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

Wow, that's a lot.
I used to make my own almond milk and soy milk in a soy milk maker. The soy milk was especially nice. I also used to make milk using half oat groats and half brown rice (because if I used all oats, it came out way too thick) in my soy milk maker, and then I would thin it with a little water in my shake.

Can you drink cow's milk? If not, maybe you can find a soy milk maker to make your own milks.

: 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(
