Product-Milk Substitute

This post is my official low-sugar milk substitute comparison. I originally posted about wanting to reduce my daily sugars. Noticing that any milk, whether skim, 1% or whole, had the same amount of sugars (about 12g sugar per 1C serving!!), I decided I didn't want my sugar that way! I could make up the protein and opted to find a dairy-free option simply to reduce the sugar hit to my system.

I started with the bare bones...Pacific Almond Unsweetened.

Notes:
Pacific Almond Unsweetened is REALLY THIN. I like the taste, but added 1/2T heavy whipping cream to my cereal for a thicker liquid. I like it!

So Delicious Coconut Unsweetened
This is nice! Not really any flavor, but thick and creamy for a milk. Still added the cream, yummers.

Tomorrow for the new one.

One container is about 945ml...giving me almost 8 servings (120ml per serving=1/2C). So...one container lasts about a week, which is perfect because they aren't supposed to last beyond about 10 days once opened. So I use one per week, same kind and switch every week if I want something new.

My friend left her Kirkland Organic Rice Milk in my frig the other day, so I thought I'd put it up for comparison!

So there you go...120 calories and 23g carbs. Nope, I don't want my carbs that way, I prefer something cracker-y in my salad, thank you very much! That's what I'm loving about counting calories...I can't lie to myself! Numbers don't lie!
