Bangkok – Blue Diamond Growers, a US almond-growing agricultural cooperative in California, is giving Thailand’s coffee lovers a low-calorie caffeine hit with creamy Almond Breeze® Latte almond milk as a lighter alternative to traditional iced-coffee. Made with nutrient-rich almond milk and 100% Arabica coffee beans, Almond Breeze® Latte is just 60 kcal for a 180ml carton. This is far less than sweet and lower in calories than Thai-style coffees made with cream or condensed milk which the calories could be high as 3-4 ladles of rice.
Around 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed around the world each day and in Thailand coffee drinking has become an increasing part of everyday lifestyles. A great way to start the morning, coffee is a perfect afternoon pick-me-up for office workers. An average 300 cups are consumed per person each year in Thailand, putting it in the Top 50 coffee-loving nations.
The smooth, velvety taste of latte is a particular favorite. Almond Breeze® Latte almond milk is dairy-free, rich in Calcium and Vitamin E, and is made using the best California almonds, creating a subtle nutty tasting, creamy coffee. It appeals to not only weight-watchers but anyone who is lactose intolerant or chooses a plant-based diet.
In the run up to the festive season, Blue Diamond suggests adding a sweetly spiced twist with a warming Almond Breeze® Maple Cinnamon Latte recipe.
