Updated April 2024! 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 has made a go of it with more affordable pricing and a popular creamy formula. This dairy-free beverage is now available across the U.S. in a range of varieties for breakfast, baking, and enjoying coffeehouse favorites.
Milkadamia Macadamia Milk Now in 7 Dairy-Free Varieties
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. They started with a classic line of lightly sweetened and unsweetened flavors. But over the years, they’ve added barista milks and ready-to-drink lattes to the mix. If you leave a review below, be sure to indicate which type(s) you’ve tried!

Milkadamia Macadamia Milk FAQs
Why Does Milkadamia Taste Different than I Remember?
The company has reformulated their core milk alternative a couple of times in the past five years. They lightened it up a bit first, and later made it a touch thicker and added more fortification. The changes were minor, but some people did notice the difference.
What is Barista Milk?
Milkadamia’s macadamia milk is multi-purpose, for using on cereal, in smoothies, for recipes, and even splashing in coffee or tea. But their barista milk is formulated with a little more richness and the ability to froth and foam, so you can make coffeehouse style drinks at home.
Is Milkadamia a U.S. or Australian Product?
Milkadamia is a U.S. product made by a U.S. division of an Australian company called Jindilli. “Some people assume we’re an American company, but we’ve always been an Australian owned company in fact and at heart,” owner Morgan Roy says. “We started in the US just because it’s a larger market and we want to support Australian farmers though exports.”
Are the Macadamias for Milkadamia Grown in Australia?
They were initially grown on the family’s Jindilli Farm. But as the brand grew, their small farm couldn’t support the production needs. So they now source nuts from other macadamia farms in Australia and South Africa.

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.
Won't buy again
This is gross. Why would I buy this if I can also buy almond milk. It tastes really bad.
Yumm
I’ve tried many of the other milk alternatives and this is the only one Palatable in a glass.
Waiting on other products like yogurt and maybe ice cream!!!!???
Best hot cocoa!
I make low cal hot chocolate with this macadamia milk, unsweetened cocoa, Swerve sweetener and vanilla extract
Milkadamia Rocks!
Love this nut milk. Never curdles in my coffee. Has a creamy texture. Not watery. Very homogenized. Spendy but worth it. I’ve used it for 3 years & never had a bad 32 oz. box.
