The thread on rice got me thinking about another alternative food product I use. I tried Almond Milk about two years ago and became a huge fan! I never drink moo juice anymore. Here are the advantages of Almond Milk:
- lower calories than real milk (40 cal. per cup for unsweetened and 60 cal. for sweetened - I drink unsweetened)
- unopened cartons do not need to be refrigerated and have shelf life of 6 months.
- less expensive than real milk (at Costco)
- equally nutritious (if not more so) than real milk.
Usually matapule breakfast consist of a smoothy:
1/2 c. uncooked oatmeal
1 tbs. wheat bran (or flax)
1 c. almond milk
1/2 c. whole fruit (like blueberries or pineapple)
1 c. ice
blend the mess til nice and creamy. Fills me up til lunchtime!
Matapule never drink coffee (sorry upchuck Starbuck). I think that it is the most vile "beverage" ever devised by mankind! (please start new thread if you want to extol the virtues of coffee)
