The rise of alternative milks

Milk was always my favorite drink and I consumed 2+ gallons a week as well (full fat). Last year I decided to test out weaning myself off of it to see what if any impact it would have on my body. I tried every alternative on the market and my findings were:

1. unsweetened hemp milk has the best taste and consistency but is too low in protein to be a full substitute

2. Silk's Protein Nutmilk has the next best flavor and an acceptable consistency but with a better nutrition profile

After a couple of weeks, I stopped craving cow's milk. Still eating plenty of cheese and yogurt though.

Any impact on your body? I mostly switched because almond milk is lower calories and I used to drink a ton of milk so it seemed healthier. Now milk smells and tastes gross to me. But I've switched back and forth a few times, so I know that would go away if I went back.
