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.

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
