What You Should Know

You'd spot this 365 Unsweetened Almond Beverage in the dairy-alternatives aisle or refrigerated shelf at Whole Foods — a grab for cereal, coffee, or a low-calorie smoothie. It projects a wholesome, practical vibe: unsweetened and marketed as a healthy everyday swap for cow's milk. The ingredient list (sunflower lecithin, gellan gum, dipotassium phosphate, calcium carbonate and added vitamins) points to industrial formulation for smooth texture, stability and fortification, which are hallmarks of highly processed plant-based milks.
