What Is Almond Milk?

Almond milk is a plant-based milk alternative that is made from blended almonds. To make almond milk, almonds are soaked in water overnight. Once softened, the almonds are blended and strained to create a milk-like substance. Salt, spices and sweeteners can be added to the almond milk to boost its flavor. Homemade almond milk usually contains more nut properties and nutrients, whereas store-bought almond milk tends to have higher water content. Almond milk is easy to make and is naturally plant-based and dairy free. This makes it an excellent option for vegans and people with a cow's milk allergy. Additionally, compared to other plant-based milk, almond milk tends to be lower in calories and carbohydrates, making it a valuable option for individuals following a specific diet.
