Almond Milk Keto Recipes

Almond milk is extremely versatile in the kitchen! The most prominent use is as a dairy-free milk option. Almond milk is the perfect substitute for regular milk in your keto baking and desserts. 

What Is Almond Milk?

Almond milk is a healthy dairy substitute made from nuts. Some individuals prefer its flavor to those of substitutes like oat milk. It can be used in baking, coffee, and oatmeal preparations.

Over time, almond milk, a healthful beverage made from nuts, has gained a lot of popularity.

Since almond milk has a mild flavor, many consumers prefer it to other plant-based milk alternatives. It can be used as a substitute for dairy milk, so you could see it in recipes for coffee, oatmeal, or baking.

By soaking, crushing, and filtering raw almonds, you can prepare almond milk. Nutrients including calcium, riboflavin, vitamin E, and vitamin D may be added to commercial almond milk to increase its nutritional value.

It’s fantastic for people who cannot or do not want to consume dairy products like cow’s milk, but many others drink it simply because they enjoy the flavor.

Is Almond Milk Keto?

You might be unsure if it’s a wise choice for people on the ketogenic diet.

To get the best effects from the keto diet, careful adherence to a high-fat, low-carb diet is necessary. Finding a milk-like beverage that is keto-friendly might be challenging because milk and milk substitutes frequently contain carbohydrates.

Carbohydrate intake on a conventional ketogenic diet is usually capped at 5–10% of total calories. This implies that the daily carbohydrate intake for a 2,000-calorie diet would be 20–50 grams.

Unsweetened almond milk is a fantastic choice for a nutritious keto diet because it only has 1.4 grams of carbs per cup (240 mL), as well as 37% of the DV for calcium and 46% of the DV for vitamin E.

However, since sweetened almond milk has 16 grams of carbs and 15 grams of sugar, it is significantly more difficult to incorporate into a ketogenic diet. Your ability to eat low-carb fruits and vegetables and other nutrient-dense sources of carbohydrates throughout the day will be significantly hampered if you choose to consume sweetened variants.
