Almond Milk

Mixing my protein powder with unsweetened almond milk is much better than mixing it with water, well worth the 40 calories a cup. And I like that I can keep a stock of unopened containers in the pantry. Costco even sells it now!

i make my own almond milk. i've got a grinder machine that makes milk (soy also) and i use like 2-3 cups of water and 3 serving sizes of almonds out of a dry roasted almond bag i get from costco. i can make like 20 gallons of almond milk for around 15 bucks.

i also put a few scoops of chocolate whey protein into my finished product, blend it for a few minutes, put it into the pitcher again and put it in the refrigerator. when it is nice and cold it is some of the best chocolate milk i've ever had (and it has 20 grams of protein per half cup and only like 5 net carbs).

Are you talking about a juicer? It sounds like a great idea because I go through Almond Milk like crazy - a litre lasts me two days.

Does anyone use almond milk instead of regular milk? I was wondering what the benefits of it are?

The benefits of almond milk - pure deliciousness with vanilla [and/or cinnamon in my coffee or hot cocoa] !!!! Love my almond [other nut] flour(s), butter(s)s, paste, filling(s) and macaroon(s).

That!

I didn't read through but a few of the first responses. Now, I love Blue Diamond Unsweetened Regular or Vanilla Almond Milk, but do not be fooled!!! It does have an expiration date. It says on the carton that it should be used within the first 7-10 days after being opened. Now you can buy it in bulk and shelve it and it will indeed last. So if it's on sale, buy buy buy! But for some reason you are supposed to use within a week or so after opening. Although, I have used it up to two weeks after with absolutely no problems!
I put Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein powder in mine and use it after I lift. It's delicious!


**Edit to add:
Use the Vanilla Unsweetened with Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and it SERIOUSLY TASTES LIKE APPLE PIE minus the insane calorie count from a slice!!!

We had this questio at a seminar I went to, whether there was any benefits to almond milk. We were told there isn't any nutritional value, just empty calories. We were informed to either use soy or rice milk -- offers better benefits, though many people can't tolerate soy.

FYI - the seminar was conducted by the fitness expert (phD) who writes the nutritional columns for Runners World magazine.

Chocolate Peanut Butter protein sounds really good!

Well that's quite odd since it seems rice milk is empty calories and almond is quite nutritious.
