At any given moment, I usually have 3 - 4 different kinds of Silk almondmilk in my fridge: Vanilla Unsweetened, Dark Chocolate, Protein + Fiber Original, and Almond/Coconut Blend.  When I first started using almondmilk, it was always in sweet scenarios -- in a breakfast smoothie, in muffins, in brownies, in cobbler, in pie etc... the vanilla flavor was my go-to.

BUT, my opinion of zucchini was drastically change by a certain new kitchen tool: the spiralizer. ... Read more » about Creamy (Vegan) Red Pepper Alfredo over Zoodles
