Plant-Based Milk Alternative
I recieved a coupon for a plant-based milk alternative and I must say I was a bit hesitant at first to try it. But my hesitation was short lived after I tried NOT MILK!
I have never tried a plant based milk alternative so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised at the great taste of NOT MILK! It’s thick and creamy with a unique taste with a hint of pineapple!
I was trying to figure out what I was tasting, it has pineapple juice and sunflower oil. So my granddaughter Alexandra and I decided it’s sort of a fruity/almond taste because of the sunflower. Either way I love it!
For starters I had a glass of NotMilk Whole with a few cookies. One word.. delicious! This plant-based milk alternative is healthy, has less calories, low on sugar and no cholesterol. It’s non GMO, gluten, soy and lactose free. I am so impressed with the ingredients used and the taste of the made from plants milk alternative.

NOT MILK Strawberry Smoothie
Of course I had to try a smoothie using NOT MILK also! I used 8 fresh/frozen strawberries and chopped them in the blender. Then I added 1/2 cup of NOT MILK plus a handful of organic coconut.
I blended all the ingredients together and poured my smoothie in a glass.
I was ready to try my smoothie when Alexandra came up with a topping of white chocolate chips and strawberry bits! She sprinkled them on top of my NOT MILK strawberry smoothie! The smoothie was creamy and so yummy.
NOT MILK plant-based milk alternative was very good and so was my smoothie! Lia and I plan to use this in a few other recipes that call for milk and we’ll share with our neighbors and get their approval of her baked goods with NOT MILK.
hmmmm….i’ll have to look for this. I tried unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I am not a fan. but i need milk for my cereal in the morning. Thanks for the review!
I was quite impressesd with this Terry. While it has a different taste than whole milk it wasn’t “yucky” or tasteless like the almond or coconut milks. Hope you like it!
Good suggestions, Martha! I use almond milk but haven’t heard of Not Milk. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
This brand as a hint of almond, at least for Alex and me Victoria. I’m going to use in an omelette and try that!
Thanks for sharing this alternative to milk. I stopped using cow’s milk many years ago because I became lactose intolerant. Instead, I make my own almond or other nut “milk” in my Vitamix blender. That way, I stay away from all the additives and know exactly what is it in. I use water, almonds, pure vanilla extract, sweetener (honey or maple syrup) and a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor. It’s delicious!
That sounds so good Florence! Lia will be home Sunday from a week with her grandparents and I’m sure she will come up with ideas to use NOT MILK for.
Wow, sounds great! People require non-dairy products for various reasons.
The smoothies looks delicious!
What about the price? Oftentimes vegan alternatives are substantially more expensive.
The smoothie was delicious Tamara as for the price the half gallon was $3.99 a bit more than milk.
I have not yet heard about this one — we have been using Silk Almond milk for years. Not sure if I would like the hint of pineapple, but for a smoothie I bet it’s great!
I’m not sure if it’s a hit of pineapple or I was thinking that because I read the ingredients. My granddaughter tasted a more nutty flavor like the almond. Thanks for stopping by Angie.
It sounds like it would be great for making smoothies. I may have to try it. In the summer my diet is mostly smoothies.
It tasted great in my smoothie Brenda. Give it a try if you find it!
Now, I am not trying to burst your bubble, but it you look carefully at the label it is marked OUD (actually the U is in a circle). [This is found right below the gluten free notice on the side of the carton.] It could mean the product is produced on dairy equipment- or that there is a finite amount of dairy in the product.
Well that’s good to know Roy. I don’t have any of the dietary needs but it was a product I received to try. I’ll have to look into that more. Thanks!
I’ve been seeing commercials for the plant-based eggs but I didn’t realize they had milk too. I’m lactose intolerant so i will have to give it a try. Thanks for the info!
I’m new at trying plant based foods but it wasn’t bad Mia.
This is my first time trying plant based foods and the smoothie was delicious Kebba! Let me know how you like it if you find some.
This is a great post. My former doctor and therapist thought that I had a milk allergy. I will look into trying one of these.
I’ve tried plant based milk alternatives but this one is the best to me Amanda.
