SWAPS FOR SOYMILK
We call for light vanilla soymilk because it’s sweet and creamy, with fewer calories than regular milk (even the fat-free kind). A cup of light vanilla soymilk has about 70 calories and 2g fat. But if you avoid soy, check out these swaps …
*Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze Super-low in calories (40 per cup!) and extremely delicious. Depending on your taste buds, you might want to add a no-calorie sweetener packet since this is unsweetened, unlike most vanilla soymilk.
*So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage A little higher in fat, but it’s creamy and amazing and has just 50 calories per cup. Feel free to zazzle it up with some calorie-free sweetener.
*Fat-Free Dairy Milk It has about 20 extra calories per cup, but it’ll work. It will save you some fat and add a little protein, but it isn’t as creamy as the others. Add a small amount of calorie-free sweetener.
