Almond Milk: A Better Alternative?

Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said, 'I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em!'? -Calvin, from Bill Watterson's "Calvin and Hobbes"

Two months ago I had never heard of almond milk, but now it has become an everyday drink in my home. The only reason I had tried it was because I had a $1.50 off target coupon and a $0.75 off manufacturer coupon.  I'm not going to lie..the first time I tried it I thought it was way too nutty and I didn't think I'd be able to give up dairy milk, because I was raised on it.  Not long after I went vegetarian though I decided to give up all animal products and go strictly VEGAN.  My DS would get upset stomachs all the time after consuming dairy milk and it made me feel awful to have to give him it.  Ever since I brought almond milk into my home though my DS always wants to drink it and he never gets sick.  With eating more vegetables than I used to I have found almond milk to be that perfect offset to a meal - the missing sugar!  The nuttyness that I first was not used to is now what I crave after a good stir-fry.  Not only is this drink deliciously sweet but it’s also more nutritious than dairy milk.  Calcium is a huge factor of why people drink dairy milk.  You are pounded in the head with "drink more dairy milk for stronger bones." Well contrary to what people may think Silk PureAlmond has 50% more calcium than dairy milk does.  I was thinking the other day about how soft my skin and hair have become as well as my stretch marks from pregnancy have fainted tremendously (YAY!!)  For these awesome benefits I have to thank Silk PureAlmond for the excellent source of antioxidant vitamin E.  There is also no saturated fat or cholesterol in this drink and has added vitamins such as A, D, E, B12 and minerals such as zinc, copper, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese and riboflavin that are derived from vegetables.  Almonds are high in protein and have a good source of fiber.  Silk PureAlmond is made with filtered water and is also GMO-free.  Bonus that this Silk PureAlmond comes in different flavors: vanilla, dark chocolate or original.  A great variety and the same great taste.

I usually use the original for baking, vanilla for cereal and dark chocolate for desert.
