If you’re looking for alternatives to cow’s milk, that carton of almond milk in the grocery store might catch your eye. And yes—it’s a better choice for you than dairy, which is why I allow the unsweetened version on my diets (if it’s carrageenan-free, which I’ll explain shortly). But before you start using it, you need to know both the pros and the cons of this alternative milk.
The benefits of almond milk
First, let’s talk about the upsides of drinking almond milk. It’s low in carbs and calories, and it provides you with a little bit of protein and a good dose of vitamins and minerals (although most of these nutrients are added by the manufacturers). Unlike cow’s milk, it’s not inflammatory—if it’s free of sugar and a dangerous additive I’ll talk about in a minute—and it doesn’t load you with hormones that are bad for your body. I don’t consider it as good a choice as canned coconut milk, which has a better fat profile and more overall health benefits, but it definitely beats the stuff from the cow.
What’s more, almond milk is smooth and silky and tasty. It makes a great shake or smoothie, and it can satisfy your desire for a shot of milk in your morning coffee.
The drawbacks to using commercial almond milk
Now, let’s talk about the downsides of almond milk. First, commercial almond milk is nearly all water and only about 2% almonds (surprising, isn’t it?), so you’re not getting much nutrition for your money. Second, if you’re one of the many people who are sensitive or allergic to nuts, drinking almond milk can cause stomach upsets or other symptoms.
Third, commercial almond milk often contains added sugar, flavorings, and other questionable ingredients. And most importantly, it frequently contains an additive called carrageenan.
Carrageenan is an emulsifier that manufacturers add to almond milk so you don’t need to shake the carton to blend the contents. It’s made from red algae or seaweed, so you’d expect it to be good for you—but it’s not. In fact, it’s very, very bad news.
Researcher Joanne Tobacman, who’s studied carrageenan for years, has lobbied the government to ban it as a food additive. Her research implicates carrageenan as a culprit in gastrointestinal malignancy and breast cancer. In addition, her studies indicate that carrageenan may contribute to glucose intolerance and insulin insensitivity, both of which are steps on the road to diabetes.
Moreover, Tobacman isn’t giving mice massive doses of carrageenan. In fact, the mice in her diabetes research consume less carrageenan per body weight than the average American. What’s more, she’s using the same food-grade form that manufacturers use.
In short, even small doses of carrageenan may inflame your body and put you at higher risk for cancer, bowel problems, or diabetes. Does that sound like something you want in your diet? Nope.
What’s the answer? Buy smart—or make your own
Now that you know the bad news, let’s get back to the good news. If you read labels carefully, you can find brands of almond milk that don’t contain carrageenan, sugar, or other unnecessary ingredients. These are fine to use if you’re not allergic or sensitive to nuts.
Better yet, here’s a simple solution: make your own almond milk at home! It’s fun, it’s easy, and you’ll wind up with a milk that has no additives and contains more protein than the store-bought variety.
Making your own almond milk takes just a few minutes of actual work. (The rest is soaking time.) Here’s how to do it.
MAKE-IT-YOURSELF ALMOND MILK
Prep time: 10 min • Yield: about 5 cups
Ingredients
1 ½ cups whole raw almonds, optionally blanched
4 cups purified water for almond milk; more for soaking
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
Directions
Place almonds in a medium bowl. Cover with water and let them soak for at least 4 hours, or up to 2 days for creamier almond milk.
Drain the water and place almonds in blender. Add 2 cups water and blend to a creamy paste. Add the other 2 cups of water, vanilla, and preferred sweetener. Blend for 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and adjust vanilla or sweetener if desired.
Strain the almond milk in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth or in a nut bag. Drain all the milk from the solids. Refrigerate.
Notes
You can reserve the solids, dehydrate, and pulse in blender to create almond meal/flour.
Variations
Almond milk tastes great in any of my Collagen shakes or cooler.
For Chocolate Almond Milk, use melted dark chocolate or cacao powder. Melt about 1/3 to ½ cup dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Add about a cup of milk to the chocolate and stir. Mix with the rest of the almond milk and blend well. Taste and adjust sweetener as desired. A dash of salt brings out the flavors.
To make chocolate milk with cacao, put about ¼ to 1/3 cup cacao powder in a small bowl. Warm about 1 cup of the almond milk, add cacao and stir until fully dissolved. Mix with the rest of the almond milk and blend well. Taste and adjust sweetener as desired. A dash of salt brings out the flavors.
For Strawberry Almond Milk, add ½ to ¾ cup fresh or frozen strawberries to blender and add almond milk. Blend thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetener as desired. If you don’t want any seeds in the milk, pour through a fine mesh sieve.
For Mango Almond Milk, add ½ to ¾ cup fresh ripe mango to blender and add almond milk. Blend thoroughly. Taste and adjust sweetener as desired.
Enjoy!

I absolutely love a “two-fer”—and I don’t just mean a BOGO sale at the shoe store. I also love it when I can combine the power of two superfoods in a single recipe.
That’s why I’m excited about sharing one of my favorite recipes with you today—Golden Bone Broth, which gives you the benefits of bone broth (more on that here, if you’re new to it) and the spice turmeric. Golden Bone Broth is warm and satisfying, and a mug of it is pure bliss for your body and soul after a stressful day. What’s more, it’s serious medicine that can help you stay healthy for life.
Now, I know most of you are familiar with bone broth, and you’re already drinking it (and adding it to pot roasts, chili, and even cocktails) to get all of its benefits—benefits that include healing your gut, melting off belly fat, beautifying your skin and hair, and protecting your joints.
your gut, melting off belly fat, beautifying your skin and hair, and protecting your joints.
But did you know that adding turmeric to that broth can make it even better for you? Here’s the story.
The amazing benefits of turmeric
Turmeric contains curcumin, a beautiful yellow substance that’s one of nature’s most potent natural healers. Traditional cultures around the world revere curcumin for its healing properties, and Western scientists are now giving it the attention it deserves. Here are just some of the secrets they’re uncovering about curcumin’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and infection-fighting powers:
It’s a strong pain-killer that doctors are now using to treat pain due to everything from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis to osteoarthritis and dental procedures. In fact, research shows that curcumin can be even more effective than the prescription drug Voltaren in reducing arthritis pain.
It helps prevent diabetes or reduce complications from the disease. Curcumin fights diabetes in a variety of ways—for instance, by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, lowering blood glucose, and helping to prevent the formation of molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that do serious damage to the body.
It fights cancer by inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells. Studies show that curcumin, either alone or in combination with other substances, can help fight colorectal, pancreatic, breast, brain, and head and neck cancers.
It’s thermogenic, which means that it encourages your body to “heat up” and burn more energy—and that translates into a slimmer belly.
It lowers total cholesterol while raising levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
It speeds the healing of wounds and protects against sun-related skin damage.
It can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
It makes your gut healthier. Research shows that curcumin can increase bacterial richness (one key to a healthy microbiome) and foster the growth of beneficial bacteria.
It protects neurons from damage and may help to prevent or slow Alzheimer’s disease.
It helps prevent dangerous blood clots.
It fights the germs that cause periodontal disease and can help stop the flu from infecting you. And if your kids are prone to ear infections, it may help to reduce this problem.
It’s a detoxifier that can help protect your cells against damage due to heavy metals such as mercury.
That’s an awesome list of benefits—and one of the most remarkable things about curcumin is that it gives you all this disease-fighting power without any of the severe side effects that drugs can have. That means that it’s all upside, and no downside!
So seriously… if you aren’t adding turmeric and its gift of healing curcumin to your diet, it’s time to start. And here’s one of the easiest ways in the world to do it.
And note that your body’s ability to absorb and utilize turmeric’s active compounds is vastly improved when it’s paired with black pepper and/or fat.
Bone broth + turmeric = magic!
There are lots of wonderful ways to use turmeric—for instance, in smoothies, scrambled eggs, soups, or the turmeric tea recipe I have here. But nothing beats combining it with bone broth (and a little coconut milk to make it smooth and creamy). Here’s the recipe… easy, delicious, and loaded with healing power.
Salud!
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients:
8 ounces Bone Broth or Collagen Broth To Go
1/4 to 1/3 cup of coconut milk
1/2 tsp ground turmeric powder or 1 1/2 tsp fresh ground turmeric
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove of garlic
Directions:Add all ingredients to a small pot and heat on medium until the bone broth reaches and slight rolling boil.
Note: Try a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or cinnamon for added thermogenic properties

Easy…consume foods—such as chicory root—and take prebiotics that promote a healthy gut system.
Ingredients like chicory root don’t taste great on their own. That’s why I’ve blended them into several of my products, such as my Collagen Shakes.
And, to make ingesting prebiotics and gut-healing ingredients, such as chicory root, even more appetizing, I’ve thrown together a few delicious shake recipes.
My favorite recipe right now is my Black Cherry Almond shake, and I’m going to teach you how to mix it up right now! Here’s how it’s made…
Ingredients:
1 cup water, unsweetened coconut milk, or unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons coconut cream or ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk

Gut-Healing Kimchi from the 10-Day Belly Slimdown
by Dr. Kellyann
on Jun 12 2018
Gut-Healing Kimchi Recipe from The 10-Day Belly Slimdown
PREP TIME: 30 MIN. (ACTIVE) | YIELD: ABOUT 4 CUPS
1 medium head napa cabbage
¼ cup Celtic or pink Himalayan salt (do not use iodized salt)
Filtered, nonchlorinated water
5 garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (about ½-inch knob)
2 tablespoons fish sauce or water
1 to 5 tablespoons Korean red pepper flakes (gochugaru; see Notes)
¾ cup peeled daikon matchsticks
4 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
Wash the cabbage, cut it lengthwise into 2-inch-thick slices, and discard the center core. Put the cabbage in a large bowl and add the salt. Massage with your hands for a few minutes until it starts to soften, cover with filtered water, place a plate on top of the cabbage, and weight the plate down with something heavy, such as a can of tomatoes.
Let stand at room temperature for about 1½ hours. Put the cabbage in a colander and rinse well at least three times. Set aside to drain for 15 minutes while you make the seasoning paste. In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, fish sauce or water, and Korean red pepper flakes to make a paste. Add the daikon, scallions, and carrots. Squeeze out any moisture left in the cabbage and combine it with the other vegetables and spicy paste.
Wearing rubber gloves, gently mix all the ingredients together and pack into a clean glass jar until the liquid rises above the vegetables. Leaving at least 1 to 2 inches of headroom, loosely seal the jar, and put it on a plate or in a bowl to collect any juices that overflow while the kimchi ferments. Keep the mixture at room temperature so the vegetables can ferment; do not refrigerate. Open the jar once daily to pack down the vegetables using a clean utensil and allow the gases produced during fermentation to be released.
This is also the time to taste it to see if it is fermented to your liking. After tasting, do NOT insert the utensil back into the kimchi. You will likely want 2 to 4 days of fermentation, unless you’re a hard-core kimchi fan. The longer it ferments, the stronger it gets. When done, refrigerate. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
NOTES: Fermented foods heal the gut by feeding it healthy bacteria. Korean red pepper flakes, or gochugaru, is a sun-dried Korean chile pepper that has been ground to a flaky/powdery texture. You can find it online or in Asian groceries. It is very hot and spicy with a bit of smokiness. Use 1 to 5 tablespoons depending on how hot you like your kimchi; if you are making it for the first time, start with about 2 tablespoons.
