I just recently tried this and like it but can only use 1/2 a carton a week. Has anyone frozen it? Does it still taste OK to drink after that? Any advice?

I know of no reason why it can't be frozen. But I make my own nut milks with a blender. That way there's no leftovers, and it saves money too.

Now that you've mentioned it, I've wondered about this, too. I checked the Pacific Foods website and this is what they say about freezing their non-dairy beverages--

Of course, even having read this I would probably go ahead and just use it in recipes. It may not be the best to drink, though.

I only use the Pacific, and I don't believe their milks come in individual sizes--I wish they did!

A couple of their broths do, though.....

I get the Pacific Low Fat Chocolate Almond Beverage (yumm). They came out with individual drink boxes with straw couple months ago (nice size for breakfast or to bring somewhere). They also have Vanilla in the small size. 4 Pack 8oz each.

Oh wow--thank you! I was just in Whole Foods on Sunday picking up a few cartons, and didn't see the individuals. Great news!! :)

I don't have a large health food store near me... but I got mine in Smith's (believe same as Ralph's and Kroger grocery store). This is the only place I have seen them so far.

I have found that Pacific nut milks keep for much longer than the 7 days or whatever that it says on the box. (Their chicken broth says the same thing, so I think they just put that time frame on all their stuff.) If you'll finish the box in two weeks (you said half a box a week, right?), it's probably fine to just leave it in the fridge.

yeah i use both pacific and blue diamond almond milks for my cereals and protein shakes, and i rarely use it within 7 days of opening. i would say that i use it within 2 weeks though and it stays fine.

Wow. :blink:

I don't have a problem with dairy, but I like almond milk so much,I could easily finish it off in one day.

i have frozen it before and it sorta works, but it's not great. i only drink Almond Breeze (best flavor IMO), and after freezing it tends to seperate and looks a little dicey. the taste is ok, but a little weird.

Well, hey, they say to drink 8 cups of liquid a day, right? One carton of Almond Breeze is only 4 cups!

I make mine fresh daily as needed with my vitamix and a jelly strainer. Never waste any. :)

You have a point! I guess on some level I still think of it as milk, which I have a lifelong aversion to because of the problems it gives me! :lol:

I'm trying to figure out how the almond milk affects my BG and what nutrition I get from it. But it's more calories that water at least and I need the calories!

My homemade doesnt spike my BG at all. I use stevia to sweeten it.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
