Leche de almendras, or almond milk, is a creamy, plant-based beverage made from finely ground almonds and water, often sweetened or flavored with vanilla or cocoa. Originating in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, almond milk has grown popular worldwide as a dairy-free alternative. It is naturally lactose-free and vegan, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Low in calories and saturated fat, it is often fortified with nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin E, enhancing its nutritional profile. However, some commercial varieties may contain added sugars or thickeners, so opting for unsweetened versions is a healthier choice. Almond milk is also low in protein compared to cow’s milk, so it may not be ideal as a primary protein source. Its mild, nutty flavor makes it a versatile option for smoothies, coffee, and cooking across a variety of cuisines.
