Updated October 2021! Macadamia nuts are native to Australia, which is where this brand got their start. Because of the price (those nuts aren’t cheap!), macadamia milk has struggled to take hold in the market. But Milkadamia Macadamia Milk seems to be making a go of it with more affordable pricing and a popular creamy formula. This dairy-free beverage has stuck around for several years, and it’s available in both shelf-stable and larger refrigerated cartons.
Milkadamia Macadamia Milk is a Dairy-Free Favorite from Down Under
Macadamias are pretty darn creamy on their own. But to make a more consumer-ready beverage, Milkadamia makes a thinner macadamia milk that’s well emulsified, but still carrageenan-free. It’s supposedly quite enjoyable for drinking, cereal, and coffee, but you be the judge. Leave your rating and review below once you’ve tried it!

Too many ingredients
There are nut milks that have fewer ingredients. Water. Nuts. Himalayan salt. And maybe one other. This milk has a “hospital” taste.
My first non-dairy tryout. Will stay with it for sure.
At age 78, I have been a big consumer of 1% dairy all my life. I am currently looking for painless ways to reduce calories while stepping up my fitness goals. At about 1/3 the calories and 2/3 the fat, I had to try it. Like anything new, there is an aquired taste but this one was easy so I hope it does what I want it to. Too new to tell yet.
Bad Aftertaste
Hoped to like it, but has an aftertaste something like cloves.
Wonderful alternative to milk
This product is delicious and our whole family enjoys it. We drink the unsweetened and the taste is fantastic. Good in everything from coffee to omelets & cereals. So grateful to have found this product. So much better than soy, almond or oat.
great product
delicious, good ingredients, available without sugar.
Would like it to be organic.
Great Product
I have been using milkadamia original for over a year as a coffee creamer, for cereal, to make hot chocolate, etc.
I found that this milk alternative has a smoother taste than almond, oak and other nut mikes. Personal preference, I guess.
Thank you for this product. Any ideas of making an organic alternative?
Amazing
Amazing
Not for Cereal, but Great for Baking
Recently started drinking Almond milk & decided to test out other plant based milks. The unsweetened vanilla taste great! However, the texture is more creamy for cooking baking or coffees & drinks. But not for cereal. The milk thickened & became slimy in my Apple Jacks. Next time, I will try Coconut & Oat Milk before returning to Almond.
Delicious
I was having a very hard time getting off of cow milk. I tried several of the nut and other types of milk. Hands down, this one did the trick. I don’t like nuts, so I was hesitant. Glad I took the plunge. Hope it stays around.
Love it in my coffee!
Unsweetened vanilla makes my coffee a treat without feeling guilty.
