Almond milk

Has anyone here tried almond milk? I'm not usually one for hippy alternatives and I'm certainly not a veggie/vegan, but almond milk is actually very nice!

It's a tad more expensive than regular milk and has a slightly sweeter taste to it, but it is very nice and has 0% sat fat and less calories. The slight sweetness is also very useful if you're looking to substitute sugar or sweeteners in tea.

You'll be able to pick fresh and UHT up at any big supermarket so give it a try if you haven't.

Yup, absolutely fine in tea and coffee.

Do go on, genuinely interested.

There's technically nothing wrong with anything, so long as it's consumed in moderation, and of course dietary fat doesn't equate to body fat. But is sat fat good?

Yeah, very different. Almond milk has a thinner consistency to milk whereas coconut milk (as far as I can remember since the last time I used it) is ticker/more glutinous?

Very interesting, thank you

. Surprised that something so wrong and with no benefit to anyone (bar Hovis) has gone on for so long.
