I always end up binning most of my almond milk as i cant use it up in time and then it goes bad

Would like to make something other than smoothies or oatmeal with it, relatively healthy (vegan)
for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack

    I don't have any ideas of what to do with it that will add variety to your meals but before it spoils freeze it in a ice cube tray and use later for smoothies. I don't know how well it freezes as I've never tried this myself, just an idea..

    ice cube tray- great idea.
    I always go through mine. I add it to my chai latte- but only the almond-coconut kind. I don't like the plain almond one in my chai.
    I have 1-2 cups of it a day.

    I love the almond-coconut milk. I use it with a chocolate protein powder and it tastes like a Mounds bar.

    The ice cube trays are the best idea! I freeze it and toss them into the blender with fruit, raw spinach and ground flax for a yummy smoothie!

    I use my soy milk in all my recipes that call for milk. It lasts so long in the fridge, it's great. I normally drink the light almond flavor soy milk, but I buy a smaller container of regular flavor to use in savory recipes or in gravies or sauces.

    Smoothies using your favorite fruits and veg are good. The unsweetened varieties are only 30-40 calories so you could just drink some during the day for extra calcium.

    Hungry Girl makes chocolate oatmeal with it (I just made today):

    1 cup almond breeze 40 cal vanilla
    1/2 cup oatmeal/oats
    1 package Diet Swiss Miss hot chocolate
    Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
    1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)

    Mix first four ingredients (if using cinnamon) in a small saucepan. Cook on low for about 15 minutes, until the consistency of oatmeal. Top with chocolate chips or ground up graham cracker, if desired.
    Yum!

    Have you tried freezing it? It freezes wonderfully.

    If you can't finish a carton before you think it's gone bad, try freezing half of it when you first get it. Just shake it really well, pour about half in a container for the fridge, and stick the rest of the carton in the freezer. It'll thaw overnight when you're ready to use the 2nd half.

    Or the ice cube tray trick is good, too!

    We have made muffins with it and frozen the muffins to have as a quick breakfast from time to time. Obviously you wouldn't use it for protein since Almond milk only has 1G per C (versus 8 for milk or ~6+ for soy milk) , so mostly for calcium and lower calories.

    :love: I love almond-coconut and I am so going to buy some chocolate protein powder just so I can drink this!!

    ETA: To the OP, I like to drink it as a snack becuase I think it tastes good and slightly sweet - so at 30cals it's a yummy snack :)
