Badam milk: healthy nuts or a sugary treat?

Badam milk is mostly milk and almonds, and those are good for you. The catch is the spoonfuls of sugar we stir in, and that part is easy to leave out.

Badam milk is full of nuts and milk, so it is always a healthy drink.

Verdict

Mostly it depends. The milk and the almonds are genuinely good for you — protein, calcium, healthy fat. The catch is the sugar. A sweet glass hides about 2 to 3 spoons of added sugar, and that is the one part worth watching when you are trying to lose weight.
