Almond Breeze Almondmilk Unsweetened Vanilla — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Almond Breeze Almondmilk Unsweetened Vanilla by Blue Diamond Almonds OKAY — score 58/90.
A genuinely light, no-added-sugar almond milk with a short, recognizable ingredient list, held back mainly by its thin nutrition, added flavors, and gum.
Why this verdict
- Short list mostly of water, almonds, and added vitamins/minerals
- No added sugar and no artificial colors
- Barely any protein (about 1g per cup), so it's thin nutrition
- 'Natural flavors' is a vague catch-all and gellan gum is a processing additive
Ingredients (10)
- Almondmilk (filtered water, almonds) (safe) — Mostly water with a small share of almonds; low protein but low calorie.
- calcium carbonate (safe) — Added calcium — a mineral fortificant.
- Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
- Sea Salt (moderate) — Sodium source; no nutritional edge over regular salt.
- POTASSIUM CITRATE (safe) — Real electrolyte; backs the sports-hydration claim.
- Sunflower Lecithin (safe) — Emulsifier; benign.
- gellan gum (moderate) — Stabilizer that keeps almond solids suspended; generally well tolerated.
- Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Standard fortification to replace vitamin A lost when fat is removed. A nutrient, not an additive of concern.
- Vitamin D2 (safe) — Added plant-derived vitamin D.
- D-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E) (safe) — Natural vitamin E, an antioxidant and beneficial fortification.
