Can I use unsweetened chocolate almond milk in coffee or baking?
Absolutely. It can be used as a dairy-free substitute in coffee, smoothies, and baking recipes like muffins or cakes. Keep in mind that it is thinner than dairy milk and lacks sweetness, so you may need to adjust your recipe's liquid or sweetener levels.
What does unsweetened chocolate almond milk taste like?

Is it a good source of protein?
No, it is relatively low in protein, containing about 0.83g per 100g. While it offers other health benefits, those looking for a high-protein milk alternative may prefer soy or pea milk, or should pair this milk with other protein sources.
How should I store unsweetened chocolate almond milk and how long does it last?
If purchased in a shelf-stable carton, it can stay in the pantry until the expiration date. Once opened, or if purchased refrigerated, it must be kept in the fridge and is typically best consumed within 7 to 10 days.
Can I freeze unsweetened chocolate almond milk?
You can freeze it, but the texture will likely separate and become grainy once thawed. It is better to freeze it in ice cube trays for use in smoothies rather than freezing it to drink later as a liquid.
Is it suitable for individuals with diabetes?
Yes, it is an ideal choice for diabetics because it has a very low glycemic index. The lack of added sugars and low carbohydrate content help prevent blood sugar spikes compared to sweetened milk alternatives.
