Almond milk is created by blending whole almonds with water in order to form a liquid with similar characteristics to dairy milk, yet contains significantly fewer calories and no saturated fat. Furthermore, almond milk naturally free of lactose and cholesterol making it an excellent option for anyone trying to limit animal products consumption.

Note that while plant-based milks tend to have lower calories than their dairy counterparts, they tend to contain more added sugar. Therefore, when selecting products of this kind it is crucial that one reads through and carefully considers any labels related to added sugar content in order to select those with minimal added sugar content.

Almond milk’s glycemic index score of 49 compares favorably to skimmed cow’s milk’s score of 37; this indicates a significantly slower impact on blood glucose levels, making it suitable for those living with diabetes or those who adhere to low-carb diets.

Almond milk is an excellent source of healthy fats and essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium, while also naturally low in sodium with no saturated or trans fatty acids – making it an excellent addition to any heart-healthy diet.

How to Put Almond Milk Into Coffee

While cold almond milk is delicious on its own, for an irresistibly creamy experience combine it with freshly-brewed espresso and some frothed almond milk. To create a delectable almond milk cappuccino simply heat your almond milk to around 160degF before mixing with your espresso; be careful not to overheat, which could result in it breaking down and creating less-than-creamy beverages!

If you prefer making cold almond milk lattes, simply combine your coffee with some ice cubes and top it off with some frothed almond milk froth for a deliciously refreshing start to your day. Perfect if you’re trying to reduce caffeine or just appreciate its refreshing taste!

Trying out different garnishes to give your latte some added flair? Be adventurous; some popular options include cinnamon, chocolate shavings and whipped cream – although be mindful not to include high-calorie syrups or sweeteners that could quickly rack up in calories! An impressive advantage to home-making your latte is the reduced price; even using sweetened almond milk, home-brewed lattes can come out at under $1 per serving – providing an economical alternative to costly cafe lattes filled with sugar-sweetener. Making an amazingly satisfying latte for only 50 calories a serving is easy if you use unsweetened almond milk and opt for natural sweeteners like stevia, which has no artificial ingredients or is low cal.
