308/365 Almond Milk Joy

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Are you tired of regular milk? Are you lactose intolerant? Are you vegan or vegetarian but want something other than soy? Maybe you're just curious about almond milk.

I happen to love almond milk. Why? I love almonds and I love milk. In all seriousness, the taste is really good, almonds are great for you, and it's got less calories than even skim milk (especially if you get the Unsweetened variety, 35 calories/ 8 oz. serving) while still maintaining creaminess. It tastes great on my cereal and with my daily cookie. It's got fat in all the right places. By the way, the Original flavor almond milk is 60 cals/serving and dark chocolate is 120 cals/serving; skim milk is 90 calories/serving.

There's been controversy about having too much dairy or too much soy; almond milk is a way to change things up. The only downside to almond milk is that it's more expensive than regular milk but hey, sacrifice makes us stronger.

In health,

Lauren
