Milk

[Juliefoe]

I thought that nuts contain protein, but someone in the forum said that “almond milk” contains no protein. Why is that?

Almond milk doesn’t have all that much protein because it takes fewer nuts to make the right consistency than soy milk does (soy milk is the reference here because it is the only known vegetal milk with as much protein per cup as dairy milk). If they use too many almonds in it, the milk will be oily and thick. Soy beans are much lower in fat and have a higher water content, so they can use more and the consistency of the milk doesn’t suffer–it actually makes soy milk creamier.
