What You Should Know

You'd find this Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconutmilk in the dairy-alternative aisle or chilled section, grabbed for coffee, smoothies, cereal or baking as a non-dairy staple. It reads as a healthy, convenient option with a light vanilla indulgence, but the use of emulsifiers, gelling agents, natural flavors and added vitamins reveals industrial processing used to create a smooth texture and long shelf stability—characteristic of highly processed beverages.

Common Questions about Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Coconutmilk, 32 FZ

It really depends on your perspective! At just 40 calories per cup, it’s low in calories and sugars, making it a decent option if you’re watching your weight. However, while it contains some vitamins and minerals, it’s not a powerhouse of protein or fiber, so it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet rather than a sole source of nutrition.
