FAVORITE THINGS

Since I have been so focused the past few months on a healthier lifestyle, I thought it would be fun to share some of my new favorite things pertaining to health and nutrition. So, each day for the next week or so, I will post one thing that I "can't live without", just for fun!

Today's item? ALMOND MILK. Where has it been all my life? Seriously, this stuff is divine. It's low in calories, low in fat and is cholesterol free. Its lactose and gluten free and is a great source of calcium, and vitamins D & E. It's nutritionally rich and free of antibiotics and growth hormones. Everyone knows that almonds are sooooo good for you. I use the vanilla almond milk instead of cow's milk in our smoothies and cereal, and plain unsweetened almond milk for baking, etc.

Give this stuff a try, I don't think you'll be dissapointed. My kiddos drink it right out of the carton. Seriously. Out of the carton. Even my manly, milk-drinkin husband likes it.
