What is almond milk?
Almond milk is one of the dairy-free alternatives for milk, derived from almond nuts. It doesn't taste very nutty though it's derived from nuts. It has a mild nutty flavor. However, if you are allergic to nuts, you can find alternative dairy options like soy milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, etc.
It's a nutritious substitute for dairy. It's low in calories and beneficial for human health. However, since the almond milk is made with blanched almonds and has been watered down, it has relatively less fiber and antioxidants as compared to the nuts themselves.
