Hi I don't really like eating nuts, but I do like almond milk (store-bought). I drink quite a bit. Does anyone know if drinking almond milk is as good for you as eating the nuts (minus the fiber and fat, of course.) The milk does have some fat, so I figure I'm getting some of omegas.

Thanks for any help!
