Preparation
Unsweetened almond milk is water with a little almond and stabiliser: 15 kcal per 100 g, 40 per cup. Heated in coffee or porridge it behaves like water and contributes almost nothing. It does not reduce or thicken usefully; recipes that depend on milk's fat and protein (custards, béchamel) will come out thinner.
Logging this food
A cup is 262 g and 40 kcal. The label that matters is "unsweetened": the sweetened vanilla version is roughly 90 kcal per cup, and barista blends made for foaming add oil and can reach 60–80. In coffee, log the splash (about 30 g, 4 kcal) rather than skipping it — it is the habit, not the calories, that keeps a log honest.
Swaps and alternatives
Against skim milk (about 34 kcal per 100 g, 8 g protein per cup) almond milk saves calories and loses nearly all the protein — 1 g per cup. Soy milk (about 40–55 kcal per 100 g) keeps the protein. Oat milk is higher, typically 45–60 kcal per 100 g. For a protein target, almond milk is a poor swap for dairy.
