Califia Farms Unsweetened Almond Milk in the 48 oz bottle is a convenient choice because the container is sturdy, easy to hold, and pours well compared to regular milk cartons, though it probably creates more packaging waste. I noticed this almond milk no longer has the inner foil seal inside the cap like it used to, and at first this made me hesitate, but I checked and learned that it's an intentional update from the company. Now, when you first open it, you'll hear a cracking sound from the plastic fasteners, which helps to confirm it's still sealed. This makes the process simpler and possibly less wasteful, but it could make people wonder if the product was tampered with. The taste is great and works well on its own, in cereal, protein shakes, or in smoothies. My daughter also drinks this brand but tends to prefer pea milk lately, so the almond milk makes a nice change from her usual. The ingredients include water, almonds, calcium carbonate, sunflower lecithin, sea salt, natural flavor, guar gum, gellan gum, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, and potassium citrate. Per serving, it has about 35 to 40 calories, zero sugar, 2.5 to 3g fat, 1g protein, and 140mg sodium. I like that it's plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, carrageenan-free, and has no added sugar. If you're looking for a dependable almond milk that's easy to store and pour, this is a solid choice, but be aware of the updated packaging if you're used to the old seal style.
