  1. I can't wait to try the Shirataki noodles. I already bought and tried the almond milk. I like it! Do you get it sweetened or unsweetened? I got sweetened and will see if I like unsweetened next time.

  2. I get unsweetened - just cause the calories are a lot less and in my coffee, I don't notice it. However... I don't like my coffee sweet at all, so maybe that's why I'm good with the unsweetened.

  3. Yea the sweetened was sweeter than my usual Lactaid and more than Jasmyn's regular 2% milk. I will definitely try unsweetened next time.
