7. I gave almond milk a second chance, and I've actually come around to liking it.

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.
