    Almond Milk

    I'm curious - what's almond milk like, and what do you do with it?

    It's the same consistency as milk but I don't think it tastes much like milk. I use it in cereal and just to drink sometimes but mostly I use it in protein shakes when I'm watching calories. The unsweetened has fewer calories and less sugar than 2% milk.

    Cool - thanks! Might try it in a protein shake too :)

    Yeah, I keep the traditional basics around too (skim milk, chicken breasts, eggs, etc) but I thought it would be more interesting to list my non-traditional "staples":

    1. Double concentrated tomato paste - this can be used to add a little umami taste ( that mmm hmmm meaty taste) to any dish and make it more satisfying - such as an egg white scramble.

    2. Part-skim ricotta cheese - i use it to replace butter or mayo but with more protein. For example, an english muffin with a smear of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of cinnamon makes a terrific cinnamon roll substitute.

    3. Green onions - adds a bit of mild onion flavor to anything. Can be chopped up and used raw without being too onion-y. Adding a finely diced green onion to a salad makes it possible to use a lot less salad dressing but not be left with bland lettuce.

    4. Celery - lasts really well in the fridge and adds bulk and crunch without calories. I sneak a finely diced celery stalk into practically everything.

    5.Shredded Parmesian cheese - makes any vegetable taste yummy. I used to love buttery, cheesy and creamy sauces. This is my better alternate. Because the flavor is strong, one tablespoon sprinked over a cup of veggie like brussel sprouts goes a long way.

    Cheers!

    1 - coffee
    2 - greek yogurt
    3 - cheese
    4 - spinach
    5 - fruit in general, whatever is in season, and right now it's been cherries for the past two months - not sick of them yet and will sorely miss them when they're out of season!
