A Little Desert Apartment

A few years ago, I stopped drinking dairy milk and started using milk alternatives in my drinks, my cereal, and smoothies.   My stomach would become upset and Emma's digestion hasn't been normal since she had a G-Tube (feeding tube) put in and removed.  I still cook with regular milk and creams but for drinking? Gimme something without the dairy.   I tried soy milk and I didn't like the taste.  I tried a few different kinds of milk alternatives like Almond, Oat, Rice, and Hemp and I found I liked almond better but some of the brands were hit or miss.  A year ago, I tried Silk Almondmilk and have been sold since.  I just liked the overall smoothness, the richer texture and taste better than the other brands I tried previously.  Also- there are some benefits of almond milk such as more calcium than dairy and higher protein.  



 I had to run to Safeway and pick up some Silk Almond Milk and other groceries.  I learned that Silk has NEW Almond Milk blends.  I was so excited and picked up the Almond Coconut Blend and the Almondmilk Protein + Fiber. 


Besides the fact that Silk AlmondMilk has 50% more calcium than cow's milk for BOTH varieties, the Protein+Fiber has 5 g of protein and 5 g of fiber.  The Almond Coconut Blend is only 35 calories per serving.

That's a win to me.  

We can always use more fiber and calcium, this is a win win to me and mine!



Emma loves chocolate milk. She gets it as a treat when she's been making great choices.  I made her a chocolate milk with the Almondmilk with protein +fiber.  It was a win! 





 I adore Chai latte and have been drinking mine with Silk Almondmilk for the last year and decided to try it with the Almond Coconut blend and ohhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyy goodness.  Perfect.  Match made in heaven!
