Make your own healthy almond milk that you can use to drink or in recipes for those with lactose intolerance issues.
If you are looking for a good alternative to cow’s milk, look no further! Almond milk has become a favorite around our place – really tasty, and packed full of nutrition! Protein, healthy fats, calcium, and tons of vitamins…..If you don’t believe me, go check out the facts on almonds for yourself. It’s super easy to make. And you can easily substitute the almonds for rice, although a lot of the nutritional benefits will be lacking with rice.
