Great article! I didn't eat dairy...Hi Jessica! <br />Great article! I didn't eat dairy for so many years because of allergies. I eliminated most of them, and have some dairy now--organic, grass fed, humanely raised that is. I think it's good to change up what we eat even if we don't have allergies, so nowadays I mix it up. After a recent tea instead of coffee switch up, my fave creamer for tea is plain almond milk. <br />I had been using light coconut milk in my coffee (cans from Trader Joe's) before that, but the coconut flavor is little strong for tea, except chais. Box coconut milk tends to have crap in it, like thickeners. Coconut milk is also good in smoothies. Good fats for the body in moderation. <br />Another great thing about almond and hemp milks is that you can make your own by blending them with water in the blender. In case of hemp milk this is much more delicious, fresh and much less expensive. If you've got unpasteurized raw almonds, they can be soaked in spring water 8 hrs, then blended with water in blender, strained if desired, and it's a nutrition powerhouse. Both hemp seeds and almonds should be raw to do this. <br />Personally, I avoid soy now. There's lots of new research out about it. I'm not so sure it's as healthy for us as we once thought. Then again, I think everyone is different and needs to find what works for them. <br />Keep on dancin'!!<br />KatyKaty DeBrahttp://www.artbykd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811387502125178582.post-19703520505402262252012-03-31T20:51:14.970-07:002012-03-31T20:51:14.970-07:00Love Soymilk year round!

It goes on cereal, in coffee, in red mashed potatoes! Milk is definitely a no-no for artists in the theatre - the singing and speaking artists!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
