Supermarket Tour:Recommended Products to Try
You may have noticed that I discussed nut products during my last Supermarket Tour post (mini packs of peanut butter and almond butter). Todays post is also on nuts. No, I don’t have an obsession with nuts! I just think these products are worth trying … and they are portion controlled. In addition, nuts and nut butters are loaded with health benefits.
Who can eat ONE ounce of nuts? (FYI – this would be 24 almonds). Not me! Most people I know have problems with portion control when it comes to nuts.

Almond Breeze Beverage, Unsweetened Vanilla Flavor
One of my clients (S.G.) turned me on to this product. Almond Breeze® is a non-dairy beverage made from real almonds, all 
natural, smooth and creamy with a hint of almonds. I think it tastes great. You can add it to your cereal or make throw in some fruit and make a smoothie. It also comes in unflavored and chocolate.

If anyone has spotted a new product that tastes good (and is healthy!)- please send it in to CGB!
I hear…………. Almond Breeze vanilla sweetened and now unsweetened should be in the refrigerated sections soon if not already (used to only be boxed on the shelves). I haven’t had any luck finding it at wal-mart or local grocers yet though.
