Almond milk is a beverage made from ground almonds, often used as a substitute for milk.
Unlike animal milk, almond milk contains neither cholesterol nor lactose. As it does not contain any animal products, it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians who abstain from dairy products. Commercial almond milk products often come in plain, vanilla or chocolate flavors and are sometimes enriched with vitamins. Almond milk can also be made at home by combining ground almonds with water in a blender. Vanilla flavoring and sweeteners are often added.
Famous quotes containing the words almond and/or milk:
“I want to go back, out of the bad stories,
But theres always the possibility that the next one . . .
No, its another almond tree, or a ring-swallowing frog . . .
Yet they are beautiful as we people them
With ourselves.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“I dont believe that you have to be a cow to know what milk is.”
—Ann Landers (b. 1918)
