What brands do you like?  I've always wanted to try it, and our store had some on sale this weekend so I bought some (Evolve brand).  It's really good, but much thicker than I was expecting it to be.  Are they all almost yogurt thick?

How do you consume it?  So far, I've drank some, mixed some with some orange juice to thin it a little (I liked it!) and mixed it with some milk in my steel cut oats. 

Just curious!  : )

Yeah, its pretty thick. I like the idea of mixing it in steel cut oats! Otherwise, I pretty much just take a glug now and then. Its one of those things I don't buy often.

I had been thinking I could just use it as a replacement for milk now and then to change things up when I eat them uncooked, and as a bonus it would be like strawberry flavored milk.  Not so much, but it was still delicious!

We drink a ton of the Lifeway ( I think that is what it is) in pomegranate and strawberry flavor.  We didn't really like blueberry.  It's thick but not quite as thick as yogurt, just a little thinner. 

We've only had it by the glass.  We'll have to try it some other ways.

My DH likes the cappuchino flavor and just chugs it. It smells like buttermilk to me, which he claimed it didn't taste like but then admitted he'd never had buttermilk. lol

I make my own with culture from www.cheesemaking.com and mostly use it for smoothies.

Fun!  I'll look into it someday when I have more time to investigate.  : )

Yes, they are all about that thick. My daughter drinks it in place of milk. The probiotics really help her immune system She drinks it as is and generally drinks two sippys a day of it. 

I buy the Lifeway brand but have also bought the Trader Joe's brand and just recently discovered the Organic Valley brand, although it's not so affordable for us right now ($6 a bottle, whereas Lifeway is always on sale at our store for less than $3).

Ew, really?  I normally call the brand Nasty Nancy's because everything I've bought I've hated.  I didn't think it was possible to mess up cottage cheese, for example, but their was salty.  :-p

Jeff is going to laugh if I decide to try buying it.  : )
