Hi all, after a recommendation on here to try almond milk I am now supping it in my coffee. Colour of coffee looks a little odd but taste is good and I think I can get used to it and It’s on offer in Sainsburys fridge section for £1 at the moment (the long life version is £1.70). Also, how yummy is full fat Greek yoghurt?

It’s lovely, especially with some berries on it. Not too many. Tesco do a good range of frozen ones too

Try adding some fresh chopped mint and a squeeze of lemon to make a mint yoghurt dip to add to almost any dish.

The simplest thing to add to coffee is full fat cream or try hazel nut milk in you coffee to give you an other flavour option. It all boils down to personal taste but I preferred the hazel nut milk to almond I just found the almond lacking in flavour. ;)

Thanks for reminding me about hazelnut milk! I used to drink the Alpro one when I was first diagnosed until I realised it contained a fair bit of added sugar. But I've just remembered that Plenish also do a hazelnut milk, which although a lot more pricey is sugar free. I can no longer get my decaf hazelnut coffee but now I can have some Plenish in standard decaf instead.:joyful:

I really enjoy the Alpro coconut one, only 2.6g per 100ml, have it in cereal, especially my branflakes and walnuts.

Ooo frozen yoghurt sounds good. I’m glad I’ve found something to enjoy for dessert

The dip thingy sound good, i’d Never of thought of that, thanks. I’ve never seen hazelnut milk, can you buy it in regular supermarkets?
 
I am - or was - a total milk addict. I drank two litres of skim milk a day before diagnosis. I adore the stuff. But now I buy unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Once your taste buds get used to it it's not too bad - and very nutritious too. :hungry:
 
I use Plenish unsweetened Almond milk which froths up really nicely in my nespresso milk frother to make a very acceptable cappucino with only a fraction of the carbs in a dairy based one

Got some in the fridge may try that later.

I never even thought about the carb content of milk until recently. I think because it’s a liquid, that there were no carbs in it, such naivety! I’m learning tho x
