Almond Milk

Have you ever tried almond milk? Do you like it? I tried it once, my younger sister keeps encouraging me to try it. She bought a carton for me once, but I mainly just used it to put in my tea. I also used it as a milk substitute for a dessert I made once. It did make it taste good, both the dessert and the tea. I found this article about it being great for us, but not so great for the almond farmers in California, given the drought they experience so much.
Sales of the non-dairy milk alternative are on the rise. But the super-healthy nuts – mostly grown in drought-hit California – need millions of litres of water to be produced. Think twice before you pour it on your cereal

I bought it to try it and was very disappointed in the taste and the low protein content.

I'm sure for those with dairy intolerance issues, it makes sense but for the rest of us, I don't really see the point.

I tried it recently, instead of milk on my cereal. Nonplussed.
