Almond Milk
A quick and easy recipe to add to your healthy kitchen
Have you tried making almond milk yet? I love how easy and versatile it is to prepare. You can sweeten or not– drink it, use in cereal, matcha tea lattes, smoothies, or as a replacement in recipes calling for milk. You can even freeze almond milk to use at a later time.
It’s a delicious, healthy, dairy-free alternative worth your consideration.
Nuts have numerous health benefits too. For example, epidemiologic studies have associated nut consumption with helping to reduce heart disease, in addition to the beneficial effects on hypertension, cancer, and inflammation.
Studies also show that nuts have a cholesterol-lowering effect. And contrary to popular belief, another study shows a handful of nuts a day is preventive for weight gain.
Give it a try. You might just love it!
