I've been making this yogurt for years, and it's one of my favorite breakfasts. It's creamy and rich, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. I love that it's made with whole almonds, which are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. I also like that it's dairy-free, so it's a great option for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan. I usually make a big batch of this yogurt on the weekend, and then eat it throughout the week. It's a great way to start my day, and it also makes a healthy and satisfying snack.
