Almond milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from finely ground almonds and water, often flavored or sweetened. Rooted in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, it has gained global popularity as a dairy-free option suitable for vegan, lactose-intolerant, or health-conscious individuals. One serving (typically 1 cup) is low in calories, averaging 30-50 calories for unsweetened varieties, and contains key nutrients like vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant aiding skin and immune health. Commercial almond milk is often fortified with calcium and vitamin D for bone health. However, it is low in protein compared to cow’s milk or soy milk, offering only 1 gram per serving. Almond milk is naturally cholesterol-free and has minimal saturated fat, making it heart-friendly. Be mindful, though, of added sugars in flavored or sweetened versions, which can affect its nutritional value. Perfect for smoothies, cereals, or recipes, almond milk is versatile and nutritious.
