Along with some benefits, there are also some drawbacks. Although almond milk is becoming quite noticeable in the aisles of the supermarkets, but it is not advisable to feed babies between the age of 4 years to 14 months, because infants who had been fed on almond milk showed the sign of protein-calorie malfunction.(3)

Description
Almond milk is not a dairy product, rather it is a concoction prepared by blending water and almonds together, which happens to be soy-free, lactose-free and is preferable to those who strictly follow a vegan diet. Almond milk is said to be naturally rich in several vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin E, and hence is regarded as a good substitute for milk for people who are intolerant to lactose and also who follow a vegan diet. It’s available throughout the year, at any departmental store.
