Alpro Almond Original: Alpro's lightly sweetened, nutty almond drink in a 1-litre carton, dairy-free and plant-based.
This is Alpro's original almond drink, the slightly sweetened recipe with a mild, nutty flavour, in a 1-litre carton. Alpro, founded in Belgium in 1980 and part of Danone since 2017, says it gently roasts its almonds before turning them into this drink, and describes Alpro Almond as vegan friendly. The pack gives the full ingredient list and any added vitamins and calcium for the market of production. Compared with the No Sugars version, the original is a little sweeter, which suits drinking on its own, cereal and breakfast bowls. In general, almond drinks swap directly for cow's milk in most everyday uses, from overnight oats to pancakes, though they are thinner and lower in protein, so custards and sauces may need extra thickening. They are a common option on café menus for guests who avoid dairy. Keep unopened cartons at room temperature, then refrigerate once opened and finish within the period on the label. Separation in the carton is normal, so shake first.
