A tasty way to celebrate Valentine’s day is to whip up some delicious festive treats. Here to help is registered dietitian Bonnie Taub Dix, the award winning author of Read it Before You Eat It. Thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate it.
So why is it important to know the ingredients in the products we buy? Well, in my book, I show that the food label is the key to unlocking what’s really in our food. For example, if you look at the label of regular dairy milk, you’ll find that
And you compare it to alternative milks, you’ll find that plant based products like almond milk, for example, tend to have fewer calories, but they have a wealth of nutrients. And I’m thrilled to be here today to team up with almond Bree to share some of our favorite plant based recipes with you.
That’s fantastic. What is something that is both new and good for us that people should add to their diet this year? Ah, well, consumers are looking for alternatives to dairy milk that help to satisfy their taste buds and provide a creamy texture but also meet their nutrient needs. So today,
I’m excited to tell you that Almond Breeze launched a new product called Original Almond and oat blend. And they have taken the flavor of almond milk and compared it with the creaminess of oat milk and made the perfect blend. And it also,
This almond and oat blend has less calories and less sugar than most oat milk, but it has 50% more calcium than dairy milk. Oh, wow. That’s pretty impressive. That’s kind of cool. I didn’t, I didn’t realize that they, they blended almond and oat milk together. That’s very cool. That sounds actually pretty tasty.
So, can you share a tasty dish or a fun recipe for Valentine’s Day? Yeah. Well, whether it’s Valentine’s Day or beyond, you will love our almond Bree strawberry smoothie and I wish you could smell these muffins. These are my banana almond muffins, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s something sweet or something savory.
What I love about almond and O blend is that it fits seamlessly into any recipe in a 1 to 1 swap. You could just swap out dairy milk and swap in almond breeze. Easy enough. And I’ll tell you what, I am a huge fan of strawberries.
So I am eyeing that smoothie over there. So, what’s unique about this new plant based option? Well, since we’re talking about Valentine’s Day almond Bree found a way to combine the delicious flavor of California grown almonds with the creaminess of oats to make this plant based beverage that not
Only is good for you but also if you are lactose intolerant or you have a dairy allergy or you’re vegetarian or vegan or you’re just trying to cut back on sugar or your calorie intake. This milk is the perfect blend for you.
Right on. So what’s another tasty Valentine’s Day recipe or healthy suggestion? You got? Well, whether it’s for you or anyone you love, you should try my zucchini noodles with almond sauce. The blend of almond milk and oat milk make this creamy rich sauce. It also pairs perfectly with pasta. But why stop there.
You could pour this almond and oat blend in your coffee, froth it in your smoothie anywhere you would otherwise use dairy milk. Just swap it in one for one in any of your favorite recipes. Sounds very delicious. I appreciate you hanging out with us this morning before I let you go.
