Milk It

Up until about five years ago I never really payed much attention to the fiber, protein, and calories in almond milk, soy milk and rice milk, of course until I moved to California and discovered EVERYONE was drinking either soy or almond milk.   I then decided to collaborate a list of the different varieties of milks and their nutritional content.  I also taste tested them.. and the ones that I did not feel like tasting I went to the Internet and read blogs about how they tasted and ranked.   I know alot of people choose not to drink cows milk either due to an allergy, dietary preference, or religious reason.   I recently started using almond milk in my smoothies and enjoy the low calorie option, while still getting the Vitamin D and Calcium.   So let's get this party started...
