Almond Breeze is being sued for having almost no almonds in their almond milk!!!

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!

Ok. The moment you all have been waiting for! The recipe for real almond milk. Here goes!

Homemade Almond Milk
Ingredients:

1 cup soaked and peeled Almonds
4 cups Filtered Water
Instructions
Put your almonds in the blender, I use a vitamixer it is a go to appliance in the kitchen (if you don't have a vitamixer soak them in filtered water for a couple of hours and mash it into a paste) pour water in blender and mix on high speed until smooth. Strain the mixture through either cheese cloth or another fine fiber making sure to squeeze all the milk out of the paste. You can even add a little organic vanilla extract to spice it up a little. There you have it almond milk.
