About Almond Milk

Almond milk is a liquid beverage made by dispersing or extracting ground almonds in water and usually separating much of the solid residue. It is consumed as a beverage and used in cereals, coffee, sauces, batters, desserts, and blended drinks.

It generally has a light almond flavour and a thin, pourable texture, though formulations range from watery to relatively creamy. Commercial products may contain sweeteners, salt, stabilizers, flavourings, or added nutrients, while homemade versions vary in concentration and straining.

Almond milk is generally opaque and white to beige. It is sold refrigerated or shelf-stable; preparation and straining determine how much almond residue remains and can change its body and creaminess. The description does not specify concentration, sweetening, fortification, or other formulation details.

Portions & preparation

Identify the exact almond beverage formulation and serving form, including strained or unstrained product, sweetened or unsweetened version, fortification, flavoring, and storage state. A reference should not be transferred between homemade and commercial beverages, because recipes and added ingredients can differ substantially.

Compare the right form: Match the reference to almond beverage as homemade or commercial, sweetened or plain, flavored or unflavored, and fortified or unfortified.

Diet considerations

Almond milk is plant-derived, but compatibility depends on the formulation. Products may contain sugar, cereal-derived ingredients, oils, gums, flavorings, or other additions, and some recipes may include dairy or honey. Use the label or recipe for the specific beverage; do not generalize from the name alone.
