To burn it off
Almond milk is mostly water with a small amount of almonds. That's why it's so light, with 3 g of fat and next to no carbs in a glass.
Unsweetened is 35 kcal a glass and sweetened is 60. The extra comes from the added sugar, 8 g of carbs instead of 1.
It's also low in protein, about 1 g a glass. If you use it on cereal, the rest of your breakfast can bring the protein.
Tips
Where it comes from
Almond milk is centuries old. An 8th century Islamic medical text lists it as a cough remedy, and it reached medieval Europe with almonds from the Muslim world. Christians took to it because it got around the ban on animal products on fast days like Lent. In the first known German cookbook, from around 1350, almost a quarter of the recipes call for it.
