I'll make my own thanks...

Quitting sugar has been one of my finest life changes.  It has opened up a whole new world of food, recipes and cleaner eating.

I doooo love coffee.  While I'm happy to have black/herbal teas, I love a nice milky coffee.  The hypothyroidism medication I take shouldn't be followed with dairy for at least 2 hours.  I take my medication on an empty stomach as soon as I wake up and I struggle to wait the 2 hours before enjoying my first coffee so I decided to switch to almond milk for the first one.

Last week, I learned that I had foolishly been sucked in to packaged almond milk labels (without reading the fine print).  I was horrified!  It was sweetened with agave syrup.  That's when I decided that it was time to make my own.

The last image drew an enormous smile on my face.  So simple.  I didn't add any sweeteners and it should last a week in the fridge.

Sweet!
