I’m not a genius, but the nutritional values seem way off 😏
Yes, they do! I’ll look into this – thanks!
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:)
Very easy to make! Will never buy almond milk again- thanks for the recipe
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.
Hi Tina, we are in the process of adding nutritional labels to all our recipes, I’ll bump this one up the list.
Can I use what I strain out, and how?
