Health Benefits of almond milk
Almond milk is valuable because it contains many nutrients, which are essential for maintaining the health and vitality of our bodies. Here are some of its benefits.

Almond milk impacts the brain positively. Thus, It is recommended for developing children. Almonds have vitamin B6, which is also known as pyridoxine that helps aid the metabolism of proteins, which may further help increase the availability of proteins for brain cell repair.
Low in calories
Even though almonds are high in calories, their milk contains low calories when compared to cow milk.Â
During the production process, only a very small portion of almonds is present in the finished product.
For instance, One cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk contains about 30–50 calories, while the same amount of whole dairy milk contains 146 calories. That means almond milk contains 65–80% fewer calories.
Contains low sugar
Unsweetened almond milk is low in sugar. However, store-bought milk often contains sugar. If you are trying to cut down on your sugar consumption or intake, this milk can help.
Vitamin E
Almonds are naturally high in vitamin E, providing 37% of the daily vitamin E requirement in just 1 ounce (28 grams) (9).
Therefore, almond is also a natural source of vitamin E, though most commercial varieties also add extra vitamin E during processing
