    Good Karma Flaxmilk in Creamy, Protein, and Lunchable Sizes

    52
    By Alisa Fleming on September 2, 2018 Dairy-Free Milk Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    Updated in 2021! Flaxmilk has become popular over the years not only for Omega3 benefits, but also for taste. It tends to be lighter, yet creamier, and a little more neutral in taste than many other dairy-free milk beverages. Good Karma Flaxmilk is the leader in this space, and they have expanded their product line to include high protein and single serve options.

    Good Karma Flaxmilk (Review): Dairy-free, top allergen-free, and vegan with Protein and single-serve options

    Good Karma Flaxmilk in Creamy, Protein, and Lunchable Sizes

    Though flaxseeds can’t rival the natural cream of coconut or richness of cashews, it turns out that a dairy-free milk beverage made with cold pressed flax oil does have the smooth consistency of dairy milk. And it tastes pretty darn impressive. Plus, each serving of Good Karma Flaxmilk contains 1200 mg of Omega 3 and is fortified with calcium and vitamins A, B12, and D.

    Because this review comes from our earlier format, I have tasting notes with the flavors we’ve tried. Please note that we found the “regular” and “+protein” varieties to be very different. The +protein flavors had a bitterness I couldn’t quite get past, but another taster didn’t even notice. Please do feel free to leave your own rating and review below, and let us know which varieties you tried!

    Vanilla

    This flavor was much sweeter than I expected, almost hinting at dessert. The flavor is VERY vanilla, which I absolutely loved. It also has a semi-rich, 2% like texture that was incredibly smooth and easy to drink. I found it to be less thick than coconut milk beverage but smoother and more fulfilling than almond milk beverage. I think this one could be a big hit in almost any sweet recipe! As well as in everyday drinks like hot cocoa, coffee, and tea.

    Good Karma Flaxmilk Reviews and Information - Dairy-Free Milk Beverage in several vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free varietiesIngredients: flaxmilk (filtered water, cold pressed organic flax oil), cane sugar, tricalcium phosphate, vanilla extract, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, gellan gum, xanthan gum, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, vitamin B12.

    Nutrition (per 1 cup): 60 calories, 2.5g fat, 10g carbs, 0g fiber, 10g sugars (includes 10g added sugars), 0g protein. Fortified with the following RDA percentages: 10% vitamin D, 20% calcium, 15% vitamin A, 60% vitamin B12.*

    Original

    Wow, the Original Good Karma Flaxmilk was, well … perfect. I could easily taste why this was a unanimous winner among dairy drinkers. It was fluid, smooth, lightly creamy, and yet refreshing. This classic variety has a hint of sweetness, but is relatively neutral in taste, with a seamless overall flavor. It seemed quite versatile, though I still wouldn’t use it in a purely savory recipe, like mashed potatoes.

    Unsweetened

    For my own personal use (beyond reviews), I typically purchase Unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage, so this was the flavor of Good Karma Flaxmilk I was most curious about. Truthfully, it wasn’t as scrumptious as the other two for the obvious reason: no sweetener. However, my interest in milk alternatives isn’t for sipping, it’s for everyday smoothies and recipes. The Unsweetened Good Karma Flaxmilk added just the right amount of body to my breakfast smoothies, and the fairly neutral yet somewhat savory flavor seemed like a fluid fit for most dishes.

    Unsweetened + Protein

    This is their unsweetened with pea protein added, some of you might taste bitterness from the addition.

    Chocolate + Protein

    For those of us who tasted bitterness in the other protein flavors, we could still detect it a bit in this flavor. But I’ve heard from many moms that their kids love these.

    Not Bad

    So, I bought both the plain and vanilla fortified with protein. The vanilla is delish! I wish it didn’t have so much added sugar (maybe try some monk fruit) for those of us on restricted sugar diets. The plain, well… kinda yuck. I decided to add my cocoa to it and heat it up with some monk fruit and found it to be enjoyable. I will certainly continue to buy it. For me, the nutritional benefits outweigh the taste (of the plain).

    Bitterness in Protein Version

    Rated 3 out of 5
    January 26, 2022

    I love the unsweetened protein version, but the downside is it only comes in very large containers and has to be used within 7 days. It starts to develop the bitterness from the moment it’s opened. I wish they would sell it in smaller containers.

    Contains no flax

    February 24, 2021

    Has anyone noticed that this product contains no flaxseeds? It’s nothing more than water, oil, sweetener, flavoring, gums (why use gums when hydrated flaxseed does the same thing?), emulsifier, vitamins, and minerals (plus pea protein, in some). It contains no flax. It’s sweetened gum-water. Ridiculous.

    This milk is so good. I have been buying it from wholefoods for nearly 2 years now. I usually have it poured over breakfast cereal but today I felt obliged to write a review, after I found out it froths really well over a cold brew coffee!! So happy, and it tastes amazing, better than cows milk!!

    Unsweetened protein

    Rated 5 out of 5
    August 30, 2020

    First time was a shock to my pallet, but then I started adding my own spices like cardamom or cinnamon or pumpkin spice according to what I’m in the mood for, and now I love it. I have also generally weaned off sugar mostly, may be that’s why I couldn’t taste the bitterness. The amount of protein you get for such low calories is totally worth it, IMO.

    My Unsweetened seemed too thick but I'll try again

    August 16, 2020

    Thanks for listing the ingredients here; I poured out my Good Karma Unsweetened when it seemed to be thickening too much on my first and fourth day after opening. That had not happened with a previous 1/2 gallon (refrigerated) or with the pea-protein version I tried first. I’ll try again though, the flavor and very low calories are both positives.

    I was told to avoid almonds (dairy allergy) and thought I was finished as far as milk. I tried Good Karma Flaxseed milk and was sold. Delicious!

      Can I heat flax milk?

      • Alisa Fleming on June 25, 2018 2:17 pm

        Yes and no. You will likely lose some of the Omega 3 benefits if you heat it. It does heat okay though, as long as it isn’t a type with added protein.

        • Dave on December 6, 2018 5:01 am

          I have been heating flax milk with my son’s oatmeal in the mornings. I use the Good Karma + Protein. Per your comment above, is that an issue? Thanks,

          • Alisa Fleming on December 6, 2018 7:01 am

            For making sauces and such, the protein can cause it to thicken strangely – it’s more of a consistency thing with the added protein. Protein isn’t destroyed when heated. However, it is very likely that at least some of the Omega-3 benefits are lost when you do heat it. You might want to cook the oatmeal with water (traditional) and then add the milk beverage for maximum benefits.

    2. W. Barry Webb on February 26, 2018 5:53 am

      Love the milk and the comments! Coming off almond milk b/c of something negative i’ve read! Think this will be a great alternative!

    3. sule on September 3, 2017 9:15 pm

      I do make my yogurt at home ( feels less stuff in it) , can I use flax milk instead cow milk?

      • Alisa Fleming on September 4, 2017 7:54 am

        It isn’t quite that simple sule. I would use a dairy-free specific yogurt recipe or add thickener – it will end up too watery otherwise.

    4. Isabella on September 3, 2017 7:29 am

      Due to my life threatening allergies to milk and tree nuts, I haven’t found many alternative milks available for me to drink. My favorite rice and soy brands now share their facilities with almond milks and other nut based milks, so I can’t trust them any longer. Luckily, I found Good Karma Flax milk! I prefer the original for its hint of sweetness and the texture is amazing! It is by far the best alternative to dairy milk I’ve ever tried. At first I noticed it gave me slight cramping after I drank it, but I believe that was just my body trying to learn what it was I was consuming (I don’t often have flax). I kept drinking it in small amounts and it no longer affects me. This milk is great, and I even know some people who can have dairy who prefer it over cow’s milk. I highly recommend anyone with a nut/dairy allergy or intolerance to try this milk!

      • Alisa Fleming on September 4, 2017 7:54 am

        That’s interesting about the cramping Isabella. I’ve never heard that before. Glad it is working well for you now and thanks for sharing!

      • Diane on December 28, 2017 3:09 pm

        Well you and I have similar allergies (cow’s milk when I was very young but tree nut allergies for life). I tried their vanilla yogurt for the first time yesterday and definitely had allergic reactions that I know are first signs of full-blown anaphylactic shock. I did not need EpiPen, thankfully, since I have learned Benadryl ingested at the first signs of reaction often stop the problem. I will never feel safe eating products from this company again after such a bad allergic reaction. Only reason I bought it was the carton clearly says it is nut free. I assumed that meant ALL nuts, but no more. Very sad.

    5. Annemarie on June 15, 2016 10:08 am

      I purchased unsweetened Flaxmilk because it was on sale at my grocer. I love it. It takes very similar to cow milk. I use it in every way that I would use cow milk.

      • Alisa Fleming on June 16, 2016 11:34 am

        Fabulous! Glad you found your HG Annemarie and thanks for sharing your own review 🙂

    6. Sara on April 20, 2016 6:06 pm

      FYI, I reached out to Good Karma and recently learned that the Good Karma flax milk (at least the fridge version) is apparently no longer being made for the Canadian market, This is consistent with not being able to find it on the shelves of the one store near me that used to carry it for the last few weeks. Very disappointing.

      • Alisa Fleming on April 20, 2016 9:05 pm

        That’s a bummer. I was told that it would be distributed in Canada. I’ll follow up.

        • GUY on August 10, 2016 6:46 am

          Any news about the Canadian market? I’ve tried soy, almonds, coconut, rice,… name it. Digestion is so much easier with flax milk. Just finished the last I had in reserve (used to buy it a dozen at a time).

          As of August 8, it’s not on the shelves of Tau or Rachelle-Béry (RB). And RB returned my call telling me they don’t carry it anymore. Even Amazon won’t sell it across the border. (Will I have to smuggle it through the border?)

          • Alisa Fleming on August 16, 2016 10:51 am

            No news yet, but I’m finally seeing it more on shelves in the US (we weren’t seeing it either), so hopefully it will come back up there soon.

    7. Randy Gilmore on February 4, 2016 8:42 pm

      What does Good Karma use for the 25% B12 ? Is it CYANOCOBALAMIN?

      • Alisa Fleming on February 4, 2016 9:29 pm

        You would need to reach out to the company directly Randy. I’m not affiliated with them and wouldn’t know these kind of details.

    8. Devon on August 3, 2015 3:39 pm

      Would this be recommended for Diabetics? (i.e. unsweet flax milk)

      • Alisa Fleming on August 4, 2015 7:08 am

        Best to consult your physician or dietitian on this Devon. Is it low sugar? Probably, you can see on the carton. But you may have other needs for your diet.

      • amaya on August 26, 2015 9:05 am

        Yes. The unswwetened version works great. I use it daily for my fresh fruit smoothies. I have used it when making my mocha coffees as well.

      • Gloria on October 2, 2016 6:37 am

        I just discovered this product after having managed my diabetes for 10 years without meds. It not only brings back the flavor of milk into my very low-carb-high fat diet (therefore no milk – too high in natural sugars) but it has almost nil effect on my glucose (I test six times a day — before and after each meal). I regularly stay between 85 and 110 on the meter. A1c which I take monthly is 5.7 to 6.2. I am NOT “borderline/pre” diabetic. I am full-blown and was in the 300s after meals 10 years ago. So, my reaction to the flax milk can be taken seriously. It is a great product for diabetics.

        • Alisa Fleming on October 9, 2016 7:58 am

          That’s great! Thank you for sharing your review of Good Karma Gloria!

    9. Simone on March 11, 2015 7:51 pm

      I eat 1 spoon of flax seed mixed with yogurt every day to loose weight, and today I bought flaxseed milk to drink every night, I hope can help me to stabilize my digestion.

    10. Donna on December 7, 2014 7:24 pm

      Would you use the unsweetened in mashed potatoes, cream soups, and sauces? Do you know what chains carry it? (Kroger, Aldi, Meijer, etc.?) TIA!

      • Alisa Fleming on December 9, 2014 10:16 am

        I would recommend unsweetened. The companies should have store locators for their products!

      • Johanna on April 21, 2015 10:10 am

        Donna, I found it in Meijers and Krogers and tried it in mashed potatoes (virtually impossible to detect a difference from other milk and milk alternatives) and a gluten free pancake mix from Bisquick that has become our family’s favorite. Planning to try it with cereal next. I have the unsweetened vanilla and in addition to its other great qualities, it has 5 grams of protein!

      Flaxseed milk taste amazing, and is a great alternative for people who have nut allergies.
      Great post.

      I’ve actually tried the Good Karma Flax Plus (vanilla) and absolutely love it. I felt like my mornings were lacking some protein, and I love that this particular one has 5g of protein, almost as much as eating an egg! It definitely helps add that protein I felt like I was missing. The vanilla isn’t too sweet to me, however, I love how creamy it is. I add it to my oatmeal in the morning (I eat mine cold right now since it’s still so hot out), smoothies, coffee, etc. The taste takes a little getting used to, but now I can’t buy any other milk. It also lacks carrageenan, which was hard to find in a dairy free milk alternative, so WIN for Good Karma!

      Hello,
      I just tried the unsweetened yesterday and today. The taste is fine but notice it caused bloating, a light nausea, and diarrhea. Is it because I started with 2glasses a day?

        No idea! That seems like an odd response. I’d check with your physician.

      • amaya on August 26, 2015 9:07 am

        It is possible. The milk is new to your body so your body is not sure how to process it yet. Check with your doctor, but cut back to on serving (8oz glass) per day and see if that helps.

        Your not alone.I also feel nausea from drinking flaxmilk!

        • Dan on November 25, 2017 11:28 am

          Same problem for me. Just purchased Good Karma Vanilla Flax Milk for my coffee and had the same reaction … nausea, diarrhea, and lots of gas (smelly). This is the exact same reaction I have from dairy products (lactose intolerant). Had to throw out the rest.

          • Alisa Fleming on November 27, 2017 5:37 pm

            SO strange. I’m going to give them a heads up. Have you contacted the company about it?

            • Peaches on September 8, 2018 3:24 am

              Same thing has happened to me today. Severe diahrrea. It’s not uncommon. Flax milk causes this for some, I’ll have to go back to almond milk.

      Just purchased my first carton of Good Karma . The vanilla taste really good. It’s a step up from using Almond Milk and Soy Milk for my oatmeal, cereals and a glass in between meals , it’s very good with no after taste. I would highly recommend flax milk. Thank you!

      • Alisa Fleming on February 6, 2014 8:42 pm

        Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this product Vicki!

      What actual nutrition does FlaxMilk provide? I like using it in breakfast smoothies, but it has no protein so that doesn’t replace what one would get with milk or soy.

      • Alisa Fleming on February 10, 2014 8:53 am

        Cheryl, everyone defines “nutrition” differently. Flaxmilk typically has healthy omega oils and is fortified with vitamins and minerals. If you are seeking protein, I would use nut or seed butter in smoothies (amazing!), dairy-free protein powder, or look for a protein-enriched milk alternative like the almond milk from So Delicious.

      • Rhonda McKnight on February 16, 2014 3:24 pm

        Good Karma sells a Flaxmilk fortified with 5 grams of protein. I get it at Whole Foods here in Atlanta. My son is 8, allergic to soy and nuts and cows milk and I’ve never been able to get him to drink rice milk. A friend suggested the Good Karma Flaxmilk and he has two cups a day. I’m so happy about this product.

      • stef on November 29, 2014 6:56 am

        I use flax seed in my smoothie every morning with a very amazing vegan protien powder made of peas!! Every morning I put the protien, my flax seed milk, and a handful of blueberries in my blender and BAM, best breakfast ever!! If you need details on the protien brand please let me know.

    16. Zann on October 25, 2013 6:55 am

      I am looking at Good Karma’s website & my aseptic carton of their unsweetened original flax milk. Both ingredient lists show carageenen.

      I have been very happy since discovering flax milk – both because of the very low calories and because it is the ONLY non-animal milk that I can stand in my black tea, the latter being the last stand of dairy in my life!

    17. suzanne on June 16, 2013 5:00 pm

      I recently found the Good Karma brand of Flax Milk at Wholefoods (south Florida Pinecrest location) and it was the ONLY Flax Milk that DID NOT contain Carageenan. The Flax USA brand DOES have carageenan. This additive has recently been found to be disruptive to the gastrointestinal system and is unfortunately added to all kinds of things for ‘texture’.

      I first bought Flax USA brand but it says that this product is manufactured on equip. that also processed products containing dairy, soy, peanuts and tree nuts so I could not use it for my daughter since she has allergy’s to those so I bought Good Karma and there’s says that No peanuts or tree nuts are utilized in the production facility. I really hope they are not made in the same facility. As far as I can tell Flax USA in made in North Dakota and Good Karma not sure but I am going to there website to see. Just thought I would let you know. Thank you

      • Molly on March 24, 2013 8:26 am

        I know it’s been awhile, but you can make you own flax milk really, really easy, and it is very inexpensive. That’s what I do to avoid cross contamination with dairy.

        • Ben on April 19, 2016 4:20 am

          How do you make it?

          • Alisa Fleming on April 20, 2016 9:46 am

            How do you make flax milk at home? It’s a little trickier than some milk alternatives as it’s more of an emulsification with cold-pressed flax oil rather than ground seeds. Just grinding the seeds wouldn’t work the same.
