GFChris Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 As long as it doesn't contain any nasties like carrageenan. Better off making your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccaowen1 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 These are the ingredients on the whole foods 365 brand of unsweetened almond milk.... Organic almond milk (filtered water, organic almonds) Tri calcium phosphate Sea salt Potassium citrate Organic locust bean gum Gellan gum Organic sunflower lectin Vitamin A palmitate Ergo calciferol (vitamin D2) DL-Alpha tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E) Are these ingredients ok on whole 30?

lilbearzmom Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 It is so incredibly easy to make your own. I soaked raw almonds overnight, added them and 4 cups water to my Ninja blender, blended it on high for a minute, and strained it using a nut milk bag I got from Amazon. I also added some cinnamon to it. When I'm done with W30, I'm going to add a little natural sweetener to it and maybe a dash of vanilla extract. I use it in my coffee as creamer, along with coconut milk, which is also extremely easy to make. Best part is that when you're done, you can dry the leftover pulp for almond flour!

missmary Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I don't see anything on that list that is officially not permitted on the whole30, but it is a pretty processed food. use your own judgement on whether you include it. ps. making your own almond milk (just almond + water) is pretty easy if you want to give it a try.

rebeccaowen1 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for the input! It does seem easy to make, it's just a matter of time for me with a 6 and 2 yr old running around! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmayPA Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ^ This. There's easy, and there's do I even have enough time to do THIS, on top of everything else, even though it's easy. I found Silk Original Unsweetened Almond Milk in the new MOM's organic market (love them already!) and bought a carton to try it out in preparation for a March 1 start. Ingredients: Almondmilk (Filtered Water, Almonds), Sea Salt, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Lecithin, Gellan Gum, Natural Flavor Hoping the "natural flavor" is ok. We'll see. -Emay (a total newbie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholemeggie Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I've done a lot of research, and I'm still struggling to understand what brands of almond milk are permitted on Whole30. I know it is best to make your own almond milk, but I'm very busy and looking for a timesaver. Since the Whole Foods 365 unsweetened almond milk and the Silk unsweetened almond milk don't have carrageenan, are these brands compliant with Whole30? Thanks!

Administrators ladyshanny Posted May 15, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2015 If the product you are looking to purchase does not include ingredients that are on the "no" list, you can buy it. We generally do not recommend brands or product lines because manufacturers can change things on a whim or vary their recipe/ingredients by region. What's safe for me might not be for you. Also wanted to remind you that the Whole30 discourages drinking nut milks (and juices) because calories that are ingested through liquids are not recognized by the brain/body. We'd rather you just eat the almonds. If you're wanting to put it in coffee, that would be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageRescuer Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The WholeFood almond milk has fine print that says it was made in a factory where soy is made...otherwise it seems ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The WholeFood almond milk has fine print that says it was made in a factory where soy is made...otherwise it seems ok That's listed for the safety of people with very serious allergies. If it's not listed in the ingredients, then it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eej2004 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 To those that make their own Almond Milk.....what do you do with the leftover pulp? Is there a way to use it somehow? I would hate to throw it away. Seems like a waste. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to put it through the food processor again, depending on the texture....might not be fine enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Mathias Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I use Silk Unsweetened Cashew Milk, unflavored, and make a tumeric-ginger latte: 1 cup of cashew milk, 1 tsp tumeric, 1 tsp ground ginger and some cinnamon. Heated and blended. Not a fan of tumeric, but I know it's so good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
