Sweet almond milk is a creamy, dairy-free beverage made by blending almonds with water, then straining the mixture to create a smooth base. Often sweetened with natural sugars or flavored with vanilla, it has origins in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, where almond-based drinks have been enjoyed for centuries. Rich in vitamins E and D, it serves as a plant-based alternative to cow’s milk, suitable for vegans and those with lactose intolerance. Almond milk is naturally low in calories and saturated fat while providing antioxidants that promote skin and heart health. However, store-bought varieties may contain added sugars and preservatives, so homemade or unsweetened options are often recommended for maximum nutritional benefit. While it doesn’t match the protein levels of dairy or soy milk, it is a versatile and flavorful choice for smoothies, coffee, cereals, and baking.
