I would think this is 100% times better for us when cutting....40 cals per serving. NO SUGAR. HEALTHY FATS and much more...

Almond milk is a milky drink made from ground almonds. Unlike animal milk, almond milk contains no cholesterol or lactose. It can be used as a substitute for animal milk in many recipes, and is also completely vegan. Commercial almond milk products such as brand Almond Breeze, come in plain, vanilla, or chocolate flavors. They are often enriched with vitamins. It can also be made at home by combining ground almonds with water in a blender. Vanilla flavoring and sweeteners are often added. However, users should be cautious not to use bitter almonds, since the combination of bitter almonds and water releases cyanide[1].

Cant beat it...

I know almond breeze makes different cal ones, 40, 60 , 90 etc...

so depending on diet and the wanted macros, this fit in great and is way better for me then SOY milk =]

never had rice milk, but i see rice as a carb right?
