almond milk

[Zodiac82]

well I gonna grab some the other day bcuz id figure it would be better the regular milk. Then looking at the nutritional facts it does has less fat less cals....but it also has a lot less protein....so my question is is there a real beneficial reason to taking almond milk and why not just take 1% of fatfree milk since it has less fat less cals and the same protein as reg milk....thanks

What were the sugar grams per cup in the almond milk?

[Zodiac82]

good question I honestly dont remember

[Papa Smurf]

All cows milk has 12 grams of lactos sugar per cup, no matter the fat %

[MickeyKnox]

The big draw for Almond milk is zero sugar, not for protein.

Cows milk has 6-8 grams of protein per serving, BUT it has 13grams of sugar.

I used it from time to time for my super shakes. I found a recipe that called for it, but used water when I ran out and didn't notice a bit of difference.

[MickeyKnox]

Ive never drank almond milk. Water, black coffee or green tea for me.

There is a few types, sweetened, unsweetened, unsweetened w/ vanilla flavor. I choose the last one to keep the sugar down.

[MuscleInk]

Stick w/ unsweetened. Less sugar.

Mickey....are you baking cakes!?!?!?!?!

As stated, the benefit of using Almond 'milk' over cow's milk is the almost non-existent sugar content. Note it's not actually a milk at all... it doesn't come from an animal obviously, but does have a consistency similar to milk.

I use almond unsweetened vanilla for all shakes also. I like the taste. I give it to my kids also and they like it. great taste, and guilt free use,,,, WIN!!!

Ive never drank it either....I've pretty much used water or fat free milk(for shakes) but Ive seen a few ppl mentioning it so id figure id give it a whirl

that is exactly what i do as well!

[RaginCajun]

yes, you are correct. i mainly do it to add protein and volume to my shakes.

the egg whites also help make it frothy

Kind of - but it's not just about the almond milk. I used to make my shakes/smoothies using water, but since switching it out for almond milk/egg whites, I've been able to reduce the amount of protein powder I use, plus the shake is slightly thicker, so it's a win/win!

gonna have to try this....im assuming the egg whites your getting are the ones in a supplement store not from actually cracking eggs and removing the yolk

[gbrice75]

No different. The egg whites are tasteless, and I use unsweetened almond milk w/ stevia.

Note I use this as part of a bigger meal with a lot of other ingredients, but this is the liquid 'base'.

I LOVE almond milk ... Although I do not incorporate it into my diet at the moment, it was a staple in my diet for quite a while. The Unsweetened Chocolate was my fav - only 45 cals per serving, 3.5g fat & 2g carbs... I'd make my shakes w/ it or heat it up in the microwave for 45 seconds & add the Hazlenut Splenda to it as a little treat every now & then...

However, it's more of a filler... Hard to fit into macros and almost not worth it if you're like me who only has 1500 cals a day to work w/ .. I'd rather eat food! Lol. Damn it.... Now I want Almond Milk haha!
