I've been switching my milk to almond milk since I discovered I get an upset stomach with normal milk. But then again, we don't usually drink milk at home. (I drink yakult though 😅)
My partner tried the almond milk one time and he didn't like it. I'm surprised your husband said it was good. Maybe that brand makes great almond milk? I can't find that brand here though.. 残念です

Good luck with cutting down sweets! I think that's hard for me to do. Sometimes I crave for cakes 😅
