Name: Friendly Farms Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
Brand: Friendly Farms

Munch or Dump rates Friendly Farms Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk by Friendly Farms OKAY — score 58/90.

Mostly filtered water with a small fraction of almonds, unsweetened and essentially sugar-free. It leans on a stabilizer stack (gellan gum, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin) plus dipotassium phosphate and added vitamins to stay emulsified and fortified. A fine low-calorie dairy swap, but a processed beverage, not a whole food.

Why this verdict

Unsweetened with zero added sugar
Very low calorie, roughly 30 kcal per cup
Stabilizer stack: gellan gum, xanthan gum, sunflower lecithin
NOVA 4 processing with added natural flavors and phosphate
