now.

All the non-dairy milks are fine to me.

You can get cartons of hazelnut and almond milk here and it is much nicer than almond on it's own. It's snowy here again today and I thought it was perfect hot chocolate weather and it has to be the first time in years that I have forgotten to buy milk.

Same here. Although I've never tried hemp or hazelnut milks because they aren't widely available here. I don't like the thin watery consistency of rice milk, but if that were my only option I'd drink it. I love all the other ones.

 

[Lord Snot]

I prefer rice milk, it's the only one I can drink "neat". Soya milk is best for tea because you can't taste it, but I don't have enough tea to justify buying soya a lot of the time.

 

[Envy]

I liked rice milk because they would often be more watery and thus a bit more refreshing to drink than other milks.

I think it was a tad bit sweeter as well.

 

[FortyTwo]

Rice milk is sweeter, yes. I think the problem people have with coconut milk is that it's got this weird aftertaste, it's almost TOO sweet. That's my problem with it, anyway.

To be clear, I really like the coconut milk that comes in a can and is meant for cooking in curries, etc.

The coconut milk that comes in a big carton and is meant for drinking in a glass is one of the most disgusting things I've ever tasted.

I wish they were not called the same things, because they're clearly two different products.

Coconut milk, meaning coconut water, is the pure stuff that they actually get out of the coconut. "Coconut milk" is hideous.

 

[Envy]

"Coconut water" was (and probably still is) a big thing for athletes considering that they contain electrolytes and such.

And hipsters of course.

I know. But looking at the two products side by side, they both say "coconut milk" on them.
The "real" coconut milk, the full-fat stuff for cooking, is like heaven in a can.

I do like some coconut milk products, such as ice cream, and I use coconut milk-based creamer in my coffee as I prefer the taste over the soy-based creamer. But if someone gave me the drinking kind of "coconut milk" I would spit on them.

This is the one case where I wish plant milks (meant for drinking) were not allowed to use the word "milk." This stuff should be called "Slimy Disgusting Coconut Juice with Artificial Aftertaste" or something.
I also do not like coconut water, the thin stuff that comes in the juice-style containers. It's really gross.
