Unsweetened almond milk has less than half the calories of skim dairy milk. It has the same consistency of whole milk, and it has more vitamins and minerals than soy milk. If you can handle tree-nuts, then you have no excuse not to use almond milk every day of your life.With so many diets and eating habits out there-- like vegan, gluten-free, and low-carb-- it can be confusing to try keeping up with what kind of food is acceptable for specialty eaters. The beauty of almond milk is that it fits all of those eating habits and so many more.
