Sweetened or Unsweetened
Almond milk in this house is a big thing. My daughter doesn’t tolerate full cream milk, or sometimes even light milk. As a baby she was lactose intolerant but grew out of it. However, her belly can still sometimes be upset by too much. This is one of the very first reasonings behind purchasing out first Thermomix®
I tried a lot of different recipes but nothing really came up to the Almond Milk that we liked – Blue Diamond – Almond Breeze. ($2.50 per litre) It is lovely but oh so expensive compared to our homemade one. Ours cost approx. $1.00 per litre and that is really over estimating.
