Not only is almond milk good, it is MUCH better for you than soy. It does not contain the excess estrogen (we don't need more estrogen from outside--it contributes to breast cancer-- and men in particular don't need it--soy is for animals!).
You can easily make almond milk. I don't do it here because almonds are so expensive. Partly for this reason, I have considered moving to some nice farm community like Viedma (Argentina) because I have literally stood under an almond tree on a public right of way there and had lunch (almonds!) They have almond orchards there where you can buy cheap. (Or who knows--befriend a neighboring farmer and do even better). It is not hard to make. If you look on the Internet you can find recipes. Some use vanilla and other things. I always just soaked the almonds first for several hours, then put them in a strong blender with distilled water (you don't have to use distilled but I do) and blend thoroughly, then strain out the almonds through a strainer. Some people use cheesecloth but I never did. (You can also make cheese!) There are good things you can then make with the almond meat you strained out. I am sure there is plenty of info on the Internet about this. I never added vanilla or anything but many do. You can easily make almond milk--or almond cream, depending on how thick you make it. We do not need to depend on food processors. And anyway, it's better if you use it raw. I do!
