Carrot Tart Speaks

As a Blue Diamond tastemaker I get to come up with original ways to use Almond Breeze so this month I decided to make a coffee drink. I love coffee drinks and sometimes they are just way too sweet and have so much stuff going on it's ridiculous. This is a really simple drink to make and not too sweet made with stuff I like. A healthier alternative to many of the coffee drinks out there. 4 oz Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk 2 oz prepared espresso (I used instant and let it cool off) 2 oz Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk Ice Put ice in glass and 4 ounces Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk, add 2 ounces espresso than two ounces of Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk, stir and enjoy!

All the baked French Toast recipes I kept seeing required letting the dish sit in the fridge overnight. I devised my own that you make, bake and then you can eat. One bowl, one dish and everybody gets to eat it while it is hot.  Also check out the link at the bottom for a great chance to win a Kitchen Prize Pack from Blue Diamond Almond Breeze!

My idea of a perfect snack is all about the balance. You need healthy fats and you also need fruit and nuts and dairy and fiber. Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla Almond Coconut Unsweetened and a blueberry muffin satisfied my sweet tooth and my balanced snack plan. The coconut inspired a little island feeling too. One cup of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almondmilk Coconutmilk Blend contains just 45 calories and 50% RDA of Vitamin E , 45% Calcium and notable amounts of Vitamin D (25%) , Vitamin A (10%) s well as a little phosphorus, iron and magnesium. I think I have my brunch plan for tomorrow. This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk. I am a Blue Diamond Tastemaker. carrottarts.blogspot.com

The Challenge : Create a summer treat using five ingredients or less with Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk  After enlisting my lovely little neighbor Courtney we made deliciously easy Chocolate Almondmilk and Banana Milkshakes. Since the chocolate is already perfectly blended into Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk it really was a breeze!  Ingredients: Vanilla ice Cream  Banana (we used a half a banana sliced per serving)  Blue Diamond Chocolate Almond Breeze Almondmilk Optional Garnish Whipped Cream  Directions: I used a single serve blending device however my method can be used with any blender. I like my milkshakes thick but drinkable with a straw. Fill container about 2/3 with ice cream and pour Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk slowly until the ice cream rises. Add sliced banana. Blend 10 seconds and check to see if it is to your desired consistency. Over blending results in thinner milkshakes. Top with whipped cream if desired an...

My sweet tooth solution is to balance out my treats with an ice cold glass of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk.  The hint of almonds is an added treat however the real bonus is there is zero saturated fat in any size serving of Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk. Even though 2% dairy milk is the staple at our house I just read it contains 3 grams of saturated fat per 1 one cup serving! A cup of 2% dairy milk also has 12 grams of carbohydrates while a one cup serving of Blue Diamond almond milk has only 2 grams of carbohydrates. My husband has decided he wants to cut down on carbohydrates and he chugs milk so this is a great option. Now I need to figure out how to cut carbs and saturated fat and carbs out of Danish :D This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk

carrottarts.blogspot.com Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk can be fun with a friend while you are talking about diet apps and how far it is between cheat days. My friend Paula and I were talking about how almondmilk can be good for your bones so I used skeleton glasses. With only 30 calories per one cup serving and no added sweeteners the sipping is easy. The shelf life far surpasses that of dairy products too if you live in a household that does not consume a lot of milk and they have shelf stable products you can keep in your pantry as a backup. I think it would be great for vacations too! What I do is try to balance my diet and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk is a tasty way to do that . It goes great in anything you normally add dairy milk to like cereal or coffee. My husband likes to use it with his protein mix. "This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk."
