Vanilla flavored almond milk is fine, but I found the vanilla flavored soy milk to be more creamy, closer to dairy milk, and almond milk is more expensive than soy milk. Making almond milk is done with many of the same methods as soy, however I am under the impression that it will not be cheap to buy almonds in bulk.
I suppose I wouldn’t mind attempting a kind of tea. I’ve never had tea before. |
Yeah Mr. V, spending money on something you think will be awesome and realizing later that it wasn't as awesome as anticipated SUCKS man. I hear you. Yes, almonds in bulk are super expensive...I wouldn't go that route.
Perhaps if you supplement your soy milk with another cheap beverage, (ie. homemade iced tea, water) it could work out. I also use those fizzy vitamin supplement drinks (ie. Emergen-C) but I don't use the Emergen-C brand, it has too much sugar, instead I opt for a store brand (just read the label). Or I will just buy a buttload of lemons and add lemon to water (SO good for you) and a fast easy way to detox your body.
Throwing some hugs your way
Hope you're not too down about it.
Dairy milk essentially is NOT bad for you. HOWEVER, the crap that is ADDED to the dairy has
loads of health problems. Added to (mainstream) milk are antibiotics, growth hormones, and a concoction of other drugs. The dairy industry is perhaps the cruelest on the planet. If you are doing it for health then drink non-hormone, grass-fed LOCAL milk. If you are doing it for ethical reasons then drink non- hormone, grass-fed LOCAL milk. The vitamins in dairy milk do not outweigh the JUNK that is added to it, you can easily get the vitamins in soy or almond milk. Soy however is not the healthiest thing either but I would say it's better than dairy.
