  • Love Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond in my eggs for omelets or scrambled - SO GOOD!! My son eats it over his cereal! Great stuff! The Blue Diamond unsweetened coconut almond is also really good in shakes (haven't tried it in anything else).

  • WOW!!! What an amazing story (and pictures)!! You are such an inspiration to me; I'm 50, trying to lose about 150 pounds and have seriously been considering weight loss surgery primarily because at my age I really doubted it was possible to do on my own through diet and exercise alone -- you (and your sister) have blown…
