Almond Milk Brands

Writing an article on almond milk brands would have been unheard of only about 6 years ago. The demand for almond milk was just in its infancy and waiting in the weeds emerge as a viable milk alternative. The growth in sales has been approximately 250% over the past five years, according to preparedfoods.com. This has contributed to a large decrease in the sales of regular milk over the same period.  Almond milk’s sudden popularity can be partly contributed to the shift to non-dairy living.

We have compiled the following list of almond milk brands simply because it is so popular at the moment. This list should be useful to people seeking to find new brands of almond milk. Please let us know in the comments if we missed an almond milk brand and we will add it to the list in a timely manner.

We should note that there is a column dedicated to carrageenan on the below table. Carrageen is a common ingredient found in almond milk. It is used as a stabilizer or as a thickener and it also helps mimic the texture of a fatty food. Essentially, it is produced from red seaweed. So, what’s the big deal about a little seaweed? Well, tests performed on animals using carrageenan have shown signs of ulcers, colon cancer, diabetes, and gastrointestinal inflammation {source}. Clearly there are forces working against this research since carrageenan is still commonly used in many products. Be sure to check the  label if carrageenan is a concern for you since ingredients can change without notice.
