Anybody here drink almond milk?
Comments (11)Unsweetened would be the healthiest choice, I am assuming, but if you are a dairy lover, and are unsure of the switch, I would recommend trying something with a little bit of sweetness to it first. Though I have not had unsweetened almond, we have bought the unsweetened soy, and it is definitely a different kind of taste compared to regular milk. Dairy milk to me has a bit of sweetness to it. Likewise, if you are used to 2%, I would say almond or soy is closer in consistency than rice milk. Rice milk to me is similar to skim milk because it is thinner. But like I said, we really do enjoy all of the kinds! Also everybody tastes things differently, so try a few different kinds before you decide what you like. Even from brand to brand it is different. I really dislike generic soy milks. As much as I would like to pay less, there is a big difference in taste and quality, IMHO....See Morealmond milk???
Comments (10)I don't believe in consuming dairy, and I avoid soy, so I use a lot of nut milk. It's easy and cheap to make your own. Just blend soaked almonds with water, though it works best with a high-speed blender. Or, even easier, blend a little almond butter with water and you get instant almond milk. If you make it yourself, it's even cheaper than dairy milk and so much better for you and the environment. Additionally, you still get the benefits of the live enzymes that the packaged pasturization destroys. Hemp milk is also great, and absolutely loaded with nutrition....See MoreAlmond Milk
Comments (5)I remember making it myself, back in my macrobiotic 20s. After blanching raw almonds and removing their skins, I would put them in the blender with hot water, let them sit awhile and strain the mixture. I don't remember the exact proportions, but I'll put a link below to several interesting recipes: Here is a link that might be useful: nut milk recipes...See MoreAlmond Milk?
Comments (13)I like the Diamond (Almond Breeze) brand a lot better than Silk, which has gone all out into the almond milk business. My local Walmart, where I buy most of my groceries, has cut way down on their soymilk inventory and is pushing almond milk. I wonder how this relatively new popularity is going to affect the water shortage in California. Almond trees are notorious water hogs. I still prefer soymilk, but use both. To answer the original question, I never noticed that warning on the container, and mine always lasts longer than 7 days. I think we're both fine. :-)...See More- 8 years ago
