3 Amazing recipes will make you instantly fall in love with Almond milk
Did you know that Almonds in general are a great source of Vitamins, Proteins, and Minerals and are filled with fiber. Plus, it tastes great and adds richness to a lot of dishes.
We at Plantaway have created a bunch of recipes using almond milk—some sweet and some savory. Though the replacement may not be universal, they are pretty wide and varied. On the sweet side, almond milk was a great alternative in place of regular milk in our Almond Milk Chocolate Pudding, & our Immunity Boosting Vegan Banana Smoothie. Since no one really thought of almonds and savory much, we experimented with our own favorite Rich and Creamy Vegan Mushroom Risotto. Trust us..Divine!
