How much almond milk?

foxybeejer · 08-12-2008, 09:07 PM

Someone suggested to me to use almond milk (unsweetened almond breeze) in my egg creams instead of heavy whipping cream to save on fat. Is it going to taste way different? Also, how much should I put in?

I use either 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup coffee or a full cup almond milk if I am going decaf.

The chocolate is my favorite!

I usually use:
3 eggs
half ounce da vinci's sf syrup
3 drops of stevia
4 iced coffee cubes
and the usually 2.5 TBS heavy whipping cream

So I think that I will try first to sub it with a 1/4 cup of almond milk. They have chocolate!? Ohh...that sounds good. I just saw the regular one and didn't even look at the other flavors.

I usually use a tbsp or so of heavy cream and up to a cup of almond milk. I almost like it better. I use ice so with just the cream it is too thick.
I usually do:
2 eggs
1 (or a bit less) scoop of vanilla whey protein powder
1tbsp heavy cream
3/4 cup almond milk (unsweetened-any flavor)
1 tbsp instant coffee crystals
handful of ice
1 tbsp coconut oil

I am not a chocolate fan in general--i dont hate it, i just prefer vanilla. That being said i have just finished a carton of chocolate because i was not willing to waste it--it was fine with a very natural milky chocolate flavor.

If you're incorporating yogurt, I personally believe kefir to be a valuable food.

No, no yogurt. I was never a big fan. So I figure it is probably best to leave it out.

I use:

1 egg
1/4 c unsweetened almond breeze (sometimes chocolate)
1 c coffee
2 Splenda packets
...a drop of vanilla and a few ice cubes

I tried it with a 1/4 cup and it was good. I am going to get the chocolate one soon!

It just seems like so much carbs to waste on something I don't even really care for. Even fage seems to be alot of carbs. Plus I tried it once and it didn't taste very good.
