Roundy's Unsweetened Original Almond-Milk
What it is
This is a plant-based beverage made from almonds and water. It is unsweetened, meaning it contains no added sugars. The original flavor indicates it has a neutral taste profile, suitable for a variety of culinary applications. It is a dairy-free alternative to traditional milk. The consistency is generally thinner than cow's milk.
How people cook with it
This almond-milk is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. It can be used as a direct substitute for dairy milk in many recipes.
- In smoothies
- For cereal
- In baking
- In coffee
When cooking or baking, this unsweetened almond-milk can be used in equal measure to dairy milk. It works well in pancake batters, muffin mixes, and cookie doughs. For beverages, it can be frothed for lattes or added to tea. Its neutral flavor makes it suitable for creamy sauces or soups where you want the other ingredients to shine. It is also a good base for homemade salad dressings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike sweetened almond-milk, this version does not contribute sweetness to your dishes. It also differs from other plant-based milks like soy or oat milk in its texture and subtle nutty flavor, which can be more delicate.

Home cooks looking for a dairy-free option for everyday cooking and drinking will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the remaining almond-milk refrigerated. It should be consumed within the timeframe recommended on the packaging, typically about 7 to 10 days. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
