Keep Calm and Drink Almond Milk

The contents of my grocery basket change every time, depending on my mood or what’s on sale, but there’s a few constants.

Bananas.

Wine.

Almond milk.

I’m not entirely lactose intolerant, but my stomach doesn’t enjoy much dairy, and since exploring dairy alternatives, I’ve fallen in love with both almond and soy milk.

I almost always have a container of Almond Breeze in my refrigerator, and I use it basically the same way I’d use cow’s milk: in cereal, in smoothies, in oatmeal and even baking. As Anne said, it has less protein than cow’s milk, but otherwise it’s very healthy and is a good source of calcium and Vitamins D, E and A.

I don’t quite know how they can make the almond milk taste sweet without adding sweetener, but it’s pretty damn good.

Speaking of sweet, they’re running a pretty sweet sweepstakes on their Facebook page right now.

I think we can all use some kind words in our lives, right?

Well, one lucky winner on their Facebook page will win a year’s supply of Almond Breeze and a $1000 home store gift card to “spruce up your kitchen!”

You just have to like their page and then leave a nice message for someone else to “get their good going.”

I chose my mom because she rocks, and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

I get my good going by running:

…and eating bananas.
