What is in unsweetened almond milk?
The USDA FoodData Central entry “Beverages, almond milk, unsweetened, shelf stable” (SR Legacy) lists these values per 100 g (about 3.4 fl oz):
| Nutrient | Per 100 g |
|---|---|
| Energy | 15 kcal |
| Protein | 0.4 g |
| Total fat | 0.96 g |

Is almond milk high in protein?
No. At 0.4 g per 100 g it is low in protein. The USDA Foundation entry for plain unsweetened shelf-stable almond milk lists 0.55 g per 100 g, and the same database lists 3.55 g for unsweetened soy milk.
Why is the calcium so high?
The database entry does not say why. Calcium and vitamin D in packaged plant milks can differ by brand, so check the Nutrition Facts label on yours. One Foundation entry for plain almond milk lists 173 mg calcium per 100 g, so values vary between entries.
What about health benefits?
The pages we opened are nutrient data and make no health claims, and we found no official source stating specific benefits of almond milk, so we state none. If you have a nut allergy or a medical condition, ask a doctor or dietitian.
