Also - I remember reading an article once on fruit and vegetables and this doctor or whatever said that if we can only manage to eat one piece of fruit a day to make sure it's a Red Delicious Apple. Apoparently they are loaded with good stuff.
Nutrition in a nutshell
Unlike cow's milk, nut beverages contain no saturated fat, cholesterol, or lactose. But wait, there's more. For example, consider the almond. This delicate nut provides 6 grams of protein per ounce of dry nuts (that's about 24 shelled nuts), plus it is a good source of calcium, copper, fiber, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin E, and zinc. In fact, 1 ounce of almonds provides 50% of the DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) of vitamin E a whopping 7 milligrams.
The hazelnut (filbert) also packs a punch in the nutrient department but delivers a bit less vitamin E and protein. In any case, research indicates that when it comes to providing protection against coronary heart disease, nuts can significantly reduce the risk.
While almond and hazelnut milks are available in stores and through mail order, other varieties such as cashew and walnut milks are not. However, you can make any of these nut beverages easily and inexpensively at home.
Its a matter of choice, use the milk you like.
We find the nut milks are very tasty and good for you.
Hope this helps
Hugs to all here,
