Almond milk has become a go-to choice for those seeking a creamy alternative to dairy that adds a little something different with it's nutty taste. But did you know that this dairy-free delight isn’t a trendy newcomer? It has a rich history that spans centuries.

 

With the rise of food movements like veganism, almond milk has experienced a renaissance, showcasing its delicious, nutty essence. At Rude Health, we’re thrilled to celebrate this beloved beverage with not one, but four irresistible Almond Drinks. 

 

How versatile is almond milk?

You can use it as a delightful substitute for cow’s milk in countless dishes—from splashing it over your favorite cereal to blending it into luscious smoothies. It’s a match made in heaven for coffee lovers and a game-changer in baking.

 

What Does Almond Milk Taste Like?

Whether you like things nutty or sweet, there's an almond milk for you.

 

Whether you crave a nutty twist or a hint of sweetness, we’ve got you covered! Our Organic Almond Drink is smooth and subtly sweet—perfect for enhancing your morning smoothie or breakfast bowl. After years of testing, we’ve perfected the almond-to-rice ratio, ensuring a deliciously nutty flavor without overwhelming marzipan notes.

 

If you’re seeking pure simplicity, our Ultimate Almond features just water and 5% almonds, delivering an intense nutty flavor and creamy texture with a lighter mouthfeel than a glass of dairy milk.

 

Is Almond Milk Healthy?

At Rude Health, we prefer not to label food and drinks as “healthy” or “unhealthy”, “good” or “bad”. Almond milk is a delicious alternative to milk, for anyone who can’t drink milk for allergy or lifestyle reasons, simply doesn’t enjoy dairy, or would like a little more variety in their life.

 

Curious about nutrition? Our Organic Almond Drink has just 56 kcal per 100ml, while the Ultimate Almond offers a light 38 kcal per 100ml. Always check the packaging for the most accurate information!

 

Can I Cook With Almond Milk?

Absolutely, you can cook with almond milk! Its versatility allows you to seamlessly incorporate it into your favorite recipes. Start your dairy-free journey by pairing our Almond Drinks with our delicious granola range for a heavenly breakfast bowl. Feeling adventurous? Try your hand at  sticky cardamom buns inspired by Mob Kitchen!

Almond milk is also great in hot drinks, giving them an extra nutty flavour. For hot drinks like coffee, opt for our Barista Almond Drink. Our Barista range has been designed specifically with this in mind; we’ve added oats for a creamy texture and a drop of Sunflower Lecithin for the ultimate marriage. 


Is Almond Milk Sustainable?

When it comes to sustainability, not all almonds are equal.

These little nuts can be water-intensive, so the demand for almond milk has highlighted the the importance of responsible farming. At Rude Health, we’re committed to sourcing our almonds from passionate, organic farmers in Sicily.

Almonds are an extremely important part of the Sicilian culinary culture. To this day Sicilian almonds – and in particular the ‘pizzuta’ variety (‘the pointy one’) – are considered to be amongst the best in the world. We have to agree.

The combination of Sicily’s abundant sunshine and the farmers’ dedication results in almonds with exceptional flavor. Yes, we might pay a bit more for our top-quality ingredients, but we believe the taste is worth it.

 

Rude Health’s Almond Drink Range

We have 4 different Almond Drinks to ensure there's a little something for everyone, because theres always room for more at our table:  

Almond Drink: Our best seller. This drink has a unique blend of 1% almonds for flavour, and rice for sweetness and a silky texture.  

Ultimate Almond: For the pure at heart. It’s got water, 5% almonds and nothing else. We love its rich, nutty intensity and think it is delicious in smoothies. 

Barista Almond: An almond and oat blend created for coffee, it can take the heat, and the acidity of the beans, without splitting. That’s thanks to the organic sunflower lecithin.

No Sugars Almond:  A clean, subtly nutty flavor that stays smooth and creamy, thanks to organic Italian almonds and carob seed flour.

Roasted Almond & Oat: Roasty, toasty, creamy. First we roast our organic almonds for depth of flavour. Then we blend them with organic oats for creaminess.
