Cassi--where do you buy the Almond Breeze? Which one do you use? It counts as a condiment? How does it taste in comparison to milk/or soy milk? I really like the 8th Continent light vanilla right now in my cereal or a little with my oatmeal but the idea of not burning a dairy is appealing.

The Almond Breeze comes in a 32 oz carton and it is unrefrigerated. I get mine in the organic section of the grocery store with the other soy milks, rice dream, etc. They also make vanilla and chocolate, but they have 90 calories, so I'm sure it's more than 2 condiments. But... I just looked at the e-mail the dietician sent me and the information I was given was 40 calories not 60. I will re-send this to the dietician today and see what response I get.

Cassi and Lea Ann: I drink the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla flavor and 8oz (1 cup) has 40 calories.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.bluediamond.com/retail/breeze/index.cfm and the different flavors they have. I try to stick to the Unsweetened kind because of the lower calories.

I bought the original because I didn't know the unsweetened existed. Anyhoo, I e-mailed the dietician with both to get clarification on how to count this. Since I already have my meals planned until Friday, I figure if I go over by 40 calories, it shouldn't result in a gain. I'm takin' my chances, but only for a few more days.

thanks guys--I've called them and finally found it at Albertsons--called Alberstons and they only have the sweetened but will order so maybe soon! sounds good though.
