Almond Breeze Blends are milk beverages made with almonds and cashews or coconuts. They’re richer in consistency than the brand’s regular almond milks, with a pour much like 2% dairy milk. They also have a full-bodied mouthfeel and nutty flavors that coexist tastefully.

Refrigerated Almond Breeze is safe for individuals with dairy allergies.
All Shelf Stable Almond Breeze products are certified Kosher OU meaning that all ingredients are kosher certified containing neither meat nor dairy ingredients or derivatives.
Both Refrigerated and Shelf Stable Almond Breeze are safe for individuals with dairy allergies.
Although they do handle almonds, cashews, and coconuts for their products, their facility is peanut-free. And they state that all of their products are gluten-free and egg-free.

The look is kinda off putting when you forget to shake it
Otherwise it usually tastes fine. Kinda tastes like a dusty room. But you have to super shake it every time otherwise it comes out all chunky and also the bottom quarter is 90% chunk and you have to throw it out. idk. I used to drink it because my mom bought it and it was 2011 so we didn’t know better.
Versatile in both cooking and baking
Though I’m still a bigger fan of their regular almond milks, these work better in recipes. They’re richer and have more neutral flavors. Their regular almond milks are a little too nutty for some recipes, but these seem to be milder. We tried the almond-coconut unsweetened flavors.
