Do vegans have any aversion to almond milk?

i'm never sure what vegans will or wont eat since i found out its not just meat. do they have any aversion to almond milk or other nut products? i dont have soy milk. i hate soy milk >.> and what are "slow rise pancakes?" are they any different from regular pancakes? [i'm asking all of this because my friend is staying with me for a while and i just found out an hour ago that she's vegan... so i have no time to prepare, but she did mention slow rise pancakes O.o]
