I just wanted to jump in and say that I found some organic Medjool dates at my local grocery store today and OH MY GOSH they are so yummy!!! I am so going to try the apple and date combo!!!! They taste just like carmel, hopefully if I can keep those on hand I won’t crave sugary snacks I’ll be craving dates!!!

I saw medjool dates at our health food store today and thought of you so I had to pick some up. I’m excited to try this, and I think my toddler will like it too. Thanks for all the great tips!

Thanks for the reply, Sara and Sarah B.! I will have to try Almond Breeze Vanilla. I bought “Pacific Natural Foods” unsweetend vanilla, and it is chalky. I think that’s what bothered me most, the texture. I should try it in cereal though, like Heather suggested.

Another suggestion..if you’re having trouble adjusting to the almond milk, I often buy vanilla almond milk or hazlenut milk to mix it up a bit. The vanilla almond milk in cereal is amazing.

Is there much difference in the fat and calorie content between cows milk and almond milk?

Ann, I saw your comment about your transition to almond milk. Just thought I’d let you know that my family and I have found that the BEST brand of store bought almond milk is “Almond Breeze Vanilla.” I soars above in taste quality and creaminess, compared to other brands. It really tastes great, and no chalky aftertaste.

Hi Ann!
I’m so glad! I know…isn’t almond butter the BEST? My favorite thing to do is slice up bananas, drizzle almond butter over it, add walnuts, and top it agave nectar. It’s better than any dessert! As for the almond milk…it may take a little getting used to if you’re used to cow’s milk. But trust me, the more you read about milk and it’s effects on your body, the less you will miss it You might experiment with making your own almond milk…click the link “almond milk” in the categories on the right. There is a great video demonstrating how to make it as well…the video is by Darryl Hannah and it’s all about live foods, but there is a nut milk section in there…click here to view it.
