Product Review: So Delicious New Almond Milk Products

By

almond-milk-yogurt-strawberryIn the early days of my veganism, there were only two choices of plant milks – soy or rice. (I remember the girl who was checking me out at the health food store once asking if it was milk made from rice or milk that was supposed to be used to cook rice.) Dairy-free dairy products have come a long way since then, with milks being made from everything from coconut and flax to oats and cashews. Vegan yogurts, creamers, ice creams, and frozen dessert bars were pretty much unheard of back then, so when I find myself in the dairy area of the grocery store, I’m usually in awe of the vegan choices we have now. So Delicious has been a leader in perfecting dairy-free “dairy” products. They recently launched two new tasty almond milk products, and they were kind enough to send me some to try.

 

I was never a big fan of dairy yogurt in my omnivore days, but I do like vegan yogurt now. The So Delicious Dairy-Free Cultured Almond Milk “yogurts” are creamy, and, well… so delicious! These tasty little cups are full of calcium and probiotics, and they make for an excellent breakfast or snack. They are lower in calories, sugar, and sodium than their dairy counterparts. They come in five flavors: plain, blueberry, strawberry, vanilla, and my personal favorite – chocolate.

 

almond-milk-creamer-french-vanillaI’m not much of a coffee drinker, but after pulling the So Delicious Almond Milk Creamers out of the delivery box, I had a hankering of a cup of joe. I didn’t actually have any coffee in the house at the time, so I had to make do with herbal coffee substitute (which is just as good in my opinion!). I’ve since picked up a few bottles of cold-brewed coffee, and I’ve been making afternoon iced coffees. With a supply of Almond Milk Creamers at the ready, I could get myself hooked on lattes! The creamers come in original and French vanilla and are the perfect accompaniment to your morning brew. They’re gluten-free, soy-free, oil-free, and a much healthier alternative to cow’s milk creamer.

 

So Delicious products are always non-gmo certified and certified vegan. Because they are 100% plant-based, they area also hormone free, dairy free, egg free, and cholesterol free. The new almond milk products are also free of carrageenan.

    I like to use the So Delicious plain creamer (red container) in my tea. Would love to try the almond one instead of coconut!

    OH my god – i am so with you on the soy and rice milk! To be honest, I hated rice milk so much the first time I tried it, I only re-tried it again this year. Our food quality and choices have certainly come a long way!

    Thanks for the review – I am madly in love with So Delicious and all of the ridiculously high quality products.

    I’m not a fan of their soy creamers, so I’m definitely interested in trying these almond based options. I also love almond milk yogurt.

    I say I love coffee, but the truth is I really love hazelnut creamers!! In the past it has been my one downfall in being “totally” vegan. Yea!!! There is an option for me now!!

  22. Beth says

    I can only pick one favorite?? I use the hazelnut coconut creamer in my coffee everyday. I love it!!! Their ice cream is so delicious too! I can’t wait to try the almond creamer and coco whip!!

    I love all of the products, but my daughters favorite is the Almond Milk “yogurts” in any flavor and I love the ice creams.

  28. Adrienne says

    I’ve never tried any of their products but I’ll be sure to check them out now! Especially the yogurt, I don’t put creamer in my coffee.

  33. Amy B says

    I’ve had the creamers which are great, but am really intrigued with the cultured products as well as the ice cream/yogurt…. hmmmm….

    JavaMocha Almond dessert bars are favorites, and in the cold weather, I enjoy the specialty creamers as a treat in my coffee while knocking out a weekend project.

    Absolutely LOVE the Vanilla Bean Coconut Milk frozen dessert! I’ll sit down with a spoon and the container, telling myself I’m NOT going to eat it all in one sitting and each time I DO! I simply can’t stop myself, it’s that good 🙂
