McCormick Almond Flavor

eathealthy2live

Every morning I eat oatmeal with 1/8th cup of bananas, 1/8th cup of skinned apples and 1 tbs of peanut butter. I don't add any Sugar or natural or unnatural sweeteners. So sometimes after a while of eating oatmeal every morning the taste kind of gets bland. the other day I was eating some almonds and I really liked that almonds have a real sweet taste so I thought I would try almonds in my oatmeal and the next day I did but lets just say almonds in hot oatmeal is not a good combination. The taste was great but the almond got kind of soggy, so the next day instead of using almonds I used some almond flavor extract and it taste really good. i just put a drop in my oatmeal and it taste delicious. so i added a drop to my ice water and it taste like almond ice cream. At late night when I'm looking for something sweet to taste I drink ice cold almond flavored water, Try it it taste really good... I i thought how can it taste so good it must have a little sugar in it. I went to the internet to read the nutritional info on almond flavoring and it says that it doesn't have any sugar at all. Does anyone know of any reason that I can't use almond extract flavoring for my sugar substitute...
