      I’m not a genius, but the nutritional values seem way off 😏

      Does the 174 kcal/cup take into account that you’re straining out the almond pulp/meal?

      I have a question about the nutrition information: what is the volume that these measurements refer to? is it for all 6 cups of beverage? or per 8 ounces?
      How were these figures derermined?

        Hi Roger, the nutrition information is per serving. So for this recipe, it’s per cup of almond milk. Use the information as a guideline only - we do our best to provide our readers accurate information, but since we use a third-party nutrition calculator, we cannot guarantee that it is 100% accurate. Hope that helps:)

      Recipe is super easy - great for using in smoothies. I would like to know what the cals/carbs are but I do not see the nutritional facts anywhere.
