⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better

FAQ
Can I use this for baking?
Yes, but it's very low in calories and sugar, so it won't add sweetness or richness. It works well in recipes where moisture is needed without altering the flavor profile, like in pancakes or muffins.
Why is it fortified with vitamins D2 and E?
Almonds naturally contain some vitamin E, but plant milks are fortified to mimic the nutritional profile of dairy milk, which is a common dietary source of vitamin D in many countries.
Is it suitable for a keto diet?
Yes, its very low carbohydrate and sugar content (1.25g carbs, 0g sugar per 100g) makes it a suitable beverage choice for most ketogenic diets.
