Almond butter? Almond MILK? What's the scoop?

You buy it in the grocery store next to the soy milk products in the diary. And it does come from almonds many say it's better than soy. I beg to differ the only one that taste better is the Dark Chocolate almond. Just wait they will find it causes medically problems like everything else. I think it looks too much like breast milk.

I think almond butter offers a bit more Vitamin E and calcium but side by side the 2 are pretty close. I like both and will switch things up with the almond butter as the taste is a little different. My husband perfers the peanut butter. All in all I think it boils down to taste. I've never had almond milk but don't like soy so really never had the desire to try it. I'm all for adding some healthy options...same old same old gets tiring sometimes.

I haven't tried Almond butter but I switched from vanilla soy milk 90 calories a cup to original Almond milk (Blue Diamond brand) 60 calories a cup. Its great. I've tried Silk almond milk but its not as good as Blue Diamonds. I admit I can't find it everywhere so I buy 2 at a time when I get it. I use it in cereal, in the morning with my carnation breakfast essentials powder mix, and anyother time. This from the girl who didn't like regular milk. I love it. Its healthy and the calories are a good thing as well.

Almond butter has more vitamin E, iron, and a little more calcium, and has less saturated fat. The main difference is in acidity though, almond butter is alkaline and easier to digest. Also, from what I've seen almond butter tends to have less unnecessary additives that a lot of peanut butter has.

Almond milk is ok, less nutritional value than soy or low fat milk but generally lower calorie.

I have been using the Almond milk for probably over 4 months now, I like it. I have problems with milk so I tried soy then realized it wasnt the best for you if you were ttc so i switched to almond milk. like the person before said just wait they will probably find something wrong with this too but for now im using it. I use it in my oatmeal the most, i like the vanilla or the original, the unsweetened leaves much to be desired but i still use it.

You can apparently make your own almond milk as well...search for it on the net. I have yet to try it. I too buy the Blue Diamond. The only thing I HATE about almond milk is the fact that there is no protein in it?!?! I mean WTF, it is made from a NUT!

So if you are looking at some sort of milk as a source of protein that is something to think about...but we still drink it. I like the flavor.

Almond butter is just that...like peanutbutter made with almonds. Its pretty dern tasty. And generally if you look at the ingredients it is just almonds and salt maybe which is really nice.

There are also other milk alternatives such as rice milk, oat milk and hemp milk. Cashew butter is also very yummy.
Almond and cashew butter are cheaper to get in bulk if you can then in the jars and if you have a food processor you can make your own. I can't drink cows milk and I don't like soy so I usually use brown rice milk and almond milk. Hemp milk is really good especially the chocolate hemp milk but is very expensive.
