I am seriously thinking about embracing vegetarianism. I was a vegetarian in college for about a year and a half. I honestly don’t remember what made me start eating meat again, but I do remember how amazing I felt when I wasn’t eating it. I was full of energy, had great immunity, was at a great weight, and all around at peace with myself. I know all the reasons why vegetarianism is a wonderful choice for my body and the environment. That said, I don’t plan on cutting out dairy (milk, eggs, cheese) and becoming vegan, however, this time around I am going to limit dairy.
I discovered almond milk this week as an alternative to cow’s milk. I must say it is delicious!
I compared the nutrition facts of the two. Almond milk is lower in calories (40 vs. 90); cow’s milk is lower in fat (0 g vs. 3 g); almond milk is lower in sugars (0 g vs. 12 g); but cow’s milk is higher in protein (9 g vs. 1 g).
It looks like cow’s milk

For me, almond milk has won. I just love the taste and how creamy it is. It also smells very nutty. I can’t wait to make a smoothie with it and try the other flavors – vanilla and chocolate!
