Almond Milk For The Win!

It was just announced that Mad Cow Disease has been found in a California dairy cow. Keep Calm and Go Vegan! As much as I hate hearing about an animal suffering, these are the kind of news stories that prove a vegan diet does a body good. I’d say now’s as good a time as any to talk about the best alternatives to dairy.

I used to drink soy milk, but I switched to almond milk. I find the taste to be much better than soy. Almond Breeze and Whole Food’s 365 Brand are my favorites. It may not be as healthy, but I prefer vanilla over unsweetened. SILK is one of the biggest soy/almond milk brands, but I avoid SILK because it’s owned by White Wave. When I lived in Italy, I drank alpro soya.

I like to have oatmeal for breakfast, so I really only use almond milk for my coffee. But I find the taste of almond milk so good that I’d drink it on its own. I’m a picky vegan and a creature of habit, but if you have a different brand/flavor that’s your favorite, I’d love to hear what you think. Hope that helps!
