Which almond milk tastes the best

I also factor in price and availability i. I was not given free product or compensated for this review, and had no contact with any of these brands. In a nutshell, here is my results from the review. Starting with the best tasting store-bought almond milk brands to the worst. Taste : 4. Quality of ingredients i. Which is a bonus. Ingredient list is good, but not stellar. They use gums for thickener. Ingredient list is good, but they use gums for thickener and stabilizers. It works great for smoothies and cereals, and also froths well for coffee and lattes making it very versatile.

This almond milk is only sold at Wholefoods and on Amazon, making it somewhat difficult to find. Which is where it loses its score ranking. Made with only 4 ingredients, it certainly my favourite brand for quality of ingredients.

There are no gums or stabilizers. Although it still tastes good it could put you off drinking it. Yes, but not for hot drinks. Thickeners and gums are used. This almond milk is great for cereals, smoothies, coffee and hot drinks. By Jaime Milan June 06, Pin FB More. Credit: Cooking Light.

All rights reserved. Before the taste test, we hypothesized that Malk and Califia Farms would probably be one of the highest ranking almond milk cartons in our test. I want to point out that this was a blind taste test for us, so it was as unbiased as we could be.

Three Trees and Malk were also the most expensive almond milk brands we found, for the smallest quantity though we loved the packaging on both! While Califia Farms was the most widely found, it had different price points depending on where it was purchased. We love using almond milk as a base in recipes to create a creamy, protein enriched meal, so here are a few of our favs:. Leave a comment letting us know if this report was helpful, as well as if there are any refrigerated almond milk brands we can test next!

I will start checking for those ingredients now though! Thanks for checking out our report, Laura! Silk and Almond Breeze were tested and ended up sort of middle of the pack for us. You can see their results in the infographic in our post.

This was super helpful. I printed out some of the information to take shopping with me, while I pick my new milk alternative. Thank you! Thanks for the detailed information. Some however I know are not available in my area. Thanks for the rating system! Very helpful! Thank you for the insight on almond milk! Where do you typically see those brands? I loved the comparison last year and was looking forward to it this year!

I avoid them entirely. However, I now might see whether locust bean gum is different in how it affects my body. Thanks so much! So glad you found this helpful. If you use Elmhurst or Simply— there are no gums at all. Which is nice. I found the article interesting and informative — especially, the breakdown on various gums. I will share it with my family and friends. I really like Malk, so surprised you thought the taste was bad. I have had a bad bottle once that was spoiled, but other than that the taste is usually excellent have to shake really well as it settles.

I also like Simple Truth organic almond milk Kroger brand. Thanks for the info on ingredients, found that interesting. I like Malk, also. Glad you found this helpful. Thanks for letting us know about Simple Truth. I have always wondered about the different kinds of almond milk with some being so much more expensive than others!

Of course I want it to taste good but I will give in some on that for cleaner ingredients! Loved this and thanks for doing it!

Very interesting! Did you test the Kirkland brand from Costco? Love the picture!! Great job. I hope you will do an analysis of shelf stable boxed almond milk. I was totally into boxed milks until I realized that the refrigerated cartons were a much better buy — more for less cost — even in the same brand.

Buying boxed milks allowed me to go to the store less often. Now we live across the street from the grocery store and I can walk over and get some more milk, but I still like to have extra supplies in my pantry. Thanks for your feedback, Elizabeth! We are hoping to do a report on shelf-stable almond milks in the near future. Please include the Costco shelf stable almond milk also I would love to see a report on oat milk too.

Great report Jen! I have moved your emails to my primary on Gmail and really enjoy reading all of your content and even more so putting as much as possible into action and my diet. Your app is absolutely fantastic for anybody who is thinking about getting it.

You have categorize things so well and your recipes are delicious. Thanks for all you do. I agree! Simple green smoothies. Kudos to your team. So beautiful and full of great helpful and authentic info. Thanks to Rawkstar! This is so incredibly in-depth!! Thank you, Emilita!

So glad you mentioned that! I would buy it again: Califia Farms, Almond Breeze, and if they were what was available when I was shopping. Do you have a favorite nut milk, or characteristics you like? Let me know in the comments. Disclaimers: Of course, all of my opinions here are very subjective, so if you drink nut milk regularly, it may be worth it for you to buy several and do a taste test of your own.

I have very limited choices as I live an hour from the city and big grocery stores. I make an occasional trip to civilization to stock up on non-dairy items not available at home. I keep trying these nut milks in hopes of finding a perfect balance of creamy thickness, smooth mouth feel, no aftertaste, and slightly sweet. I prefer the milder, slightly sweet taste of unsweetened cashew milk to that of unsweetened almond milk.

I think that cashew tastes a bit closer to dairy milk than almond. I use Silk unsweetened cashew milk. However, I feel very strongly against their almond and soy varieties and they have a strong artificial taste. With Silk, it tastes like fake almond flavored. One other question — have you used any of them in coffee? Separated particles appeared in the latte. Hi Jon, let me know what you think of the silk cashew. We drink it every day. Only 4g sugar total in the whole bottle.

I have to agree with you on the Silk almond milk. The Silk almond milk is so nasty. Hi Joanne, I really appreciate that you took the time to compare these non dairy drink. Thanks Rose. I found it extremely watery and tasteless except for an unpleasant slight nutty flavor.

I drank about a quarter cup and promptly asked for a refund next time I was at Whole Foods. Fortunately, they gave me one.

Thank you for doing theses comparisons, i am looking for a nut milk that has no sweet taste period so i can make cream based soups etc that does not have that sweet taste.
