Top 21 Most Annoying Hollywood Food Trends
20. Almond Milk
Who drinks regular milk anymore? Not many in L.A., that’s for sure. After soy milk, the latest trend is almond milk, believed to be so much healthier than both. Almond milk is obtained, you guessed it, from almonds. The actual process of making almond milk is simple enough so everyone can make their own, if they want to save money or avoid undesired additives sometimes found in commercially sold almond milk.
It is made from boiled and peeled sweet almonds which are then ground and strained several times to obtain as much liquid (milk) as possible. Sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and other spices can be added as desired, or it can be enjoyed plain.
Almond milk leaner than cow’s milk and has a distinctive nutty flavor. It can be used instead of milk in coffee, tea, smoothies, shakes, cookies, ice cream, with cereals…the list is endless. As for the benefits, it is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, protein and vitamin E.
