We have not yet trialed Malk Pure Nut Milks, so this is an informational review post only. I cannot yet give it a rating or personally weigh in on the taste, texture, etc, but if you have tried it, please do leave a comment with your own review!
Cold-pressed, artisan, organic, and free of thickeners, it doesn’t get any cleaner than Malk. Every large bottle (3.5 servings) contains over 1 cup of nuts, and not much else. There is no carrageenan, lecithin, gum, fortification, or flavorings within. Just organic nuts, filtered water, and Himalayan salt. Depending on the variety, there may be some organic maple syrup and/or vanilla stirred in, too.
The makers of Malk cold pressurize rather than heat pasteurizing the dairy-free milk beverages. This allows the nuts to retain natural enzymes, nutrients and vitamins not found in many other brands. Also, due to the large number of nuts used, you will find a good dose of protein, fats and even fiber in these plant-based milk beverages. However, the amounts vary by nut, with almond being the highest in calcium, protein and fiber.
Currently Malk comes in dairy-free Unsweetened Almond Milk, Maple Pecan Milk, Vanilla Almond Milk, and Unsweetened Cashew Milk. They also have some creamy cold-brewed coffee beverages (in 12 ounce sizes) and seasonal varieties. At this time of writing, Malk Organics is a small, family-owned, Texas business that is still growing roots. But thus far, they have launched in the Whole Foods Market Southwest region (OK, LA, AR, and TX), and will hopefully go nationwide soon!

I recently tried the Vanilla Almond flavor Malk. This is the only commercially produced almond milk I’ve had that tastes similar to homemade. Other almond milks, whether in tetrapaks or the refrigerated section at the market, taste funny to me. I don’t know if that has to do with the packaging or other factors, but I was pleasantly surprised with Malk. Ounce for ounce it’s also more expensive than others I’ve tried, but compared to the hassle and mess of homemade it’s probably worth it (organic almonds are not cheap).
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this Scott!

How thick is he MALK Pure Pecan supposed to be? I bought one and it seems very thick and slimy. Don’t know if that is normal (does not appear so from the photos I’ve seem) or if it has soiled. Is it safe or do I need to take it back to the store?
I can’t say on thickness since I haven’t tried it Beth, but I’m guessing slimy is not good! Did you contact the company?
The pecan Malk is wonderful. Truly a treat. I use it in my chocolate Pure Paleo protein shake with a spoonful of added raw cacao powder for extra antioxidant power. It tastes like a milkshake. I love that it doesn’t have the nasty and unnecessary additives that so many nut milks do. I’ve begun recommending these nut milks to my nutrition clients now. I loved discovering they are made right here in Houston!
Thanks so much for sharing your review of it Mary Ann! So fantastic that you’ve been able to recommend it, too.

Well they’re definitely sold in your NEW neck of the woods, so you should see them!
Thank you so much for this post, Alisa! 🙂 We’re working hard to expand in the east and northeast, so hopefully soon. We’ve received excellent feedback thus far!

It is a cute name indeed! Hannah can be really picky, too, so that is high praise!
The maple pecan Malk is just HEAVENLY. I would pay terrible sums of money to get it out on either coast.
So good to know – thanks Hannah! Hopefully it will be out east very soon!
