How is Almond Milk Made?

What’s your first thought when you think of milk? Perhaps a pasture full of cows roaming around in a grassy field?

That’s because for a long time milk came to us in one general form, from cows. Before the dawn of plant-based, alternative milk, the way to collected milk for consumption was to milk a female cow and collect the excretions from her udders.

And while that certainly is still the case when it comes to dairy, alternative milk varieties are now a mainstay in our diets, too. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that the idea of almond milk took hold. 

If you’re a fan of this type of milk then you have probably wondered to yourself “how is almond milk made”? When you think about it, it seems odd that you can get milk from an almond, and that it must be a complicated process. But is it? Let’s explore how this plant-based milk is made.

How Almond Milk Is Made

Milk derived from almonds contains just a few simple ingredients and just a few quick steps. We’d love to tell you that the process is long, painstaking, and laborious, but that’s not the truth. It’s actually very simple and straightforward and you can even make it at your own home if you wish. 

Almond milk is created by blending almonds and water and then straining the mixture to remove the solids. You can use a cheesecloth or a special nut cloth to strain the mixture. The resulting liquid is smooth, creamy milk that has a wonderful texture and taste.

The flavor is slightly nutty and the texture resembles that of regular milk. This is why milk made from almonds is the most popular choice for those who are dairy intolerant, allergic to dairy, or who live a vegan lifestyle.

While it’s pretty simple to make this type of milk at home, it can also be a lot more expensive than if you were to purchase some at your local grocer or online through a commercial retailer. 

What Are The Health Benefits of Drinking Almond Milk?

Now that you know how simple the process is for making this milk and how few ingredients are required, it’s time to decide if it’s the right milk alternative for you.

Take a look at some of the health benefits of almond milk and weigh them against dairy milk. Milk from almonds contains:

  • A high concentration of vitamins and minerals
  • Extremely low sugar per serving
  • Low calories per serving
  • An awesome source of calcium and Vitamin D
  • No lactose making it perfect for those who are lactose intolerant
  • A great balance of potassium and phosphorus

With higher concentrations of vital nutrients and fewer calories, it’s easy to see why this plant-based milk option has quickly become the most popular non-dairy milk alternative. Furthermore, the taste is exceptional!

So whether you’re an almond milk connoisseur or you’re considering trying it for the first time, we hope you give Naturally Brand a try!
