12. I now prefer almond milk to dairy on my cereal.

Specifically the brand produced by the national almond-growers-collective Blue Diamond...I think it's called "Almond Breeze" or something like that. Not strongly almondy, I do prefer the sweetened vanilla flavor for cereal...but you don't want that for savory uses like mashed potatoes. (One of my favorite quippy one-liners revolves around the number of dairy-substitutes it takes the average veg*n to replace plain milk. For me, it's 5.)

I really like the coconut too as it has the most dairy-like "fatty" mouthfeel...but it does taste like coconuts and that limits uses somewhat. I use it for baking or prepared foods that call for milk where a slight coco-note isn't going to be a problem. If I'm having a glass of "milk" it's probably coconut.

I can't stand soyfoods and ricemilk I don't see the point, if I wanted a watery whitish-translucent liquid that tastes like water I'd just dissolve lime in my water.
