Silk lite almond milk (60) cals? Do you use it in shakes? Can we?

[Homecie 41]

Has anyone been told they can or cannot use the almond milk, the low fat one?

I was told no by my nutritionist. She recommended sugar free soy milk as it has a lot more Protein.

I was told no soy products and she said I could use half almond milk and half Water if needed.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a standard, across the board food plan for all WLS patients that the doctors could all agree on!

It was suggested to me to get the 60 calorie almond milk... But it was too bland. I got the vanilla almond milk and drank it straight and mixed shakes with it.

My surgeon says to use skim milk as it has the most Protein. 8.4 grams. i don't like drinking skim milk, butI do make tea with it.

I'm not a fan of regular milk and have been using almond milk for years. It just doesn't give me enough Protein. I've had to start making my Protein Shakes with regular milk to get the needed protein in.

I'm blessed in that my grocery store has a store brand of skim milk that is not only lactose free but has 12 grams of Protein per cup! Needless to say, that's what I use! ????

Too much soy is not good for males. Just a thought.

I try to stay away from soy and make my Protein Shakes with almond milk and half Water. It's not as thick that way.

Too much soy is not good for anyone, male or female. I used soymilk in place of dairy when my youngest child was nursing, b/c she was dairy allergic. After several months of daily soy milk (just on Cereal in the am), I developed Hashimoto's autoimmune hypothyroidism. It may be coincidence, since sometimes pregnancy triggers this as well, but soy is a well-known goitrogen so now I avoid it almost entirely.

The studies on asians and lower rates of some cancers now show that fermented soy (tofu and tempeh) are the key; they don't eat processed soy products like milk and cheese.
