My Dairy Cleanse & Almond Milk Reviewed.

Charlie's pediatrician told me babies with eczema are more prone to allergies. She suggested I cut out dairy from my diet for two weeks to see if it made a difference in his skin. My two weeks ends tomorrow and I don't think it has made a difference. My friends who have kids with eczema told me they can typically have flare ups when the weather changes. I noticed his skin was looking good (because of no dairy?) but the next day it flared up and it was the first day of poo poo weather we've been having. I think they are on to something.

So how did the cleanse go? It was pretty good. I love me some dairy so at first it was hard to figure out what to eat. I love cheese and milk and could (and sometimes do) have it all day. I love cereal so I knew I had to find a milk substitute but I didn't want to have soymilk so I decided to try Almond Milk. They have original, chocolate and vanilla. I didn't know which to get so I got all three and had a taste test.

I think Rob thought I had lost it because when he unloaded the dishwasher he said "um, when did you take shots?"

My review:

Original - Tastes almondy. I wouldn't be able to drink it by the glass but I can have it with my cereal.

Vanilla - Very sweet. Rob likes it as a sweet treat after dinner. I tried it in coffee as a creamer but it was gross.

Chocolate - Very sweet and thick plus it has a ton more calories than the original and vanilla.

I don't think I'd buy it again once I'm back on cow's milk but its a decent alternative.
