My story

My name is Alex and I am the face behind Almond Milk is Nuts! I have my master’s degree in Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Science. I am married to an incredible man and we have a beautiful son together. I am an introverted extrovert and love spending time with my family and friends. I also love trying new experiences and not taking life too seriously. I initially wanted to study nutrition after recovering from an eating disorder in my teens. This was the beginning of my journey into health and nutrition. I am a big believer in moderation and not demonizing foods or food groups. Every food has a place on your plate and there isn’t anything I will tell you you can never eat. I don’t see food as “good” or “bad”, but rather foods you want to eat more or less often. I love all food and believe that if a diet (unless instructed by a physician) tells you to eliminate a food or an entire food group, run the other way! It is my passion and goal to help others understand the science behind nutrition and reach their goals. I focus on debunking fad diets and incorporating all types of foods!

I started Almond Milk is Nuts on Instagram in May of 2020 during quarantine. Like many, I was laid off from my corporate position and it really was the push I needed to build my own business. I appreciate each and every one of you and hope you enjoy and learn something new about nutrition. I’m only a message away!
