Love almond milk? You're better off making almond milk from scratch than opting for the store-bought kind. Studies reveal that store-bought almond milk is made from a mix of sweeteners with very little almond milk mixed in. These additives are not only fattening, they may be linked to certain diseases.
Almond milk has become a popular substitute for dairy milk. It is high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Thankfully, making almond milk from scratch is easier. It's also better for the health than consuming almond milk sold at the local supermarket.
Almonds are incredibly healthy and provide numerous health benefits, as they are a rich source of healthy fats, protein, flavonoids, antioxidants, and beneficial phenols.
Therefore, their addition to your regular diet will provide lots of benefits and lots of body energy. However, even though numerous people consume it and believe it is even healthier than dairy, the milk variant is not as healthy as they think.
Namely, the store-bought almond milk includes more water, sweeteners, and additives, than almonds. The average carton of this milk has only a handful of almonds.
Research has found only 2 percent of almonds in the UK almond milk brand Alpro, and the rest is a mixture of sweeteners, water, added A,E, D vitamins, and carrageenan (a thickening agent).
Therefore, you need to drink the entire carton in order to get the needed nutrients. This explains the low amount of calories in it, as a cup contains only 30 calories, while a serving of almonds has 160 calories. Additionally, the nut milk costs 4 dollars per half a gallon.
Yet, due to the profits of the almond milk industry, these facts are not publicly revealed.
