Hi I use unsweetened almond milk , it makes great porridge ....I find x....Jess, I've started using almond milk in coffee, it tastes fine to me, hardly any different.....it doesn't colour the coffee as much as ordinary milk so the coffee looks stronger than usual but it doesn't taste stronger......I found out from this thread too that you can get unsweetened almond milk [wow! this place is wonderful for advice] so will give it a go when my carton's finished...
....haven't tried it in porridge as I use water but I don't see why it wouldn't work in that...
Hi, do you use single or double cream ?Hello Jude.
My big morning cup of coffee is so important to me! I used to whisk hot milk to go with it, but now know milk (skimmed or semi) is quite high in carbs, so . . .
I suggest trying cream which should keep blood sugar down much better than milk as it has less carbs and the fat helps too.
I've tried soya milk, but it curdles and tastes bad to me.
A less widely available (and more expensive) alternative low carb solution is almond milk, but you need to read packets carefully as several contain sugar. It's quite nice and also a good alternative with cereals.
But the cream is really luxurious tasting and sets the day off well for me!
Good luck,
Jane.
Milk contains sugar, cream is a lot less carbs, plus I find that I need only a splash of cream - I make the coffee strong, add cold water then the cream.I would never have thought of milk as raising BG or being high in carbs I though all dairy was ok as the ones doing LCHF have a lot of full fat dairy but I don't understand how cream is better when that is made from milk.
I have tried the alternative milks but I think they are horrible in tea and coffee so it has to be milk for me I like soya milk but only as a drink on it's own
janewatt hasn't been around for a couple of years... however I use double cream in coffee and sometimes in tea as well.Hi, do you use single or double cream ?
Hi just wondered if anyone knows - what it you made the porridge with water and then put double cream in after it's made?We are indeed different. 12 grams of (milk) sugar certainly is far too much for me! And I love the occasional glass of lukewarm milk or milk with my porridge but I can´t have neither milk nor porridge if I want to keep bg normal.
GI lists are of limited usefulness compared with a bg monitor.
The water and cream would be ok but for me the porridge would be the blood glucose raiser..Hi just wondered if anyone knows - what it you made the porridge with water and then put double cream in after it's made?
