If you haven’t yet noticed, the dairy aisle
is a popular place for milk alternatives.
Many people are choosing to bypass the
regular milk, as they head for such
alternatives as soy (bad!!) and almond
milk, among others.
People are
doing this for good reason. Almond milk
provides a range of nutritive benefits,
and it can be a healthy and tasty snack. In
fact, almond milk has about one third the
calories that regular milk has. Just
reaching for it, rather than regular milk,
will save you a lot of calories per glass!
Depending on the brand of almond milk
you purchase, you can expect that a
serving of the unsweetened beverage
will only set you back about 35 to 40
calories. But in those calories comes a
range of nutrition, including calcium,
Vitamin E, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, and
Magnesium.
Sticking with the unsweetened types will
help you avoid the unnecessary sugar, as
well as additional calories. Give
almond milk a try by itself, and also
consider using it in your protein shake,
which was mentioned earlier. Any place
you would normally use regular milk you
may want to substitute it with
unsweetened almond milk. It will save
calories, while providing you plenty of
nutrition.
Unsweetened almond milk is a tasty
snack to have any time of the day!
