Cows, goat, soy, almond, and coconut milk have around the same carbohydrate levels, so there is not enough difference to make the effort to rework recipes etc.
Also coconut milk has more than 20% fat compared to milk having 1% to 5%.
A normal human body can use fats as efficiently as sugars, so total energy of coconut milk will be very high Approximate carbohydrate %, and kJ per 100 g of milk Skim Cow
..... 5%, 150 Full Cow ....... 7%, 260 Almond
........
4%, 275 Coconut
....... 5%, 880 Goat
.............
4%, 290 Human
......... 7%, 290 Soy .............. 6%, 190 Each country, recipe, and supplier will have different figures, these are standardised with Wolfram Alpha, a recognised accurate source, and a neutral source, as they are not involved in the food or dietary industry
In many countries, "standard" milk is homogenised half fat milk, so about half way between skim and full cow milk figures

Non-sweetened almond milk is probably what most people on low carb diets drink, when they drink it.
It has < 1g of carb per cup.
Personally, I completely stopped drinking milk because of carbs years ago
and I don't look back.
I only drink a little bit of half and half with coffee, and even though it still has carbs, it's so little that it makes little difference.

[Unsweetened Almond Milk] - 2g Carb in 1cup (240g), 1g from sugar and 1g from fiber and fiber should be subtracted from your carb count due to how your body processes it.
Because fiber doesn't absorb like other carbohydrates, don't count it in your overall intake of carbohydrate.
So this would be a NET of
1g Carb in 240g.
Considering TFD's Almond milk has 4% in 100g leads me to believe that almond milk is sweetened.

If you're on a low carb diet then the unsweetened almond milk is obviously the way to go.
For those of us looking to add our low carb protein powder to something other than water or regular cows milk, almond milk is a nice solution.
Stay low carb, maintain ketosis ;)

Unsweetened Soya alternative to milk has 0.2g per 100g.
Though I wish someone would come up with a way to separate the carbohydrate (sugar) out of cow's milk...

Carbmaster milk is milk that has been put through a filtration process which removes most of the sugar (the carbohydrate in milk is all a form of sugar).
It has one quarter the sugar of regular milk (3 g per cup) and is fat free.
I prefer some fat content, so I just add a little heavy cream (adds no sugar).
With this addition, Carbmaster tastes as good as any regular 2 percent milk I've ever had.
It is a product of the Kroger company, which sells it in its supermarkets, and also in a regional chain called Harris Teeter, found mainly in the Carolinas.
(Kroger stores are found in many states across the country).

What kinds of milk are low in carbs? I have heard about coconut milk but I'm not sure what's best.  PS: I am from India, maybe someone might want this info:-)

Cow, goat and coconut milk have similar carb levels, but non-sweetened almond milk or soya milk are better options. Carbs in milk are all forms of sugar, but Carbmaster milk has been put through a filtration process which removes most of this. Almond milk is considered the best replacement for milk if you are looking to cut carbohydrate intake. Other options include soy milk and Carbmaster milk.
here is little difference in the carbohydrate content of different milk and milk substitute beverages. Most people consider almond milk the best low-carbohydrate substitute for milk. Soy and Carbmaster are other options.
