Turns out that
almond milk you’ve been diligently adding to your morning coffee instead of
full-fat, grass-fed, delicious cream actually contains almost no almonds. Like
me, you are probably pissed off because you thought you were being all healthy
and told yourself that, all the while thinking: “this stuff tastes like dirty
water,” but it’s OK because, it’s good for me.
Turns out you were
close to being correct about the dirty water because, Almond Breeze’s UK
website disclosed that each carton of their almond milk only contains two percent
of actual almonds costing unsuspecting consumers $3-$5 for 32 fluid ounces.
And, if you have
ever made it from scratch at home using 100 percent almonds—you know that it
takes way more than just that 2 percent amount of almonds to produce even a cup
of almond milk (there’s a recipe below if you do care to make your own and I
promise, you will never go back to the carton).
Well, you may have
your revenge for having to drink this swill as Almond Breeze is being sued for
false advertising. More specifically for “[deceiving] customers into thinking
that they’re buying a product made from almonds,” according to a report on the lawsuit by Time.
Almond Breeze responded in part by
saying: “The primary ingredient in nearly all popular beverages including
coffee, tea, soda, juice and sports drinks is water. Cow’s milk is 85% to 95%
water and the same can be said for most soy and almond milks which is why our
brand is not alone in responding to recent claims.” So… you might consider this
when buying any of these milk substitute beverages. And, why not learn to make
your own? It’s unbelievably simple!
