Vegan Wednesday! Tree of Life Almond Milks!
Tree of Life almond milks are now available at Food For Thought! At $1.69 each, they are a bargain! Stop by and stock up today!Almond milk is my favorite when it comes to "milk substitutes". It has the best flavor, is great for baking and tasty in cereal. It also packs a good nutritional punch, check out these benefits:
*Good source of magnesium, therefore it's excellent for bone health.
*Loaded with manganese, selenium, and vitamin E. All are great for immune health, and help prevent cell damage.
*Packed with UNsaturated fat, meaning it's great for heart health.
*Almond skins are a good source of flavonoids, also great for a healthy heart.
*Rich in potassium, which helps you maintain a healthy blood pressure.
*Lots of healthy protein, which helps the body's growth and repair.
