Alfredo Sauce

     Don't you just love learning new things!?  I discovered Tami at The Nutmeg Notebook, and learned about a healthy Alfredo Sauce substitute that you are going to appreciate.  Her recipe calls for Almond Milk, so I tried that along with a batch made with 0% Greek Yogurt, and a low fat Cottage Cheese.  Here are the result for each ENTIRE recipe:  Almond Milk is 85.5 calories, 17.8g carbs, 6.6g fiber, 11.2g net carbs, 6.1g protein and 1g fat.  The zero fat Greek Yogurt is 108 calories, 19.2g carbs, 6.6g fiber, 12.6g net carbs, 11.8g protein and .3g fat.  The low fat Cottage Cheese is 123 calories, 20g carbs, 6.6g fiber, 13.4g net carbs, 12.3g protein and 1.6g fat.  These were all very nice in flavor and would make a great addition to any meal.  I topped mine on a salad with steamed veggies, roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes and mini Bell Peppers...and savored every bite!  #yum
