For those of you who prefer plant based protein and are not into dairy (any reason) ALMONDS might be on your daily menu. Let me point out that raw and unsalted almonds are the best. I don’t eat much dairy and the best option to have instead is ALMOND MILK. When you pour yourself 1 cup (250ml) of ALMOND MILK you get 184mg of Calcium and minimal amount of fat (0.96gm).
