I bought almond breeze for twice price, and serious breakdown of what's inside, it's not even 20% almonds and it's better to eat those as genuine. So a splash milky product with flavourings, fortified vitamins but not from almonds as that only 2%
Should even be allowed to call it almond milk!!

Ingredients:
No sugar added (Contains naturally occurring sugars). Water, Almonds (2%), Mineral (Calcium Carbonate), Sea Salt, Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Stabiliser (Gellan Gum), Flavouring, Vitamins (A, D2 and E).

And say American food industry is bad, but I tend to trust their allergies lists, if I buy rice flour and can't read language then it's issue gluton free.....which is pity.
Seriously import these Indonesian products and again add 300% markup

Not just 2 Min noodles, but no noodles are healthy, this is un-westernised diet that's also processed and unhealthy, just as guilty.

Review various milk alternatives, or rather say take your vitamins and this is best milky splash for food.

Seriously if you break harmeish diet by eating peanut butter or even these so called health alternatives, you were warned

Almond milk powder:
Corn syrup solids, Vegetable fat (Palm fruit oil),
Maltodextrin, Dextrose Monohydrate, Almond flour
(10%), Salt, Calcium carbonate, Flavourant (Almond;
Creamy Premix), Thickeners (Xanthan Gum, Guar
Gum), Emulsifier (Casein E469), Ascorbic acid,
Nicotinamide, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Calcium D-
pantothenate, Dry Vitamin D, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride,
Riboflavin, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12, Folic
acid, Biotin, Free flowing agent (Silica), Stabilizers
(E340, E450).

It doesn't say how many nuts were ground up, but corn syrup - bad
E - msg - bad
Basically artificially flavoured almond powder.

Cool,
So is there any nutritional value in rice cakes, um no. But with no flavourings these good for lunchbox. But nutrition is zero same as rice crispies.
Even if use oven baked techniques for green banana chips, it's doubtful they used macadamia nut oil but it's healthy, ye um. Right

I wonder what diet a ninja would follow, maybe harmeish Japanese diet, as none of these Indonesian foods are actually healthy snacks. Ouch
And very very expensively marked up, I might add.

Buttanut oat milk

This one seems to be best, can also make your own at home.

A delightfully delicious and creamy South African oat milk. Made with simple ingredients, this malty milk is sure to become a daily staple. Enjoy in soothing golden lattes or velvety flat whites. Pour over granola, use in smoothies, or drink straight up.

Ingredients: Water, gluten-free oats (8%), canola oil, salt, calcium carbonate, tricalcium citrate, acidity regulator (potassium citrate).

WHAT AND WHY?
ButtaNutt has always strived to use pure, simple ingredients. For this reason we want you to understand all our ingredient choices.


TRIPOTASSIUM CITRATE is a water-soluble mineral salt and source of potassium. Its main role here is to control the pH of the milk, keep it stable and creamy.


CANOLA OIL is a non-GMO vegetable oil derived from the rapeseed plant. It’s locally-sourced, has a neutral flavour and is high in monounsaturated fat. We’ve added Canola oil to match the fat content and creamy richness of whole-milk.


CALCIUM CARBONATE is a mineral compound added as a source of calcium to build and protect your bones

I don't consume dairy, so I use oat milk in my coffee and smoothies. I usually stick to certain brands in order to avoid particular additives. Plant-based 'milks' are a product where it's definitely good to read the ingredients list, since some are cleaner than others. When it comes to almond milk, there is also the environmental impact to consider.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I tried Almond Breeze before and was surprised by how little almond is actually in it—just 2%! It feels more like a flavored drink with added vitamins and a bunch of fillers. If you're looking for something closer to real almond milk, I'd suggest checking labels for higher almond content or even making it yourself, since it's pretty easy to do. The markup on imported stuff is always a pain too, especially when it's not even that great for you. It's a bit of a letdown when you're expecting something more natural.
