Making the switch from cow milk to lactose free alternatives has been easier than we thought! With amazing flavors to choose from even the kids are on board! Here is what we have done just for coffee!
Compare 1Tbsp Coffee Mate Egg Nog Latte to Silk Seasonal Nog soymilk:
Coffee Mate-
45 calories
1.5g fat
6g sugar
Silk-
11.25 calories
.25g fat
1.5g sugar
What a difference! The Silk is a bit thinner than the Coffee Mate but has great flavor, even for me, the flavor junkie!
My husband usually uses 2% milk in his coffee and has switched to Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk Blend. Again we will compare the two per 1Tbsp:
2% milk-
7.5 calories
.31g fat
.69g sugar
Breeze-
2.81 calories
.21g fat
0g sugar
Holy smoke! While comparing the two we also discovered that the almond coconut blend has way more calcium than milk! 1 cup of milk has 276mg of calcium and the blend has 455mg! So not only is this a yummy switch, it's also a smart one.
