Coles are stocking chocolate now! My fave thing to do is turn it into a smoothie with nut butter and banana. Not very creative but very tasty!
With plain almond milk it is
http://fingerforkknife.com/2012/07/19/salted-almond-caramel-brownies/
Raw sheezecakes, acai smoothies, chocolate smoothies! They really bring the recipes to the next level – almond milk that is! 🙂
I love almond milk with my porridge, weetbix and i smoothies. Really we use it with everything, its a main staple in our household.
A really simple and quick dessert idea using Blue Diamond Chocolate Almond Milk is to add
*1.5 cups to a saucepan on a low heat
*2 tablespoons vegan corn flour
Using a whisk continuously stir the mixture over the heat until this liquid thickens.
Once at a pudding-like consistency place in a glass or dessert bowl & top with sliced almonds, goji berries & carob nibs.
Perfect Hot or Cold.
Almond Breeze is amazing in anything, really. Oatmeal, smoothies, cakes, and my favourite, ALMOND BREEZE VEGAN ICECREAM!!!! 😀 … especially made with cinnamon and vanilla and topped with home made dark chocolate sauce. Yumyumyumyum!!!!
I love creme brûlée – an orange-almond creme brûlée made with Almond Breeze and I would say ‘yes’ to anything… ^_^
I did a recipe from another blog for a vegan cream of mushroom soup using almond milk, it was delicious and so creamy thanks to the cauliflower and almond milk. I love the subtle depth of flavour of it and how versatile almonds are. http://oneinspiredmoment.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/vegan-creamy-mushroom-soup.html.
We mostly use it for smoothies but I’m thinking of trying a custard!
I use almond breeze in all my fruit smoothies . I also us it in my chocolate or vanilla protein powders post workout with a piece of fruit . Goes down well especially chilled. Love that almond
breeze is low calorie low fat & low sugar .. Best milk on the market . About time it’s on Australian shelfs
Green smoothie – spinach, banana, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, coconut milk, ice
Oooh chia seed pudding with almond meal and flavourings; cacao powder, any sort of fruit, and seasoning. I have really been enjoying banana, mandarin, cumin and honey lately.
I am always looking for healthy ways to make my favourite desserts. I have always loved panna cotta, so here is a recipe for a delicious almond milk panna cotta.
Almond Milk Panna Cotta
Ingredients
1 Cup sweetened almond milk
1/2 Cup powdered soy milk
1/2 Teaspoon agar agar (vegetarian gelatine substitute)
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1 Passion Fruit and fresh berries to serve
Instructions
In a pot bring to a boil the almond milk and add the soy milk stirring constantly. Mix in the agar agar and boil for 1 more minute so the agar will set. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla, mixing well. Pour the mixture into cups or glasses and cover them with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for a couple of hours to set. Before serving, top with some fresh passion fruit and berries. Enjoy!!
I love almond milk as it is an awesome way to get nutrients into my toddler and baby without irritating their tiny stomachs! We make yummy fruit shakes with it too!
I love making vegan cheese! Just add 3/4 cup of almond breeze milk, 1 cup of soaked almonds, 2 tbs of olive oil, 3 tbs of lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic and a pinch of salt into a blender and there you have a beautiful creamy cheese for lasagne, vegetable bake, etc.
Ooo, I also love making sorbets with it! In a blender just add 1/2 cup of almond milk and around 2 cups of frozen berries and blend! There you have a beautiful and sweet dessert 😀
I love using almond milk in a lot of recipes. Smoothies, which has already been mentioned, is a particular favourite of mine. I find almond milk tastes so much nicer that soy milk, oat or rice milk. I also like using almond milk in desserts. While decadent, honey and almond semifredo is to die for and a great occasional treat.
Instead of using oats for porridge I use quinoa and almond milk with a bag of chai tea and sprinkle of cinnamon whilst it’s cooking. Serve with a smattering of sliced almonds and mint and you have yourself a DELICIOUS breakfast! 😀
Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (homemade or purchased), frozen if you like
1 medium frozen banana
1 cup almond milk (homemade or purchased)
2 Medjool dates, pitted, or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup ice
Procedures
Combine all ingredients in blender and puree until perfectly smooth. Divide between two glasses and serve immediately.
AND
Almond milk as astringent: Use almond milk on your face to control excess oil production on your skin.
This almond and pear ‘thickie’ is amazing! Only three ingredients. Perfect for bleary-eyed mornings.

I haven’t tried almond milk yet – it is on my to do list and I’m thinking this recipe would be a good one to try – Chocolate Almond Mouse http://janellapurcell.com/recipe/chocolate-almond-mousse/
“Mexicocoa”
My Favourite Winter Party Warmer!!!! The almond milk gives it a smooth creamy taste 🙂
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch of chilli powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
190ml almond milk, unsweetened
1 tbsp honey
30ml silver tequila
Paprika
Cinnamon stick
Method
How to make Mexicocoa
In a saucepan over low heat add the cocoa powder, cayenne pepper, cinnamon powder and chilli powder. Toast until spices begin to release their aromas, about a couple of minutes. Using a small whisk or wooden spoon, slowly incorporate the almond milk.
Raise the temperature to medium-high and bring to a slow simmer. Stir in the honey and remove from the heat.
Rim a mug by dipping into a saucer of water, blotting and dipping into a saucer of paprika. Pour in tequila. Add hot cocoa mixture. Stir with a cinnamon stick and serve.
My daughter got me onto Almond milk, now I wouldnt use anything else, i n my coffee cereal cooking everything Love it.
The simplest things are often the best; especially in this case. Porridge using almond milk. And if you’re really feeling like something that little bit special some almond slices, chopped up dates or figs and a drizzle of honey goes a long way. A truly great way to start your day.
My favourite way to use Almond Breeze is in my Apple Cinnamon Muffins
http://stacie-michelle.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/apple-cinnamon-upside-down-muffins.html
(I have had to like the Almond Breeze Australia page through my mum’s Facebook account as I cannot currently access my own)
My ideas for Almond Breeze list is endless!!! I LOVE to add it to my morning smoothies and vegan desserts. By far my favourite recipe yet is neopolitan flavoured ice cream, using only frozen banana & strawberries, vegan protein powder, cacao and a delicious serving of Almond Breeze!
It is also a delightful substitute to dairy milk/cream when making yummy meal sauces! My fave creation is zucchini “pasta” with Almond Breeze alfredo. DELICIOUS! and so simple!

Rich, decadent, creamy chocolate mousse.
Yep. Definitely, my favourite and a regular recipe whipped up in my kitchen.
My version uses avocados whizzed up with unsweetened Almond Breeze, agave syrup and carob powder. You can alternate the sweetener (to honey, sugar, stevia) and the carob (cocoa), but my recipe is GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE and VEGAN!
Here are some pics to drool over….
http://www.forkingdiana.com/2011/12/happy-new-years-eve.html
2 small ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup of agave syrup (or other sweetener of choice)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of carob powder (or cocoa, but you may need to adjust the sweetness)
1/2 cup of Unsweetened Almond Breeze
1. In a food processor add all the ingredients and blend until smooth, remember to scrape down the sides
2. Taste. Add more agave or carob if needed. The consistency should be quite thick, but will firm up when refrigerated. To adjust consistency add more carob or milk.
3. Set mousse in containers of glasses for at least 3 hours before serving.
This is more nutritionally beneficial than ‘normal’ mousse so this is a better alternative. Also the unsweetened almond milk bumps down the calories compared to cream/full fat dairy mousses.
Hope you give it a try. You can use it as a pie filling, spread it on rice cakes, stir into yogurt or like me…. eat it right out of the food processor with a spatular :-/
I love love love almond milk by Almond Breeze it beats any other brand! I drink it as I’m lactose intolerant and because i absolutely love the taste of it! It hands down beats any other milk because i both enjoy it and its nutrition content makes me feel like I’m doing the right thing for my body. I drink chocolate almond breeze straight from the carton (I have to refrain myself from finishing it all off in one sitting), I steam the chocolate almond breeze for a healthy hot choc and make sure it always accompanies me when I’m enjoying one of my baked treats! Everything I bake with I substitute the milk for unsweetened almond breeze (sometimes the chocolate almond breeze to fulfill my chocolate cravings) and it exceeds the job! There’s an endless amount of recipes I have included almond breeze unsweetened almond milk into but my favourite is making pancakes for breakfast where I put a couple of table spoons of almond meal (I think I have an almond obsession), one scoop of protein, one egg, half a mashed banana and a good splash of almond milk until it is a batter consistency. Pan fry and enjoy with some Greek yoghurt, berries, peanut butter, honey… The list goes on! I also recently made a yummy clean yoghurt-banana-dark choc chip cake that I featured on my Instagram (tayboing) which was another day when baking I used almond breeze as a milk substitute. My choc almond breeze and a slice of my cake was a match made in heaven!! Anyway, almond breeze, you rock and keep doing what you’re doing 😉 xxx
Oh wow! I love almond milk! I have so many allergies and almond milk lets me enjoy ‘normal foods”!!!
My favourite thing to do is a Almond Milk -Vanilla Baked French Toast
Use slightly stale bread and cover the bottom of a dish with it. Whisk together 4 eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 3/4 cups almond milk, tsp vanilla & almond extracts, salt, and 4 tablespoons of sugar until eggs are broken up. Pour over bread and let soak, turning halfway through, until bread is thoroughly moistened and has absorbed most of the custard, at least 30 minutes
Then just bake at about 180 for about 20 minutes! You can sprinkle sugar and almonds on the top also to give it a nice crunch!
I made the switch from soy to almond milk well over a year ago and haven’t looked back. I’m a fan of Almond Breeze on fb and it’s the only almond milk I use! I make a morning smoothie with about 250 ml of almond milk, a handful of baby spinach, some organic frozen raspberries, a frozen banana’s and some Vital Protein powder in chocolate. It really energizes me, keeps me full and taste’s amazing!
My best idea for using almond milk is as a smoothie.
Here is a great recipe for a Pina Colada Smoothie
http://bakedbree.com/almond-breeze-breakfast-smoothies
My favourite way to enjoy Almond Breeze is in my piccolo lattes! I love how it transforms my coffee in to a nutty, creamy delight!
I also love drinking it all by itself! Yum :o)
My favourite is my new vegetarian breakfast. I use the almond milk in my scrambled eggs & filtered coffee.
My scrambled eggs recipe:
4 eggs
Free pour almond milk (possibly 3/4 cup)
4 chillis
Fresh basil
Half a handful of Slivered almonds & raw organic cacao nibs
Pinch of smoked paprika, salt & pepper
I whisk them all together & cook using raw organic coconut oil or butter
Put onto gluten free bread, with my smashed avocado mix, with lightly fried tomatoes, mushrooms & kale. Fresh rocket to garnish (love the peppery taste).
I’m so excited that finally there is an Aussie Supplier of unsweetened almond milk!! Hurray!
I love using it as a substitute for milk in cakes, custard & smoothies. Delish!
Thank you Almond Breeze for supplying Aussies with a fantastic product 🙂
I love using your unsweetened almond milk in my home made acai bowls! I blend a frozen acai pouch, banana and your delicious almond milk. I then add activated muesli, pepitas, berries and chia seeds! Absolutely delicious!
I love Almond Milk in my buckwheat pancakes.
It also goes in my coffee and my fav cafe now stocks it and serves it, perfect!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE almond milk – it is my milk of choice! Here is one of my all time favourite recipes for my Cocao Iced Chocolate:
1 cup of almond milk
2 tbsp cacao powder
1 tbsp cacao nibs
2 Medjool dates
1 tbsp ground flaxseed or LSA
1 tbsp maca powder
Scrapings of 1 vanilla pod (gives you that vanilla ice-cream flavour)
1/2 tray of ice cubes
Please pick me – I would love this pack! xxx
OMG – the best way to use Almond Milk is straight from the carton in tall glass with ice!!!
If you can be bothered even using a glass and just end up drinking from the carton ..!!
I only just discovered Almond Milk a few months ago and my Favourite recipe is:
Oats with Apple and Pecans:
Quick, Easy, delicious and keeps me going until Lunch!
1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup almond milk
1 cup water plus 1 tablespoons
1 cup quick-cooking oats
2 apples, cored and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave nectar (divided)
In a medium saucepan, combine the almond milk, water and oats. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Stir the apples and nuts into the cooked and rested oatmeal, sprinkle over cinnamon. Divide among four bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon maple syrup over each bowl and serve.
I like putting it with chia seeds, almonds and cranberries and leave it in the fridge until the seeds swell up to make a pudding type dessert.
I’m a busy mum of 3; so. I love the simple things in life. A little quiet time and a Breeze Almond milk Latte/ Nothing beats it! I feel re-energized and ready to take on the rest of the day.
My fav thing to do is use almond milk in my morning scrambled eggs! With some parsley, pink salt, kale and paprika it makes them so smooth, silky and creamy.. yummmmmm!! My other favourite thing to do is to make chai almond ice blocks by infusing almond milk with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and star anise and then mixing in some honey, pouring into some moulds with some crushed pistachios and pomegranate seeds and freezing. Then you have to most delicious and healthy dessert!!!!!!
I would love to win Lola’s book, I have been following her for a while now and her book keeps coming to the forefront of my mind. I would also love to try all those delicious looking Almond Breeze products!
My favourite use for Almond Breeze almond milk is to make the kids healthy blueberry buckwheat pancakes! Kids love them, they’re healthy & delicious. What a wonderful product. I supplement every kids recipe I have calling for cows milk, with almond milk.
