Almond milk is a very healthy drink, and it has very few calories (around 39 per cup), and less than 2 grams of carbs. It can be used in place of regular dairy milk or cream, either for drinking during your eating window, or just as a substitute creamer for tea or coffee during your fasting hours. It has a lot of important minerals that we need, especially when we are rebuilding our bodies through intermittent fasting and OMAD.
Almond milk is super easy to make if you have a blender or even with a food processor. I just soak about a cup of dry unsalted almonds overnight, and keep them in the refrigerator during hot weather (or they will spoil).
After rinsing them really good, I put the almonds in the blender with about a quart of water and some vanilla flavoring, and about 2 Tbsp of coconut oil and then blend it all up really well. Some people will also strain the milk, but I don’t mind the little bit of extra fiber, and if you are adding to to a green smoothie, then you won’t even notice the little bit of pulp.
You can also add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein, but it will have less calories and carbs if you do not add anything else.
