Almond Milk

Almond milk is a plant milk with a creamy texture and nutty taste. It contains neither cholesterol nor lactose, and is often consumed by the lactose-intolerant and others who want to avoid dairy products, including vegans. Commercial almond milk comes in sweetened, unsweetened, plain, vanilla and chocolate flavors, and is usually enriched with vitamins. It can also be made at home using a blender, almonds and water.

In the US sales of almond milk overtook soy milk in 2013 and in the UK in 2014, where sales increased from 36 million liters in 2011 to 92 million in 2013.
