Almonds are great, especially organic ones, and they can provide a lot of healthy and nutritional benefits, such as antioxidants, fats, flavonoids and protein. When it comes to almond milk, it is very nutritional, more than dairy milk, but there are some things you need to know about store-bought almond milk.
Almond milk you buy in the store has more water, additives, and sweeteners than almonds. Some milk brands have only 2% of real almonds in them and another 98% are Carrageen, fortified vitamins, sweeteners, and water. So when you drink this type of brand, you are actually doing more harm than good to your body.
When it comes to almond milk companies, they will never tell and accept the fact that they are not giving what they promised, in this case, a real almond milk. They are just happy to take all the profit and increase their sales.
Dangers of Store-Bought Almond Milk
When you drink store-bought almond milk, your blood sugar levels increase and can cause diabetes. Carrageenan is an artificial thickener in this milk that will cause inflammation of the colon.
A better solution for you is to make your own almond milk because it is very easy to make. Just soak almonds in the water and leave them overnight. In the morning blend almonds and add some water during the process.
In the end, strain the milk and leave it in a glass jar in your fridge. It can stand like that for a maximum of three days. Add vanilla extract if you want, and this milk will taste great and have more health properties than a store-bought one.
