Almond milk is a vegetable drink made from ground almond grains and mixed with water. It is often used as an alternative to cow's milk by people who are intolerant to lactose or who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Almond milk has a smooth and creamy texture and a soft and slightly almond flavor. It is often used in smoothies, cereals, hot drinks and pastry recipes. Almond milk is rich in vitamins and minerals, in particular vitamin E and calcium. However, it does not contain as much protein as cow's milk and it does not provide the same amount of vitamin B12, it is therefore recommended to complete it with other sources of protein and vitamin B12 if you follow a vegetarian diet or vegan.
