What to do with the leftover almond pulp?

Vegan food culture promotes reducing wastage. So after extracting milk from the almonds, you can use it in several ways. You can bake it or roast it on a pan. This roasted almond residue can be used as a topping on yoghurt, chia seed pudding, granola or simply mix it with flour that can be used for making rotis or bread.

How long does almond milk last?

Just like packaged milk, vegan or plant-based milk also has a shelf life of not more than three days. So it is recommended making small batches of it and storing in the refrigerator.
