@lioness- Wow Linda, Almond yogurt? Who knew? @contentandwell- Check this out: Almond yogurt. What brand is it Linda?

@merpreb Hi Its Silk almond yogurt . I also have been drinking my chai tea in evening and have been sleeping better don't know if this is why but I like it at night . Have a good day

@merpreb @lioness I will definitely look for that in the supermarket. I like almond milk so I am sure to like it. It probably does not have as much protein as the lactose-free dairy yogurt that I have been getting at Whole Foods though. Maybe fewer calories though. I presume you can get it unsweetened.

@contentandwell I like the vanilla flavored but I'm pretty sure I saw the unflavored It does have 24g of sugar whether they have one with no sugar I don't know. It is dairy and soy free. Hope you can find it There are a lot of almond farms up North in Ventura Co. when I go to Fresno there are miles of farms producing everything.

Hi, I am currently drinking Califia brand....unsweetened...35 calories for 8 oz glass. I also get almond soy unsweetened also low in calories. Both are good and product lasts over 2 months. Unsweetened coco in it is good if you are into coco. Unsweetened almond milk or soy is sweet enough to my palate and I have a sweet tooth. I love the almond taste and use almond butter on occasion..even in my Chinese inspired stir fry dishes.

@imallers Never heard of Almond butter have to look for that .

@lioness
Hi
Almond butter is with the peanut butters along with cashew butter and other types if the supermarket carries it. More money than peanut butter but heavenly.

I'm sad to find out that an 8 oz cup of chai can be loaded with 130 calories! I purchased a chai mix product from the health food store yesterday. This chai is loaded with sugar! More than a soda I'd say. What a bummer, I'll have to take it off my list of 'good stuff' 🙁 Or perhaps I can find a sugar free chai mix.

@lioness - I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree with you a bit on the salmon. I actually enjoy farm raised more than wild. We have a great fish market here in town and they are conscientious in their sourcing. We probably eat farm raised salmon every week and thoroughly enjoy it.

The other thing we eat is fresh local shrimp. JK @contentandwell - This was one on the things I missed most when we moved to Boston. Don't get me wrong, I love the lobsters. I would kill for some clams w/ bellies at a local clam shack. But sadly, in the Northeast, the shrimp were frozen.

Here in Northeast FL, we get beautiful local shrimp - from the Atlantic - not the Gulf. We also get practically local shrimp called Key West Pink from a little south but they are brought in w/o freezing them. I pretty much love all seafood so I'm glad I'm from the East Coast.

@Erinmfs Hey Erin I mix my on . Golden milk but use a regular chai tea bag also . I use turmeric,ginger and after its hot pour in Almond milk. No yeast lol
