Almond milk has 38 kcal and only 0.4 g protein per 100 g. That is about 10x less protein than soy or cow's milk. Useful as a low-calorie liquid for coffee or smoothies, but a poor protein source. Sweetened versions add 4–8 g sugar per 100 ml.
How should I track Almond milk, sweetened, vanilla flavor?
Almond milk, sweetened, vanilla flavor is a good source of calcium. Liquid calories from Almond milk, sweetened, vanilla flavor are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
