Almond Milk in Coffee

   I have made a switch recently. Actually, I have made a similar one before but decided to take it a step further. A few summers ago, I stopped eating meat and dairy that had hormones and antibiotics in it. I also began eating whole foods and reduced the amount of items that I ate that had preservatives in them. I dropped 8 pounds in two weeks! And, I felt great! So why almond milk? Why not non-dairy creamer? Once again preservatives, plus non-dairy creamer reminds me of a Organic Chem Lab experiment. So, I have the two milks side by side this morning, two percent and almond, and this is what I see.

                               2%               Almond 

           Calories       130                   35

           Sat. Fat           3                   2.5

         Cholesterol    200                    0

           Sugars           12                    0

           Calcium         30                   45

           

Plus, Almond Milk has 50% Vitamin E, 25% Riboflavin, 50% B12, 4% Magnesium and Manganese, 10% Zinc, and 2% Copper. Very important elements for people who suffer from mild fibromyalgia. The only areas that Almond Milk falls short on is protein and potassium. Which are readily available in other sources of food. So far, it is a delightful switch for me.
