Chocolate Noms

Two awesome tips for getting delicious, delicious chocolate on the lactose and gluten free front.

Dark Chocolate Almond Milk by Silk. 

No, I do not like Silk.  They're the soy people and I hate soy in general because it's slimy, but somehow they made the almond milk slimy too.  So for plain almond milk I go with Almond Breeze.  But the dark chocolate almond milk?  Holy crap.  You know how when you mix chocolate milk just right you get a ribbon of unmixed chocolate in every sip?  THIS HAS THAT AND IT TASTES LIKE COCOA PEBBLES MILK!  That almondy aftertaste is reminiscent of cereal milk and that's the sweetest part of the damn bowl if you ask me!

And speaking of Cocoa Pebbles, I recently discovered that they're gluten free.  If that's not awesome enough for you, how about Cocoa Pebbles Treats!  They say they're gluten free right on the box, unlike the Rice Krispies Treats that do not say either way and for some reason contain mysterious "natural flavorings."  Of course you can just make the treats yourself and know what's in them, but as for sending snacks to school for field trips, it's nice to be able to grab a box of a sweet snack alternative to the cookies that will most likely be given to the rest of the students.

Wade's teacher has been giving him a nice marshmallow-Skittles mix on birthdays, which is great and he loves it, but he's going to the library twice this week across town where I know for sure they serve cookies.  Pebbles Treats are awesome.

Fruity Pebbles are also gluten free, just in case you care.
