Introduction

I'm a type II diabetic and I love chocolate. I also have developed a sensitivity to the casein in milk so when I discovered Almond Breeze almond milk I was overjoyed! I really hate the taste of soy and rice milks and because of the diabetes I have to watch my carbs...soy and rice milk have the same amount of carbs per glass as a regular glass of milk...almond milk has less than half and the unsweetened varieties have only 2 grams of carbs per serving!! I made this with the unsweetened kind but you can always sweeten it up with some splenda or stevia or if you aren't watching your carbs you could use the sweetened chocolate almond milk or just increase the amount of banana used.
