I got the idea that I was gonna start using almond milk again to make some smoothies. what I had done before, was use almond milk with sugar free pudding powder to make chocolate shakes....I added bananas. I tried the almond milk today using strawberries as that is what I had. It was so aweful I had to pour it all out.
I am trying to get away from using sugar free stuff with artificial sweeteners.......so really dont want to go back to the pudding mix. how do you get your almond milk stuff to taste good?

I love almond milk , are you sure it hasn't gone bad ??0

I like to use the unsweetened chocolate in my shakes and then the unsweetened original for cereal - I find it tastes better then milk.0

I don't like the flavor alone- it tastes very woody to me. I use the unsweetened vanilla in smoothies with protein powder. I'm having one now- almond milk, vanilla protein powder, an apple, spinach and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Tastes like the milk left over after a bowl of apple jacks.0

Unsweetened tastes good as-is. I dont know what to tell you since I've never tried to change it, sorry. Maybe try adding a little bit of a natural sugar substitute, like xylitol or stevia.0

Personally I think a half packet of Equal makes it taste 10x better in a 6oz or 8oz cup. It's heaven.0

I use it for cereal, coffee creamer, and protein shakes. It is awesome and delicious. I don't add any sweetener to it.
Almond Breeze unsweetened chocolate.0 -

Unsweetened vanilla. I drink it every day in cereal, with some splenda for a treat... I think it would be awesome in a smoothie!0 -
I prefer silk unsweetened vanilla, now 30calories a cup (not sure why the change from 35)
I use it in coffee, cereal or smoothies. In smoothies I add stevia in the raw because I only use the almond milk, fruit and plain greek yogurt, the plain greek needs a bit of something IMO.0 -
Personally I love unsweetened almond milk. But if you don't like it, don't eat it. I don't get why everyone keeps trying to force themselves to eat food they don't like.0

I have an almond milk steamer every morning with my breakfast. I just tried it with the unsweetened vanilla and I put in just a little bit of powdered non-dairy coffee creamer for flavor. I use less than half a serving so it is about 7 to 10 calories. It wasn't quite as yummy as the regular vanilla almond milk but I don't have a hard time drinking it either. Maybe you could try using some of that in your smoothies? I know that it isn't the healthiest option but I don't feel like one teaspoon a day is a big deal...there might be organic brands too but I haven't looked.0

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, trader joes brand. Use it in place of milk. Taste great0
-
I use it in everything I make instead of milk. I've never had issues with it not tasting good.
Was this the first time you'd tried almond milk? Maybe go for the original flavor before trying unsweetened?0 -
I use it everyday in my smoothies.0

I use Blue Diamond Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla for everything. I don't mix any sweeteners with it and haven't found it bad-tasting. Maybe you had a bad batch of it.0

I like the Almond Breeze coconut almond blend. 60 calories per cup.0
-
I use it in all my smoothies, anything I bake that needs milk, pancakes, any food that needs it... i don't really taste any difference lol0
-
I use the Silk unsweetened almond milk in my protein shakes every day. It tastes great and adds extra flavor! I do also add a "dash' of fat free milk! My daughter even drinks these shakes and she doesn't know the difference from regular milk.0

I use Blue Diamond (or Trader Joes) unsweetened vanilla almond milk in cereal, coffee and smoothies.
It taste great. And I prefer these brands over Silk brand.
I've used the unsweetened chocolate almond milk in a smoothie before as well (and drank by itself). But because I don't use it for coffee or cereal, it went to waste.
Why don't you use a protein powder in your smoothies instead of the pudding?
I have a smoothie book which I need to peruse, but for now, my standard smoothie is
unsweetened vanilla almond milk
protein powder
1/2 banana
peanut butter (I prefer 'better n peanut butter, but if not available an all natural peanut butter works good)
little bit of vanilla extract
flax seed
ice cubes
(its actually a 'recipe' from Jillian Michaels plan)0 -
I tried the unsweetened and it tasted flat to me. I use the almond breeze vanilla and it seems to work fine.0
