So you've got your low calorie puffed cereal, but milk can add a lot of unwanted calories. Solution? Pacific's unsweetened original almond milk. It has a nutty taste perfect for the kamut puffs! They go perfectly together, but this milk is great with any cereal. There are so many different recipes that you can use this in. I recently made a batch of cookies with this milk, and I really couldn't taste a difference between those and the regular ones. Then again, my taste buds aren't so refined! The only thing I have to point out is that you may not enjoy this milk if you don't like almonds, obviously. It doesn't taste too much like almonds, but it has that all around nut taste. You could always add a zero calorie sweetener to the milk like Zsweet or liquid stevia, but I love it just the way it is. Time to flip the box and read the label! Looking at the nutritional info, we've got 2.5 g of fat, 180 mg of sodium, 2g of carbs, no sugar, and 1 g of protein. Not too bad! But the calories have to be the best. 35 for 1 cup! And honestly, who needs a whole cup of milk for cereal? I prefer my cereal drier, so this is even better for me! Delish.
Price: $3.39 at Whole Food's
Calories: 35 in 1 cup
You've probably these on my blog as well and know how much I like them! The only thing I've noticed is that they don't have any Calcium! That's definitely a drawback if you are looking for a milk alternative. However, the taste is great, so I just make sure I get my calcium in other ways when I have one.

Wow, really? I've never seen this milk on any other blog. I'll get my calcium somewhere else too. :)
ReplyDeleteI do love almond milk; wish it had more protein....
ReplyDeleteI found this milk at TJ's a few weeks ago. I really like it better than other milks I have tried.
ReplyDeleteHi, and thanks for stopping by my site! I can't believe this almond milk only has 35 cals per cup...wow! I'm going to look for this brand when I'm at the store next!

ReplyDeleteOh I love almond milk. I use the Almond Breeze brand!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your product reviews - can't wait for more! :)
ReplyDeleteTim Avila, creator of ZSweet® loves unsweetened almond milk as an alternative for his family, but because it doesn't taste that great he came up with an easy 0 sugar, 0 cal recipe to sweeten it using ZSweet®. Here's a link to the recipe on my blog. Enjoy! = )
