Just a random question but i see theres a new dairy free Baileys made from almond milk it does have a wee bit of sugar but im wondering if it would be okay as an occasional treat instead of dark dark chocolate ?
 
Did I read right ..... Dairy free Baileys , wow I’m going to have a look at this. I used to like an occasional drop of Baylies in my coffee, but since I developed Lactose intolerance ive found I really should avoid it but .....🙄
 
Yes you read right honey it's on offer in tesco at £16 a bottle and a very pretty bottle it is too! But fab that it's dairy free ...cheers !

I've just had a look online its called Baileys Almande xx
 
I wonder if it’s ok in coffee.
I’ve been trying to find out the carb content
 
I guess it won't taste like the original but I figure almond milk and coconut milk are lower carb than cream so maybe okay as an occasional treat

Cream (in it's natural unsweetened form) only has very slightly more carbs than almond milk so would'nt though there was much difference. Shame they don't print the carb content on the bottles.
 
I've tried to look it up but can't work out the measurements. Regular Bailey's is around 9g carb per glass. Bailey's Alamande is 4g carb per 1.5oz. Is 1.5oz a glass?

If you could look for the nutrition, could you not have googled that too? lol
According to google 1.5 imperial fluid ounce is 42.6196 ml to be precise haha xx
 
I really miss Bailey's, not had any since diagnosis. I googled the carb content and it said 7.4 carbs per 37ml serving, but I got the info from a weight loss website so I'm not sure if that's accurate.
 
Depends what size glass they count as a serving. I have always contended that it should 'really' be served in a liqueur glass same as you would Tia Maria, Grand Marnier etc.

Indeed we have some beautiful liqueur glasses along with all the rest of the cut glassware.

But frankly even after a 4 course dinner with wine and all the trimmings - I'd consider it dead mingy unless you left the uncorked bottle of whatever on the table and invited me to refill as required!

A lot of people drink Bailey's as if it were wine or eg a G&T though so the carb, calorie and everything else content multiplies accordingly!

When you said that all I could picture in my mind was Homer using his skull like a bread bin. Filling donuts directly into the empty brain cavity.lol[/QUOTE]
That was me before diagnosis.:D
 
It's Ok Kaylz we are perfectly capable as a two man band. Mark is more towards your age range and seems to be just as accident prone (no offence Mark):D
How exactly am I accident prone? I haven't broken anything, so I don't see where your getting that from, please do explain :confused: xx
