ABSOLUTE ASCENDANCY

Commencing operation . . .

Overview

I suffer from a mild form of lactose intolerance. Usually, the worst-case scenario is that I get quite gassy if I have too many dairy products. So I tend to steer clear from raw dairy products. I have no issues eating pizzas or Greek yogurt, but if I have a glass of milk or a chunk of cheese, my tummy is a rumbling.

Given that porridge is my staple breakfast, I needed to find an alternative to dairy milk. I tried a variety of alternative milk products from soya to rice to numerous nut milk drinks. I eventually discovered a winner. Let me introduce you to Rude Health Ultimate Almond milk drink. All it contains is 6% organic Italian almonds and spring water; it is, therefore, unsweetened without any nonsense, just how I like it. I once again tested the product with my second in command, but he couldn’t stand the taste. While I agree with him in that it pretty much tastes like water . . . well, that would be because it mostly is! Despite that, It works a treat with my porridge. It does have a somewhat creamy texture which combines well with the jumbo rolled oats that I use. Below I list 3 benefits of consuming almond milk.

Promotes Muscle Strength and Recovery

Almond milk contains a decent amount of protein and B vitamins, which help facilitate muscle growth and repair. I will state that dairy milk, however, does contain higher amounts of these and is, therefore, more effective.

Low in Carbohydrates

Unlike cow’s milk, however, almond milk is low in carbohydrates, especially unsweetened variants. You’re not going to end up with diabetes drinking almond milk, that’s for sure.

Protects the Heart

Almond milk is stacked with vitamin E and has no cholesterol or saturated fat. These two factors promote a healthy heart as one function of vitamin E is to prevent inflammatory responses within the body, as it is an antioxidant.

Conclusion

Ever since discovering Rude Health Ultimate Almond milk drink, it has been my number one top pick for milk. I will never, ever return to cow’s milk, especially as there is quite a lot of controversy with regards to dairy milk consumption. A long time ago, Persians drank almond milk due to its many nutritional benefits, so in this case, do as the Persians do!
