I just recently tried this and like it but can only use 1/2 a carton a week. Has anyone frozen it? Does it still taste OK to drink after that? Any advice?

I know of no reason why it can't be frozen. But I make my own nut milks with a blender. That way there's no leftovers, and it saves money too.

Now that you've mentioned it, I've wondered about this, too. I checked the Pacific Foods website and this is what they say about freezing their non-dairy beverages--

Of course, even having read this I would probably go ahead and just use it in recipes. It may not be the best to drink, though.

I only use the Pacific, and I don't believe their milks come in individual sizes--I wish they did!

A couple of their broths do, though.....

I get the Pacific Low Fat Chocolate Almond Beverage (yumm). They came out with individual drink boxes with straw couple months ago (nice size for breakfast or to bring somewhere). They also have Vanilla in the small size. 4 Pack 8oz each.

Oh wow--thank you! I was just in Whole Foods on Sunday picking up a few cartons, and didn't see the individuals. Great news!! :)

I don't have a large health food store near me... but I got mine in Smith's (believe same as Ralph's and Kroger grocery store). This is the only place I have seen them so far.

I have found that Pacific nut milks keep for much longer than the 7 days or whatever that it says on the box. (Their chicken broth says the same thing, so I think they just put that time frame on all their stuff.) If you'll finish the box in two weeks (you said half a box a week, right?), it's probably fine to just leave it in the fridge.

yeah i use both pacific and blue diamond almond milks for my cereals and protein shakes, and i rarely use it within 7 days of opening. i would say that i use it within 2 weeks though and it stays fine.

Wow. :blink:

I don't have a problem with dairy, but I like almond milk so much,I could easily finish it off in one day.

i have frozen it before and it sorta works, but it's not great. i only drink Almond Breeze (best flavor IMO), and after freezing it tends to seperate and looks a little dicey. the taste is ok, but a little weird.

Well, hey, they say to drink 8 cups of liquid a day, right? One carton of Almond Breeze is only 4 cups!

I make mine fresh daily as needed with my vitamix and a jelly strainer. Never waste any. :)

You have a point! I guess on some level I still think of it as milk, which I have a lifelong aversion to because of the problems it gives me! :lol:

I'm trying to figure out how the almond milk affects my BG and what nutrition I get from it. But it's more calories that water at least and I need the calories!

My homemade doesnt spike my BG at all. I use stevia to sweeten it.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
