Trader Joe's Almond, Cashew, & Macadamia Nut Beverage Review

I so badly want to call this Almond, Cashew, and Macadamia Nut MILK. I know, I know...you can't milk an almond...and Trader Joe's does correctly refer to it as a "beverage." So, our review today is of Trader Joe's Almond, Cashew, & Macadamia Nut Beverage.

You won't find this in the refrigerated section. It's over on the aisles near the bottled juices. A 32-ounce (1-quart) container costs $2.29.

This nut beverage is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, lactose-free, and vegan. The package copy describes it as a "...smooth and creamy non-dairy beverage."

Trader Joe's Almond, Cashew, & Macadamia Nut Beverage Review

She says (Bridget): I'm all about a nut beverage - almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, cashew milk, and any combination of the varieties available. This one is one of my favorites. For a nut beverage, it is fairly creamy. (Not as creamy as whole cow's milk.) Trader Joe's Almond, Cashew, Macadamia Nut Beverage tastes great - lightly nutty and slightly sweet. I love, love, love this with cereal and smoothies. I'm looking forward to trying it in some recipes that call for nut milk.

He says (Mark): This is a daily-use item for me. I use it in smoothies 5-6 days a week and add a splash to my espresso every day.  I don’t drink nut milk or milk in general by itself, so I have no flavor profile to compare the taste. It’s bland by design, given that it’s unsweetened, so I only use it in combination with some added date syrup in the aforementioned smoothies or espressos. As an added bonus, before it’s opened, the shelf life is fantastic. Great for keeping a few containers on hand.

Overall rating: 4 of 5 stars

Would I buy it again? Yes, we buy at least one container at every TJ's run!

Trader Joe's Almond, Cashew, & Macadamia Nut Beverage: If you're in the market for nut milk/beverage, this is a good one!
