Hi everyone,

I just got the new Prevention in the mail and they had an article about adult acne. I am almost 63 and still get the occasional pimple. In the article it talked about too much milk and the sugars in milk. I have a Protein Shake every morning with 8 oz of fat free Lactaid milk. I then investigated other milks and coconut milk has no sugar and only 45 calories. Has anyone used coconut milk in their shakes? I also looked at almond milk but it does have some sugar. Anyone use this?

Thank you for the advise. Maybe one day I will just have wrinkles and no more pimples. Which is worse?

I've used both coconut and almond milk and really like both with the shakes. I've mixed both with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor. They have different tastes from both each other and from regular milk, but I like them.

I really like almond milk and I actually prefer the taste of Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla to Silk unsweetened vanilla. A really good milk that can be more expensive is if you have a Kroger near you they have this newer carbmaster vanilla (make sure you get the vanilla if you like sweet) milk that is the most awesome stuff I have every had and it has 11 grams of Protein in 1-8 oz glass and it's low carb. It's so good in my Protein Shakes, but I have split it up between almond and the carbmaster milk so I don't overdo it on my protein numbers, I've been getting in 110 plus on protein each day and sure don't want any kidney stones. And the acne thing, I'm 35 and still get them, the doc just chucks it up to hormones, damn hormones :).

love Almond Milk .. never drank or used it in my life before being banded but it is really good with Protein powder... I blend it with some Protein Powder, chocolate, ice and it comes out smooth and creamy...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
