Almond Milk

Lactose intolerants rejoice! A delicious substitute for milk, and an alternative to chalky soy, is Almond Milk, a smooth liquid derived from almonds that can be enjoyed on its own or substituted in your favorite recipes. It’s probably no surprise that almond milk embodies a nutty flavor, but it’s also incredibly healthy, rich in, among other things, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. In fact, it’s arguable the healthiest, and tastiest, of all milk substitutes! In the blustery winter months, try heating almond milk with honey and vanilla, for a cold-weather drink that will knock your woolen socks off. If you don’t like the boxed version, or simply can’t find Almond Milk at your local grocery store, you can make it at home; grind almonds in a coffee grinder, blend them with water, and strain. Delicious! And it won’t hurt your dairy-sensitive tummy.
