Are There Any Almonds in Your Almond Milk?

Did you ever wonder how many almonds are in your almond milk? I compared four popular brands to find the number of almonds it would take for each. The results are astonishing, so this won't be my most popular post. Based on the legally regulated nutrition facts of each brand, I compared that to the nutrition facts of one natural almond, I broke each brand down to how many almonds it would take to make it. I discovered there are only 9 to 14 almonds in 2 cups of commercial almond milk. That means the mark-up is astronomical, nutrition is low, and you're paying for mostly water, packaged, and distributed many miles via grocery trucking systems. A profitable business model indeed!
