Blue Diamond Unsweetened Original Almondmilk
What it is
This is a plant-based beverage made from almonds. It is unsweetened, meaning it does not contain added sugars. The original flavor offers a neutral taste profile. It is packaged in an aseptic carton, which allows for a long shelf life without refrigeration until opened. This makes it convenient for stocking pantries.
How people cook with it
This almondmilk is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. It can be used as a direct substitute for dairy milk in many applications.
- In smoothies
- For cereal
- In baking
- In coffee
You can pour this almondmilk directly over cereal or granola for a light breakfast. It blends smoothly into fruit and vegetable smoothies, adding a creamy texture without altering the primary flavors. When baking, it can be used cup-for-cup in recipes calling for dairy milk, contributing moisture and a subtle nutty undertone. It also froths reasonably well for lattes and other coffee beverages, though it may not achieve the same density as dairy milk. Experiment with it in sauces and soups for a lighter consistency.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dairy milk, this almondmilk is lactose-free and vegan. Its unsweetened nature means it lacks the sweetness of sweetened varieties, making it suitable for those watching their sugar intake. The texture is generally thinner than whole dairy milk.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a dairy-free alternative for everyday use will find this product useful.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate the almondmilk and consume within 7 to 10 days. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight.
