The Benefits of Almond Milk

I have recently been drinking Almond milk, I never thought I'd move away from Oat milk but I am really enjoying this non dairy milk in tea, for baking and on cereal. It is perfect for everything and also have a lot of health benefits. If you haven't already tried it give it a go, it comes in sweetened and unsweetened versions.
