Regular milk vs Almond milk

I often get asked the question, should I switch to Almond milk? What's the difference? Does it really matter? And the answer is YES!! If you substitute your regular milk, even half the time, with almond milk, it can save you on a ton of calories and sugar!! Yes, sugar! Skim milk alone has 12g of sugar, and we all know, even if it's naturally occuring, we all don't need more sugar! And compared to skim milk at 80 calories, Almond milk has 30!
Now don't be tricked by those vanilla and chocolate versions of almond milk (ton of sugar). Go for the unsweetened vanilla or regular light vareities. AND if you don't like to just drink it plain, put it in your smoothie or your cereal!  You can even use it as you would regular milk in recipes! Oh and unlike regular milk, almond milk has VITAMIN E, great for the skin, and it still had VITAMIN D (just as much) as milk. SO DRINK UP!
