Commercial almond milk has very little actual almond in it. It's basically water thickened with gum. For example, I have in front of me a box of Kirkland brand almond milk. It provides just 1g protein and 2.5g fat per 8oz serving. Compare that to whole dairy milk, with 8g protein and 8g fat. IMO it would more accurate to call it almond flavored water.
