I love almond milk, especially if you make it yourself and that's easy to do, which is you soak almonds overnight and then you put them in a blender with some water and voila! you got Almond milk.

This is a great source of little extra protein and it's something that you use instead of milk in your cooking or in cereals or whatever you are eating for breakfat.
