Reviewer: Amy in Kentucky |
| I was reluctant to buy almond milk again because I have had bad experiences with other brands basically being sweetened almond flavored water. Not this time, Blue Diamond Almond Breeze is rich, smooth and creamy with a light almond flavor. As someone who watches carbs, I am very happy that Blue Diamond has offered this and the flavored versions without sugar. I wish more companies would realize that there are many of use who want sugerless options so we can add a healthier sugar free/low glycemic option of our own choosing.
The other flavors, unsweetened chocolate and unsweetened vanilla, are also equally delicious. Low carbers may notice that there is a bit of starch added; with 3 grams of fat per cup and only 2 net carbs, I think a little starch is worth the payoff, especially if you don't want a "frankenfood" version of milk or don't like soy. I have used this in tea, baking and cooking and have had great results. I feel the almond flavor did not make much of a difference in the final cooked product. The recipe possiblities are endless; hot chocolate, egg nog, sauces...it's up to you... and your imagination.
It's also a good option for vegans. |

| Today I placed a second order for this amazing drink. I have missed chocolate milk since low carbing but Almond Breeze Unsweetened Chocolate drink has proven to be a great substitute. I added a teaspoon of Fiberfit sweetener and I was shocked by how wonderful it tasted; it has even passed a taste testing by my teenage son. Thank you Netrition for a fast and reliable shipping!! |

Reviewer: James in California |
| This stuff is a cereal lovers dream come true. The taste is smooth and mellow so it won't detract from the taste of your cereal. The consistency is thicker than 1% or fat-free milk and it only has about half the calories per serving. I eat very low sugar cereals and add in a tbsp of splenda and it's perfect! If you see these in stores, make sure that it's the "Unsweetened" Almond Breeze because Blue Diamond also carries a line that is sweetened which will be higher in calories/serving... still good tho. Oh, something else that I love about these is the shelf life. I can safely order a dozen boxes and know that if it takes me 6mo to finish... it's still good! |

Reviewer: Malcolm in Minnesota |
| I have tried all flavors and prefer the original. I can always add my own chocolate or vanilla flavors. Delicious on low carb cereal, in coffee, as a milk substitute in baking, or just by itself. It does add a hint of almond flavor to baked goods. I particularly appreciate the fact that it is unsweetened, leaving me to add the sweetener of my choice (usually Fiberfit). Note that it does need some sweetener--not so good without. |

Reviewer: Barko in Massachusetts |
| Almond Breeze Unsweetened, (both chocolate and vanilla), are life-changing. With such unbelievable nutritional stats, (30-35 cals/cup), Almond Breeze is a staple in my cereal, blended drinks, protein mixes and coffee. I don't think I'll ever use any other milk or milk-substitute product when I have the choice. |

Reviewer: JENNIFER in Texas |
| This almond milk is a LIFE SAVER! It's AMAZING!!! I don't drink regular milk because it causes sinus congestion and soy milk is way too "off" tasting to me so when I decided to try Blue Diamond Almond Milk, I was blown away!
I use it now in my shakes, cereal (yea! I get to have cereal again) & anything else that calls for milk. The chocolate milk is great with a packet of vanilla splenda in it and shaken. Tastes great with a wonderful Sunday Morning breakfast. You'll be shocked and surprised just how close to regular milk it is. Now I'm hoping that Blue Diamond will come up with a cream substitute for using in baking and for coffee. Wouldn't that be heaven on Earth...
With only $4.95 flat rate for shipping, I can buy many of these and have them delivered right to my front door.
Life is Grand! |

| I love Blue Diamond Almond Breeze because it is low carb and low calorie. It tastes good, not sweet like soy milk, and it tastes good in coffee or tea. Other brands of almond milk have a lot of added sugar. This one has no added sugar or sweetener. If you are lactose intolerant and don't like soy or rice milk, this product is for you. |

Reviewer: Linda in Illinois |
| I LOVE the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla flavor. I have to drink 4-5 protein shakes per day and using the Almond Milk in place of the water is a dream come true. The Almond Milk mixes well with any whey isolate protein powder and makes a smooth protein shake.
Less calories, fat and carbs than skim milk. I highly recommend to all! |

| This stuff is great!!! I tried the vanilla (Unsweetened) on my breakfast cereal and it was terrific. Sure beats regular skim milk. It adds just a touch of vanilla flavor to my cereal and at half the calories of skim milk, I am delighted. I think everyone should try it. |

| I've only tried the original, so far, and it's wonderful...just what one would expect from the Blue Diamond almond people! I use it instead of water for cooking my oatmeal, and find that I don't need any milk for either moisture or flavor...just add whatever else I would usually add.
Can't wait to try the two flavors! |

Reviewer: Chloe in Texas |
| Saves me time, money, tastes great, and does just what I want it to. I wanted a low-carb, low-calorie, non-dairy "milk" to use for protein powder shakes (I use Jay Robb whey sweetened with stevia) for the Up Day/Down Day nutrition plan I am following. I did not want to be in the kitchen soaking nuts, straining nuts, etc. After 60+ years on the planet, I am done with "cooking." Unsweetened is fabulous. I use 2 cases a month (24). Blue Diamond direct has a better price, but over-the-top shipping, so in the end Netrition has the best price, BECAUSE of the UPS ground shipping costs. And I might add excellent customer service. |

| I have tried all three, they are all great, I like the vanilla the best. I love Almond Breeze because it is non dairy and the first drink I have been able to use on cereal, or just drink it. Thanks for a great non dairy drink. I have diabetes and it doesn't spike my sugar either. I have tried Soy milk, and all I can say is Thank Goodness for Almond Breeze!!! |

| I love this stuff! I have never cared for any type of milk product, but I read the reviews on this and decided to give it a go. I use it with granola, in sauces, protein shakes, baking, etc. It's perfect because not only is it low in carbs, but easy on the calories as well. Delicious to boot! I'm a fan of all the flavors. |

Reviewer: Michelle in Ohio |
| We have been using Almond Breeze in our home for over a year. Now that we are Low Carbing, we find the sugar free product essential with our low carb cereals for a typical quick breakfast. I love that it has a great shelf life and I can stock up on it. Its flavor beats soy milk, and the fact that it is also low in fat helps me heartwise, too. I have tried all of the Almond Breeze products and prefer the vanilla flavor with cereal and the original with my cooking. The chocolate is good for hot cocoa with some SF syrups added for sweetening. |

| Love this product hot with 4 shots of Da Vinci sugar free Chi syrup. Ordered Da Vinci egg nog, vanilla and chocolate to do more of the same. Love this over my hot cereal Flax Z Snax. I can drink milk but why when this is half the calories and thicker than skim. Also ordered the chocolate to make hot chocolate with as others have done. |

Reviewer: Kelly in Massachusetts |
| This is the BEST stuff ever! I use this in place of skim milk for my protein shakes. It's half the calories ounce for ounce of skim milk.. It tastes excellent. It's unsweetened and even has some fiber. It really adds a nice creamy texture to my morning shakes. How can you go wrong with 40-45 calories per cup? I've tried the chocolate, vanilla, and original and my favorite and most useful is the vanilla. Chocolate was nice but could only use it for my chocolate protein shakes - wasn't versatile enough for me. I tried to use it in place of milk in my sugar free pudding and it was NOT good. I guess to me the flavor of vanilla tastes great added to anything so it's most useful in my world. |

Reviewer: A customer in Massachusetts |
| I LOVE this milk. To be sure, it does not taste like cow's milk (which I adore but cannot drink), but it has a similar mouth feel and a similar sweet taste. Over the years I have tried soy, rice, and hemp milk (yuck yuck and yuck). Almond milk is the fist non-dairy beverage I enjoy on its own. It's tasty plain, but it is delicious (and makes a complete meal) mixed in the blender with protein powder and frozen berries for thickening. For a dessert-like milkshake, I love Almond Breeze chocolate with chocolate PP, a half a frozen banana, psyllium (to decrease the glycemic load), and a little sugar-free chocolate Davinci's syrup. The possibilities of smoothies are endless. I pray this product is never discontinued. |

| I tried soy milk and was very disappointed. Almond Breeze is amazing. The unsweetened version is great for my diet and by adding just a little Splenda you get a sweetened version without the extra calories. I've used it for drinking, cooking and baking and had excellent, and delicious, results. I just placed my 2nd order for all 3 flavors and can't wait for it to arrive! |

Reviewer: Deanna in Connecticut |
| I am thrilled with the Almond Breeze Unsweetened, both the chocolate and the vanilla (I have not tried the original). While I really like them both, I am more attracted to the vanilla flavor. I like it by itself, over cereal, to use in coffee or even to cook with. Very yummy! I do wonder if my not eating sugar makes the unsweetened variety taste better to me, however, as my honey feels that it needs a sweetener, however for those that like it a bit sweeter one can be added to preference. I just ordered 5 cartons and do wish that it was carried locally, but they only carry the sweetened varieties in my area. Thankfully Netrition is always looking out for us and has this great stuff just a few short clicks away. Thanks Netrition! |

| I like this a lot. All three flavors are excellent. I love that they are unsweetened and low-carb. The almonds give it a little bit of a sweet taste on its own so some might be happy enough drinking it straight. I prefer to add a little Neutragenics FiberFit sweetener to it, myself, unless I'm using it in something which is already sweet, such as Flax-Z-Snax granola. |

Reviewer: Kevin in Pennsylvania |
| Having a person in the household that is lactose intolerant can make it challenging to prepare foods that typically contain dairy products so that everyone can eat the same food. Almond Breeze has proved to be a great substitute in recipes that typically call for dairy. Although there have only been a very few cases where I could not duplicate the properties I needed from cream, there were just as many that I thought the final results were better than if I had used dairy. Chocolate and vanilla as well as the unflavored Almond Breeze are a staple in my household. Being able to buy it unsweetened is a big plus also. |

| OMG I love this product. The chocolate just blows Carb Countdown's chocolate milk out of the water, and I loved that stuff. This is rich and silky. Heat it up in the microwave and it's the best cocoa ever, for even fewer calories and carbs than CC. I used the regular in cooking and have not noticed any adverse results. This is fantastic stuff with a very low carb count and a calorie count that's dreamy. Please make more and put it on the store shelves! |

I have tried it with Flax Snax cinnammon Granola, Big Train coffee and Holy Cow cocoa. And with only 1 net carb per 8 oz serving and 40 calories, the taste is simply amazing. Period. |

I thoroughly enjoyed the other two however. I use it in my oatmeal, mixing protein shakes, drinking straight up. It is a great product all in all. |

I drink it straight or pour it over low carb cereal and it's very tasty. I haven't tried it for baking, but it may work as a good sub for milk in some recipes. |

| Have tried all flavors. If you are allergic to milk, this makes a passable substitute. This has a thinner consistency than milk and doesn't whiten coffee a great deal. Taste is good. You may want to add your own sweetener to the chocolate. Good substitute if you cannot have milk or soy. |
