Is there something you'd like to know about 'almond milk'?
For those with a Kapha constitution, what milk could be substituted for almond.
Unsweetened almond milk aggravates Kapha only slightly. Since all of the milk substitutes aggravate Kapha somewhat, I'll suggest adding spices. A dash of cinnamon is probably all that's needed.
What do you do with the "meal" that you strain out? Use that when you make a recipe that needs almonds?
You can certainly do that!
Can you use almond milk and eggs in the same recipe like pancakes? Thank you.

You could experiment with using almond milk and eggs in a pancake recipe. Please let us know how it turns out!
If digestion is strong, generally complicated meals are easily digestible.
If we don't plan on reusing the meal, does it matter if we don't skin the almonds before blending?
Hi Hayden, it's often recommended to soak and peel almonds before consuming because the skin can be heating and a little more difficult to digest. However, almond milk can be made without peeling too. As always, it depends on your digestion and what works for you!
