Almond Milk Latte: Gluten Free Dairy Free!

 
   Almond Milk Latte  :)
  • Almond milk is a good natural source of magnesium, potassium, manganese, selenium and vitamin E -- nutrients that aid metabolism, bone health, heart function, immune and reproductive function.
  • If you buy almond milk that has been enriched or fortified, it is a good replacement for cow's milk in terms of calcium and vitamin D content.
  • The fat in almond milk is unsaturated and free of cholesterol -- and unsaturated fats have been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease.
  • 8 oz (237ml) of almond milk contains approximately 70 calories, 2gm protein, 10gm carbohydrates and 2.5 gm fat.
You can find almond milk in regular grocery stores ~ look in the health food or "special diet" section for shelf-stable varieties (that need to be refrigerated after opening) ~ or in the refrigerated section near the cow's milk for some varieties sold chilled.

Yummy!
