Almond milk
I took another look at the Blue Diamond site today and I have to say: for a site about almonds, the almond industry, and relatively unknown products like Almond Milk, it’s an attractive, informative site. All sorts of information about the health benefits of almonds as well as commentary on the current state of the almond crop.
As I’ve mentioned before, I love their chocolate almond milk, and just this week I picked up their vanilla almond milk. I haven’t tried it yet, but if it’s as good as the chocolate is, I’ll be pleased.

@Mike (#49) in regards to almonds and almond prices, you get what you pay for. Almonds are one of the best things you could ever eat. Loaded with nutrition and high in vibrational energy. Almonds rock. I would pay almost anything for them as they provide my body with many nutrients I wouldnt necessarily get otherwise.
Almonds are also a convenient snack to carry with you.
The price difference between making your own almond milk is not a factor. They’re completly different products. Once is manufactured, one is created with love by your own hand. One has very little almond content (but rather a milk substitute), where the other is blended almonds with a pitted dates or agave.
Just a word to the wise as well, in the US, Almonds are required to be pasteurized as of the fall of 2008, so there are no true raw almonds in the US any more.
Here in Canada, we’ve now imported our almonds from Europe since the USDA required the almonds growers to pasteurize. Pasteurization kills – that’s what it does.
Please do not use soy milk
My 5 year old loves soy milk but after taking it for almost a year he was showing all the symptom’s of ADHD
He did not like the almond milk so he is getting mix of cow and goat milk and he is back to being a normal healthy boy
Can someone recommend a source for raw, organic, unpasteurized almonds?
Kelly–a sub for eggs is 1TBS flaxseed mill to 3 TBS water boiled and simmered a recipe would be on a box of flax seed mill or you can grind your own flax in a coffee grinder and look up a recipe online..sometimes its something you learn from trial and error
as far as almond milk, its the best thing Ive ever had. I’ve recently discovered that dairy is the source of my stubborn acne and started off substituting soy until i found out about almond milk–its the closest to cows milk yet. soy milk is thick and gritty to me, which while i love that consistency, it doesnt compare to that of cows milk. I have noticed that Blue Diamond Almond milk is closer in consistency to cow’s milk than Pacific, but I get the feeling that Pacific is a more trust worthy company.
that’s a lot of info here. thanks for all your generous sharing.
any advice regarding goat milk (1. powerdered form 2. fresh but pasteurised form) and tofu (labelled as non genetically modified) ?
i read that tempeh is a good, safe traditional alternative to tofu.
