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!

I never thought I would like, let alone, love a milk substitute
Never say never!
It's good
If you’re looking for a very smooth tasty milk beverage, then this is worth a try. I’ve made macadamia milk, and this is definitely not a nut heavy blend. I honestly couldn’t guess the base if I didn’t already know what it was. Like most milk alternatives on the market, it’s an emulsion that’s crafted to be very drinkable and fortified to make it meet some of the nutrition standards. For that, they’ve done a good job.
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

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.
