The Other Milk Alternative


Milk, as we have learnt since we were little kids, is the most important food for the body as we grow up and even after we become adults. This is because milk possesses all the required proteins, fats, calcium and nutrition that is required foe the proper functioning of the body. Milk is necessary for strong bones, teeth and so many days to day functions of our body. While cow and buffalo milk are still prevalent and rightly so in the nutrition market as sources of proper nutrition for the body, newer or rather unconventional types of milks are also getting accepted in the urban parts of the country. One such example is that of almond milk. This low-calorie nutritious milk has become very popular in recent times. While this is not the ‘actual’ milk, it is being used as a substitute in many houses.

Almond milk is made from crushed almonds, with water added to it and then this mixture is filtered to get liquid that looks exactly like normal milk would. There are even flavours available in almond milk, such as, chocolate almond milk, vanilla flavoured almond milk etc. The taste of typical almond milk is a lot like any almond milk shake. Almond is known to be a big source of vitamin E and other minerals that improve or boost our memory too. For people who are lactose intolerant or cannot have milk due to any other reasons, almond milk becomes a blessing for them. They can very well enjoy the experience of having milk and also not risk their health in any way. While almond milk can also be made at home, the process could seem a bit too tedious. Hence, there are many brands available in the market that provide you with good tasting almond milk, without any chunks.
