What type of almond milk tastes most like milk?

Some of you might be wondering what almond milk tastes like. Especially if you want to have it in your boba or bubble tea too!

Over the years other types of milk and alternatives to dairy have started to trend more. You know, almond milk, oat milk, etc. as compared to cow’s milk.

Why is that so?

Part of the reason is that peoples’ diets have changed to dairy-free diets. And in general, people are more health-conscious and look for alternatives. If you’re vegan or lactose intolerant (like some of us at Talk Boba), trying different milk alternatives is exactly what you look for. Especially in coffee shops and boba shops.

Plus, these kinds of milk tend to have healthier benefits than most traditional dairy milk anyways. Who would’ve thought that anyone would ever start changing the types of milk we consume, crazy!

The Delicious Flavor of Almond Milk 

Generally, if you’ve never tried almond milk before you’ll probably think that it overwhelmingly tastes like almonds. We’re here to tell you that’s not all that true. In fact, it tastes a lot more like a sweet dairy’s milk or cereal milk than anything else!

Here’s a bit of a flavor break down for you.

If you try any unsweetened almond milk like this popular one here, you’ll come to realize that it tastes really good! Even though it’s not sweetened you have this underlying nutty flavor of almonds (not overbearing though). And a slight hint of creaminess.

Almond milk doesn’t contain as much fat as dairy milk. So the texture and consistency of any almond milk may be a bit more watery than normal cow’s milk. But its okay, trust us!

If you end up trying the sweetened almond milk in your grocery stores or boba cafes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how amazing it tastes. Since it has a sweeter milk taste, just like your morning cereal you’ll smile with every sip.

Common notes of flavors will also include cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, and honey. Of course, this highly depends on what type of sweetened almond milk you end up drinking.

These flavors don’t sound bad right?

Obviously almond milk can simply be used to drink by itself. But what are some exact uses of it besides drinking it by itself?

For one, anytime you go to your favorite boba cafe or bubble tea shop you can always ask for milk alternatives. And usually, your local bubble tea cafe will have almond milk in their supply.

If not then you’ll have to leave as quickly as possible! Who doesn’t have almond milk in their milk alternatives nowadays, that’s just weird!
Another use of almond milk can be for protein shakes! Nothing goes great with gains than almond milk added in your protein shake.

Other types of popular uses for almond milk are in smoothies, dressings, and even baked goods!

Alternatives to Almond Milk that’s Not Dairy Milk

If you’re not too fond of almonds, and therefore almond milk. How about trying some other milk alternatives that are not cow’s milk?

Some of the most known milk alternatives that you can sip on besides almond milk are oat milk, soy milk and coconut milk.

In any coffee or boba tea shop, you should be able to ask for any of these popular alternatives. Especially if it’s becoming more and more popular to be health-conscious.

We’re all for good health and delicious sips, right?
