It has no carbs and no sugar. You only need a little to get satisfied. I use it on fruits. I drink my coffee black.
I never drink milk.
I do eat natural unflavored yogurt.

My son is a firm believer that sugar is evil (OK if in fruits) and carbs are very bad. mix them together and you have real problems.

He went from almost 300 lbs to to 180 lbs by watching his diet...and abstaining from from most carbs (allow yourself 20 a day) and eliminating sugar.

More fat but fewer carbs. I am not at all sure how it would be in cereal. Most cereals have a lot of added sugary carbs so I switched to rolled oats oatmeal. No milk needed and no reading every micrometer of the package to figure out what's in it.

and if the milk substitute is flavorful enough, the lack of sugar doesn't bother me, either. But I'm trying to eliminate unfermented milk products to see if that makes me feel better, so while I'm a big fan of heavy cream and agree that it's wonderful on cereal, it doesn't fit the non-dairy requirement.

It doesn't really taste like almond--certainly not like the almond extract flavor you are thinking of. Actually has a very mild, dairy-milk flavor. Not strong like soy, which I don't like in coffee or on cereal because it overpowers. I think it would be worth a try. I have used Silk and Almond Breeze brands.

I can't do soy either and don't like rice milk, esp. in coffee (a splash is OK in green tea), but I like almond milk.

Also hazelnut milk, but it does taste like hazelnuts.

and herbal teas (e.g. Celestial Seasonings' Sweet Coconut Thai Chai, which is made with rooibos).
I also like vanilla rice milk in iced coffee.
(Dunn Brothers, a local chain of coffee shops, sells a wonderful iced coffee extract in gallon jugs, and it's how I get my caffeine fix on hot days).

My omni family members adore it and we go through several gallons a week.

I use the unsweetened almond milk and it's consistency is comparable to skim milk and, like skim milk, it takes a bit of getting used to when you're used to something with more substance. I use it on cereal and in herbal teas since I cut out caffeine. If you don't mind a bit of sugar, there's the vanilla flavor.

If it turns out you don't like it, you can use it to slow cook steel cut oatmeal overnight. And if you don't like oatmeal, well . . . sorry, I got nuthin'. It's worth a try, though.

We get them all in the small boxes for 1.69 or so from Trader Joe. Love them...haven't looked back (at dairy!)

almond milk.....super easy to do and makes a very creamy milk.
1 cup almonds to 4 cups water....soak, blend, strain...
you can find instructions online.

There's only one brand of almond milk I can stand, I like one soy milk to drink and another for cooking, and apparently I'm not so picky on coconut flavored things. I liked the hemp milks that I tried but it turns out I'm allergic to hemp and uh... related products (and I live in Northern California, so that is seriously annoying and occasionally dangerous.)

Fortunately our co-op here does product tastings regularly and has a liberal return policy if I buy something I can't stand. It might be worth asking if there's anything analogous available to you.

I use almond milk or coconut milk in smoothies and cereals. Get unsweetened vanilla almond milk for cereal, and maybe your coffee.

It doesn't have the mouth-feel of milk, even skim, but you get used to that.

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.
