Review of 'Blue Diamond Almonds' Almond Breeze Chocolate

Almond Breeze -- Chocolate (vegan, gluten free)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: oh wow. This is great. It's super sweet, chocolatey and rich. It makes any cereal taste phenomenal. I can't wait to add it to my chocolate protein powder for an epic chocolate experience. One cup is pretty much the same calorie count as a cup of orange juice and has 30% calcium. Furthermore, the ingredients are simple and clean. I highly recommend this.

Where to buy: Freshco, Fortinos, Sobeys, Bulk Barn

Sure, this is high in sugars, but because it's so damn delicious and has 30% calcium, I'd gladly watch my sugar intake for the rest of the day :) I'm happy the I don't have to worry about genetically modified or artificial ingredients.
