Re: Almond Milk Nightmare
In Response To: Almond Milk Nightmare ()

Hi Sarit

It sounds like your body was pretty smart this time around and spoke to you LOUD and clear. In my old hippie days, I used to make almond milk by soaking raw almonds over night and blending them up for a minute or so in the blender and then straining. I used to add honey, but that would not work with RR. I might consider adding a little stevia. I don't have a problem with that stuff, but I remember Kathleen saying to stay clear of any sweeteners. In any case, it will keep in the fridge for 3 days no problem.

: You may have read my recent post
: about trying shake
: and wondering about the covert sugars
: in the PP and almond milk.

: Well, last night I prepared the basic
: parts of this morning's shake (PP,
: almond milk & oatmeal) and put
: it in the frig.

: This morning I took it out and boy,
: did it smell sickeningly sweet!!

: Again I went to check the labels.
: The PP has less than 1 gram sugars.
: The almond milk label said 3 grams
: sugars (from evaporated cane
: juice)......It's the only kind of
: almond milk I have seen here in
: Israel.

: I held off with breakfast for a
: while, and debated what to do.
: Then I went back to the almond milk
: label, and this time, instead of
: reading just the Hebrew label, I
: read the English label too.
: Ready for this?
: 15 grams of sugar!!!!! :s4( :s8( :s2(

: Holy Smokes!!!!

: Well, there went the shake
: preparation down the kitchen sink
: drain.
: And now I also understand why I've
: been feeling gassy since
: yesterday's first try at this
: shake.......sugar has always done
: that to me, and after not having
: had any for so long, just one time
: was enough to trigger it.

: Back to the drawing board..... :s9(
