•COUPLE TIPS
*****************
•1st Tip-
If you have an almond allergy, don’t worry- you can use this recipe for any type of nut or seed to make into plant milk.
•2nd Tip-
Most almond milk recipes recommend you use a ratio of 3-4 cups of water for every 1 cup of almonds. It’s probably going to take you a few tries to perfect the texture your tastebuds are okay with.
Remember: The more water you use, the thinner your almond milk will be. The less water you use, the thicker your almond milk will be.
•3rd Tip-
Real almond milk is high in protein and magnesium, which ironically (like cow’s milk is supposed to do but doesn’t) promotes bone strength. It is also high in Vitamin E.

Just a quick question man, do certain types of food affect the way your skin looks? I've been on a high calorie diet my skins been breaking out and looking duller lately I've noticed not sure if its just a phase or because of my bulk… I'm 20 btw. Dope vid too good to see you back at it.
Hey Brett, another good recipe using almonds is by adding almonds, nutritional yeast, and salt to a food processor. It taste like parmesan cheese:) No joke
