These extra calories once taken daily eventually lead to accumulation of unwanted fats in the body. These fats have adverse effects on the health of individuals. There are also many people who have milk allergies or they may have a hard time digesting milk. Almond milk is therefore the great option for milk lovers who love the creamy taste, but want to get away from the unhealthy fats and animal proteins. Almond milk can be bought commercially and can also be easily made at home. This is done by mixing ground almonds and water in a blender.
