The Lean Week 1 Q2

2. What surprised you the most about milk (Day 6)?

[February]

The comment about the skim milk threw me for a loop! To think that'd been my milk of choice prior to going to a plant based diet! Some of these things I wish I knew years ago.

I am going to have to try to share this with my mother. She thinks skim milk is the best source for calcium and "skim" because of its low fat content.

I like her suggestions for seeking out milk alternatives. I have recently been making smoothies with macadamia nuts, as the macadamia nuts and water when broken down create a "milk" taste. This also fits into her chapter on going nuts, where nuts satiate and don't lead to added weight gain. I have not given up milk or dairy but it is nice to be prodded to try different healthy alternatives.
