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.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
