I just finished my first glass of Trader Joe's Organic Whole Grain Drink.
It's Gluten Free and Dairy Free and fortified with Vitamin D, A, B12, and Calcium. Made from organic brown rice, amaranth, millet, and quinoa….and its pretty good!
I am burning out fast from almond milk, soy milk, and rice milk and this will give me a great option. Some downsides? It has 0 protein. But, it only has 5 grams of sugar. It has 3 grams of fiber and only 2.5 grams of fat.
I have been kvelling (Yiddish for gushing) over coconut for a while. And, the love affair continues. Now those of you who have been avoiding yogurt because you don't do dairy or soy, can finally enjoy yogurt…coconut style. I recently purchased So Delicious Coconut Milk-based Yogurt (http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/coconut_yogurt.html) ; and I am very impressed. The flavors I have tried are blueberry, mango, and vanilla. They are sweetened with evaporated can juice and some servings have 22 grams of sugar, but they are generally low in calories and have healthy medium chain fatty acids. They are also gluten free. I generally recommend yogurt to my patients who can tolerate it because it's a great source of pre and probiotics for helping the digestive tract function, and now people have another option. Plus, I am all about healthy alternatives to plopping in front of the tube with a tub of Ben and Jerry's and this product will meet your sweet tooth needs. Make sure you take your time to enjoy it because each small container cost about $1.80.
