Almond Milk

[Guest guest]

I love Almond Breeze Almond Milk. I recently saw Silk brand Almond Milk and

bought some. I don't like it nearly as well, but maybe that is just my taste

buds, however I do LOVE Silk brand Soy Milk.

I keep getting coupons for Silk almond milk on my grocery receipts - I

like it fine, though I prefer original over vanilla. With the coupon,

it is cheaper than Almond Breeze, which is my favorite brand.

I love the Almond breeze vanilla on cereal...haven't tried the Silk almond milk

yet (I, too, like their soy milks).

How are the non-milks like almond and such on carbs? Since pancreatitis my

hypoglycemia has been on a hair trigger and it doesn't take much in the way of

carbs (even 2 biscuits of Shredded Wheat) to put me into rebound hypoglycemia. I

can eat the shredded wheat (the one with just wheat, no sugar) plain but

sometimes it would be nice in a bowl with milk. Sigh. I wasn't keen on the soy

milk stuff.

You're in luck. :^) I just bought six half gallons of Almond Breeze last

night, 2 of each of the varieties I list below. The vanilla unsweetened is

2 grams total carbs per 8 ounce glass. This is the one I will drink

straight or on my cereal. Delish! It has 40 calories per glass.

 

The sweetened vanilla, obviously, has more carbs at 16 (90 calories) and the

chocolate the most at 22 (120 calories). Almond Breeze does also have

another option, which is " original " that I did not buy. It is 60 calories,

but I don't know the carb count.

 

Hope this helps.

Ginger, that is perfect, thank you! I can handle 2 carbs without going into

rebound hypoglycemia. (It went down to 23 in the hospital - rather shocked

everyone, lol) I can't wait to go get some at the store in a little bit. Hot

diggity, cold cereal with milk again! Well, sort of milk, lol.

But so much BETTER than (cow's) milk (IMHO)!

Jeanne:

 

You can get the almond milks in the sweetened or unsweetened varieties, in

both vanilla and chocolate.

If it tastes like banana pudding, Carl will drink the entire thing in one

go. That man love banana pudding. Most of the time he just gets a banana and

a box of vanilla wafers and eats a bite of banana then a cookie, then

banana.

 

I'm not wild about sicky sweet, so I bet the plain stuff would be good. I

wonder if there is a strawberry flavor soy milk. I might even drink that. I

found a milk maker for nuts and soy beans, so if I like this and can find

a way to make soy milk that I'll drink, it would be a good investment. (Not

as good as my Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator, though! I love that thing.)

 

Thanks for the input! Wasting food makes me go bonkers so I'd end up

drinking it just so I wouldn't waste it, lol.

Jeanne I just bought some almond milk (vanilla ) and it was too sweet

for me..

It tasted like banana pudding.

Had 15 carbs, and 16 sugars in it.

I do enjoy the soy milk ( plain kind) only.

Almond Breeze original unsweetened is my favorite. Not too sweet, so I can

cook with it, too.

This is great! We get milk from a friends with a farm but there comes a time

when the cows need a break so now there's an alternative for us.

 

I told Carl (husband person) about it and he said we'd have to just finish off

the last of the milk from Bess (cow), so he got a huge bowl of cereal. All I had

to do was tell him there was chocolate and vanilla, lol!!!

I bought a SoyQuick Premier milk maker which I use for making almond/hazel

nut milk. It tastes great and it works out much cheaper than buying almond

milk, which is very expensive over here in the UK. I don't bother adding any

sweeteners or other flavours to it, although that would be an option.
