You should try: Almond Milk

As you can tell from my recipes: I'm a fan of clean eating. There are many youtube channels out there, telling you about the importance of good, clean food and alternatives to products you consume daily. In the course of my dietary change I tried many new products I never had before. Many of which I really learned to like and love.

In this series I want to introduce you to a couple of those foods. And the first one is actually a drink!

You should try: Almond Milk

Almond Milk is not only dairy-free but also very delicious. It's made by grinding up almonds in water and separating that almond-enriched water from the pulp of the nuts. The flavor that stays in the water is so refreshing and tasty, especially when you drink it straight out of the fridge.

As with many of these "healthier options": They have some benefits but also some shortcomings. For example: While Almond Milk may contain more Magnesium, Calcium and Vitamin B1 than regular milk, regular milk offers more Protein and Vitamin C while being lower in fat. You can check the nutritional facts below:

You see, there are benefits to both Almond Milk and regular milk. If you're trying to cut animal products from your diet then you should give this a go - even though it's way more expensive than milk. I personally like to use it as the base of my breakfast shakes. You can also use it in your coffee or just on its own.

I hope you enjoyed the first installment of "You should try...". Let me know if this inspired you to try Almond Milk !

Take care and be sexy,
