Almond Milk?

I love almond milk and I don't eat dairy so I'm not sure of the comparison of protein of almond milk versus dairy.  (I think almond milk is relatively low though) Our bodies do have some difficulty with dairy though so I can understand the recommendation. 

You can generally find it in the regular grocery store but places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's will have it as well.

I have been using "Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze" for a few years now--- of course, my reasons were not quite so noble as easier digestion.  It had fewer calories than milk, and I was trying to lose weight.     It doesn't taste too bad, though, and lacks the aftertaste that some soy milks have.

At any rate, I've read that Almond Breeze has moved their stuff from the regular grocery aisles to the refrigerated section, and that now the unsweetened version is unavailable.  It's too bad, because the regular almond milk is fairly high in fat and calories compared to skim milk.

Really? thats a shame.  There is something called Almond dream which is also unsweetened and 30 calories/cup.  Whole Foods has it as well as various 'natural' food stores.

I tried the "Raw Food Detox Diet" once for a couple months and the author suggested moving from milk to almond milk.  Her contention was that regular milk takes so long to digest whereas almond milk doesn't.

It was surprisingly extremely tasty.  It's basically just chopped almonds blended with water.  Then, you drain it through a sieve and the runny stuff is your "milk."

I'm not doing that diet anymore, but I still buy almond milk 'cause it's so good. 

Almond milk, soy milk, rice milk....  all are good substitutes for dairy.
