Benefits of rice or almond milk over non-fat milk.

I use non-fat milk every day in cereal but i've been thinking of
changing over to rice or almond milk due to the sugar in non-fat
milk. Non-fat milk has 12 grams per cup. How much does rice and
almond milk have per cup? Also, are rice and almond milk healthier
than non-fat?

Heavy Cream is the way to go.

Thanks for the advice. What do you suggest, about three gallons per
day? That should more than take care of my fat intake.

Rice milk is pretty much sugar water. Even compared to other non dairy
milks, it lacks in a lot of ways. Almond milk is slightly better, and
raw milk is yummy. So is home-made almond milk, which we drink when
the raw isn't available. Also keep in mind that these alternative are
really Almond Juice, Rice Juice or Soy Juice.

Goat is closest in composition to human milk, and it's easier to
digest and absorb the nutrients.
Best of my knowledge milk substitutes are not a nutritional , I
personally hate cow milk, probably because I have been slaughtering
them, however, I love their meat :-)

Recipe for almond milk:
http://chetday.com/soymilk.htm (this is where I got the recipe)

1 1/2 cups of raw almonds, soaked in water overnight
4 cups of filtered or spring water
3-5 dates (optional)

Blend 1 ½ cups of raw almonds that have been soaked overnight in 4
cups of water. Blend with dates if you like your milk with a hint of
sweetness. Strain once to remove almond granules. The result is a
delicious, creamy milk that is free of harmful vegetable oil,
concentrated sweeteners, and the problems associated with cow's milk
and soy. It can be stored safely for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

I'm not the OP, but I think almond milk tastes much better than either
soy or rice milk.

Personally, I try to avoid consuming too much dairy (which is not really
a problem for me since I've never been a milk drinker anyhow). I just
don't like the way it makes me feel. Nut milks are a great alternative.

To the OP: if you want to know how much sugar is in rice or almond milk,
go to the store and read the packages. Different brands are going to
contain different amounts.

On cereal? Are you high?

He/she's just pulling your leg. I'm sure he/she knows cream isn't good.
