Did you know I don't drink milk- at all? I haven't drank milk in years because first I'm lactose intolerance and plus I don't like the taste of it. I get away of eating dairy products like yogurt without upsetting my stomach but if it's just drinking milk straight from the glass, off to the bathroom I go! (I know TMI!)
So what I've been using to substitute milk is either drinking rice milk or at times when rice milk is not available almond milk.
I got in on a bzzcampaign through BzzAgent to try out the new Silk® Protein+Fiber Almondmilk. BzzAgent provided me with 1 free coupon to purchase the almond milk in-store and as well as provided me with 3 $1.00 off coupons to buy some more later.

My Review
I chose to try out the vanilla flavored almond milk for my review. I poured myself a glass first to taste it before adding it to my morning oatmeal.The consistency of the almond milk is a bit too thick for my liking ( the reason why I don't buy almond milk often).
The flavor had a bit of an odd taste but the vanilla almond flavor over powered that. But the taste was too sweet. When I added the almond milk to my oatmeal it made my oatmeal way too sweet and thick. This almond milk I feel to me works best in smoothie drinks. I believe the original flavor would be less sweet and work better with my morning breakfast meals.
Silk® provides great recipes with their almond milk

Is Silk® Protein+Fiber Almondmilk Vanilla Worth a Try?
I believe that this almond milk works prefect for smoothies and desserts. Just way too sweet to drink and adding it to cereal. If you're not bothered by sweet drinks or it being thick, then you would like this.
Have you tried Silk® Protein+Fiber Almondmilk Vanilla before? If so, what are your thoughts about it?
