About six months ago I was experiencing was turned out to be stress-induced abdominal pain. In addition to cutting out stress (unlikely if not impossible), the doctor prescribed me some mild medication and recommended that I cut dairy and caffeine out of my diet. Although I gave it the old college try, I have found it almost impossible to cut caffeine out of my diet (although I have cut back to one caffeinated drink a day since I completed the juice cleanse).
Eliminating dairy, on the other hand, has proven much easier - particularly with the discovery of almond milk. The consistency, akin to that of heavy cream, takes some getting used to, but I find it a wonderful addition to my morning cereal -- especially granola. I do, however, have one main complaint with almond milk: because of the consistency it does not easily blend with chocolate sauce or powder to make chocolate milk.
That said, those who know how much I love a good chocolate milk with my breakfast can imagine how delighted I was to find individual servings of dark chocolate almond milk in the grocery store last week!
Score! It is delicious, and only 120 calories per 8 ounce serving. If you want to know more about the cow's milk v. almond milk comparison, you can find some helpful insights
