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.

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.
