Recipe Notes
When you buy almond milk, check the ingredients, make sure carageenan is NOT included. It is a thickener but has also been linked to GI cancer. It can be found in cottage cheese, ice cream, yogurt and processed meats. Almond milk ingredients should only be almonds and water and sometimes flavored with vanilla, but I would rather flavor it myself with good quality vanilla extract or real vanilla bean. Whole Foods 365 Almond Milk does not have carageenan.
