Unsweetened Almond Milk

Unsweetened almond milk is a popular plant-based milk alternative, derived from almonds. It is made by soaking, blending, and straining almonds to extract a creamy, smooth, and slightly nutty liquid. As the name suggests, there is no added sugar in the unsweetened variety, making it a healthier choice for those seeking to limit their sugar intake. This dairy-free alternative is commonly used in a range of recipes, from smoothies and baked goods to soups and sauces. It is also an ideal option for people with lactose intolerance, vegans or those seeking a lower-calorie milk substitute.

Unsweetened Almond Milk FAQ
Unsweetened almond milk is cherished for its low calorie content and subtle nutty flavor. In baking, people often go wrong by using it as a 1:1 substitute for regular milk or heavy cream, not taking into consideration that it's much less creamy and doesn't contain fat. To maximize the flavor, try using it in tea, coffee, and breakfast recipes like smoothies and oatmeal. One little known trick is that you can make your own almond milk at home by blending almonds and water and then straining it. Also, giving your carton a good shake before use can ensure an even distribution of flavor.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does unsweetened almond milk expire?
Unopened, unsweetened almond milk can last between 1-2 months past the printed date on the package if stored properly in a cool and dark pantry. Once opened, it needs to be refrigerated and usually stays fresh for about 7-10 days. Always take note of the manufacturer's instructions on the package as the shelf life may vary based on the brand. Freezing is not recommended as it can significantly affect the texture and consistency of the almond milk.
How do you tell if unsweetened almond milk is bad?
If your unsweetened almond milk has gone bad, you will notice several signs. The first sign is a change in color; almond milk that has gone bad tends to darken and may develop clumps. It will also have a sour or off smell, similar to spoiled dairy milk. Finally, if you taste it and it has a sharp, sour taste, it's best to throw it away.
Tips for storing unsweetened almond milk to extend shelf life
• Always keep unsweetened almond milk sealed and store it in a cool, dark place until it's opened. • After opening, it should be stored in the refrigerator. Make sure the lid is tightly closed after each use to preserve its freshness. • Do not leave the bottle out at room temperature for extended periods. Even though it's plant-based, it can still spoil if left out for too long. • Keep track of the opening date to help you remember how long it has been since it was first opened. • Shake the almond milk well before use. This is because it naturally separates and forms sediment at the bottom.
