Almond Breeze Almondmilk Barista Collection, Unsweetened 32 oz (Pack of 12) Non Dairy Milk to use with Coffee, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, Shelf Stable

Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Milk, Vanilla, 32-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)Good day, friends..Like many, I also want to eat and drink better. After researching alternatives to cow's milk, like many, I discovered almond milk and was happy that it was available through Amazon. Having tried the sweetened original and then the sweetened vanilla flavored, I was hooked. Since then, I have placed four orders for this excellent alternative. But I have to share something with you. The third time that I ordered Almond Breeze, the vanilla flavored version, I found that the flavor was not like the previous order, which was also the vanilla flavored version, and how I was able to make the comparison. I would not describe it as sour, but as if it had an odd flavor to it.To those of you who have tried the sweetened vanilla version of this product, it was as if the sweetness and vanilla flavor had been mostly missing from it. It also had a slightly bitter aftertaste, which I did not experience with the previous order. The expiration date stamp stated February, 2012. After doing some research, I found that the problem could be that the product may have been frozen at some point. On the cartons themselves it states: Do Not Freeze, and considering that after trying all of the cartons in the shipment, and all of them having the same odd flavor, I believe that the issue was that they had been frozen somewhere between there and here.I hate to be the bearer of a not so glowing review, but I have to be truthful. And considering that this product is priced between $27.00 and $30.00, it certainly is not cheap. But then, the price of health is priceless, so in spending the amount, I do it happily. Even with my experience, I still give this product five stars because of its excellence in flavor and nutrients. I am hopeful that my experience was just a fluke, and that the shipment was accidentally placed together with other highly perishable items that are supposed to be frozen.On the side of the Almond Breeze cardboard box, the statement: Keep From Freezing is printed. But, perhaps if it were more prominently displayed, that would be better.I just placed another order for Almond Breeze, and I will remain a loyal Almond Breeze fan, as many of you are. I thank Blue Diamond for producing such an excellent, excellent product, and Amazon for making this hard to find product available to us.Thank you, and have a healthy day.

Delicious

As a diabetic, I have to watch my sugar intake. Being non-dairy, it has no lactose (natural milk sugar), which can spike blood sugar. It also has no added sugar, so I can sweeten to taste with non-sugar sweetener. I don't drink milk of any kind by itself, but I do add it to my morning protein enriched latte, which I typically drink iced. This adds a nice hint of chocolate, as well as a little creaminess. Some cold brew concentrate, or Community Instant Coffee and cold water, a scoop of no added sugar protein powder, and 12 ounces of Almond Breeze Unsweetened Chocolate Almond Milk, a few drops of sweetener, blitzed in the NutriBullet and breakfast is ready to drink. Without the protein powder added, it's a nice afternoon pick-me-up.My only complaint is the wild fluctuation in price from one time to the next. I try to to stock up when I find it fairly reasonable, because it's impossible to find it in my local, very rural, shopping area.

I have to watch my carbs and hate diet sugars. This is an unsweetened chocolate milk and I’ve never found it with any other brand. It gives a chocolate milk fix without the sweetness which is hard to describe. It I really love it. It’s good in coffee too.My only complaint is that I wish they sold them in smaller batches because my last batch don’t have a long expiration date and I couldn’t get through them fast enough.

Great quality, delicious taste great product overall.

This is proof you can milk anything if you’re determined enough. It tastes like someone soaked an almond in water, forgot about it, then came back and bottled the result. I keep buying it just for the smug satisfaction of saying, ‘Oh, I don’t do dairy anymore.’4/5 stars for being weirdly addictive. I subtracted one because almonds don’t even have udders and we’re all just pretending this is normal.

This is the best tasting chocolate almond milk in my opinion. It also has cleaner ingredients while being minimally processed. I have putting this in my protein shakes for over 4 years now. I was purchasing from the supermarket, but this is a better deal for your money. The milks came well packaged in a box. Nothing was leaking and all the bottles were sealed.

I have looked all over in my grocery stores for this unsweetened chocolate milk. I do low carbs and I was dying to try this. I could drink it right out of the car and cold but I add a little stevia and it's delicious. I also made some chocolate pudding sugar-free with it it came out delicious with sugar-free whipped cream on it. It was only two something that container
