PROS

Walnut milk is a great dairy-free alternative for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
It’s also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for heart health and reducing inflammation in the body.

CONS

One of the cons of this recipe is that it may require a bit of planning ahead, as the walnuts need to soak overnight before blending.
Additionally, although it’s a healthy alternative to regular milk, it may not have the same nutrient profile and may not be fortified with vitamins and minerals like regular milk.
