anyone using unsweetened almond milk?

I use it as substitute coffee creamer

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 lol

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)

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.

I think people try and eat different nutritional substitutes because the foods that we grew up with (well I grew up with), if I ate that on a regular basis, I'd be going WAY over my calorie limit, it's not like I was eating a bag of chips a day and whatever else, just the "norm" of regular 2% milk, and 12 grain bread, etc.. and I found that by substituting with other things such as unsweetened almond milk instead of 2% milk, I would feel more full as I could eat more, but still stay under my calorie goal. I would go back to my 2% milk and other things of the sort if I knew that I'd be full without going WAY over my limit for the day, but that's not the case, it's because we're used to the foods we grew up with, therefore we're finding out new ways to enjoy other nutritional and healthy foods.

I use it daily for everything that calls for milk and love it, only 30 calories per cup, so fits in perfect with my protein shakes and fruit, keeping the calories low. My protein shake mix , tastes like a cake mix so I don't need any added sweetener. If you feel you need some added sweetness you could try Coconut Palm Sugar or Agave sweetener as a natural low glycemic option.

You know, I make my own unsweetened almond coconut milk. I use organic almonds and organic coconut, and it only comes out to be about $.75 per half gallon (compared to $4.90 of unsweetened Almond Breeze Vanilla almond coconut milk).

I also saw a post somewhere about somebody who made some cheesecake...here is a better cheesecake recipe that looks pretty tasty (it's at the bottom of the page): http://www.emetabolic.com/healthy-recipes-for-weight-loss.php

it ate my first attempt?


unsweetened almond milk, I buy Silk 30 calories one.

Use for whey shake, regular fruit shake with greek yogurt, with coffee and cereal and rarely plain. I really enjoy it. I want to try coconut but can't swallow that the ones I have found have more calories. Love that there is only 30 calories, and 2x the calcium.

I wholeheartedly agree -- the reason this weight loss and healthy lifestyle thing is working for me is because I eat what I like. I refuse to eat stuff I cannot stand to eat..... every food is not for every person.
