Almond milk

[Charisma_1630]

I just bought some unsweetened almond milk. It says 0.1g carb per 100g. Just wanted to check before I try it. Should really affect my sugars should it?

 

[noblehead]

At that level it certainly won't.

 

[paul-1976]

It'll be fine at that level of total carbs-don't worry

 

[Charisma_1630]

Yay! Thanks for reply

I use it on my all bran in the morning - lush. I also use it with green and black cocoa powder and I do up a really gorgeous hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon. Really good stuff.

I use the same stuff in my porridge, never bother counting it.

The "original" by contrast is icky sweet and has about 5g per 100ml if I remember

Kat100, I'm a T2 and I drink/use it as well! Since it's something many of might use, I don't see why your comment shouldn't be relevant.

I use it every day( the unsweetened one) and it has no effect on my BGs...try it and test 2hrs later.

 

[Charisma_1630]

Well I tasted it and actually found it gross!! But someone else has suggested I try it on my porridge in the morning, atleast that way I can use it up!

The first time I tasted it I too thought it was gross , however, it's grown on me and although it's no good as a milk substitute in tea or coffee it's great for everything else. Give it a go

If you're not keen on the Almond milk but are looking for a lower carb alternative then I'd recommend Lactofree milk as that tastes just like regular milk IMO

I've not tried that Paul. Is it ok in tea?

I can't tell the difference in tea and coffee from regular milk(I buy the the Arla Lactofree whole milk) The only slight downside is it is dearer than regular milk.

I got the Alpro sugar free mainly as I was desperate to have something in my (decaf) coffee and at first it really tasted far too rich and almost greasy :***: as I've been previously using skimmed milk for years. It's a better now as I'm getting more used to it, but it is useful for other things too where I don't notice the rich taste so much.

Thanks, I don't use much, it's only for tea. I'm a cream with coffee woman, and am happy with Almond milk for everything else.

Robbity, I was on skimmed milk and low fat for donkey's years... Fat lot of good it did me too, lol. I have cream in coffee (decaf).....bliss...so it's only tea which I don't use almond milk for, but I love tea so going to try Paul's suggestion of Lactofree milk.
