New Almond Fresh Coconut - Delicious and Refreshing
Saturday, August 11, 2012
Here we are, smack dab in the middle of summer. Ah, yes! Summer! By simple association, the season evokes images of sunny days, blue skies and sandy beaches. Granted I do not live in the tropics, I will, however further add palm trees, fruity drinks, and dare I say... cabana boys? As I shake myself back to reality, I call upon fond memories of my travels to the Caribbean. Among the endless nights of Latin dancing and jumbo shrimp, I also recall the distinct flavour of coconut water from a freshly picked coconut. This, my friends, is the latest and tastiest essence of Earth's Own Almond Fresh - Coconut.
Almond Fresh Anywhere
There are so many ways to enjoy the delicious taste of Almond Fresh. Mix it in a smoothie, add it to your cereal, or even bake with it. From pancakes and waffles, to pudding and trifle, Almond-Fresh.com has a myriad of recipes to try. And now you have five flavours to experiment with: Vanilla, Original, Unsweetened, Chocolate and the new Almond Fresh Coconut. In addition, Almond Fresh has also launched two new product formats: a shelf stable 946ml and a single serve size they call "Almond on the go." It's the perfect size to fit in your lunchbox or to take with you as you head out to the gym, hiking, skiing - virtually anywhere!
Refreshing and Nutritious
Not only is Almond Fresh low in calories, one serving provides 45% of your daily recommended dose of vitamin D and 50% of vitamin B12. It does not contain lactose or casein and is wheat and gluten free. And I was also happy to learn that their cartons do not contain BPA.
While my husband loves having cereal with Almond Fresh Coconut, my kids are not so keen on it. They much prefer a glass of the chocolate variety. Hmm, I wonder why. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that, like their mother, they absolutely love anything chocolate. My sister-in-law, however, thoroughly enjoys the original and unsweetened varieties. She was drinking Almond Fresh long before I had even heard about it so I knew it was something I had to try out for myself.
While on the hunt for the new Almond Fresh Coconut, I was delighted to find them on sale at Metro for $3.99. Plus, you could get two bonus Air Miles with every purchase, though it expired a little over a week ago. I went to a number of stores that carry Almond Fresh such as Sobey's but I have yet to come across it in their single serve. Other stores include IGA Superstore, Whole Foods Market, Highland Farms, Loblaws, and Zehrs, just to name a few.

I had recently got a chance to try Almon Fresh due to a diet change (couldn't drink milk for a while). I must say it is refreshing I love the 'plain' one and Vanilla. It's usually sold out when I crave it. I have yet to try to Coconut one, I haven't seen it at my local Nofrills or WalmartM
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen No Frills or Walmart listed as one of the stores where it is available. You can view the full list of where it is available on almond-fresh.com .
DeleteI would love to try the Strawberry one and the Coconut one! I love Almond Fresh because it's so tasty and good for you!
ReplyDeletedefinitely the coconut

I just recently switched to almond milk. Tried Silk first and now I am on Almond Fresh. I use it in my cereal each morning. Surprisingly, my kids and husband like it too! I'd like to try the coconut flavour or unsweetened...can't find either here.

I know what you mean. It's not always easy to find but there are five grocery stores all within the vicinity of where I live. So if I happen to be at a different store, I'll be sure to be on a lookout. I don't like to drive to a store just to find a single item.
DeleteI'd love to try coconut because I love the taste of coconut!
ReplyDeleteI tried the almond fresh vanilla few days ago. It was good! Would love to try the other flavours.
ReplyDeleteI like that Almond Fresh is a soy alternative - I love the taste too!
ReplyDeleteI've tried both the vanilla and the chocolate - much prefer the chocolate.

I'd like to try the chocolate or coconut flavors. I would like to try it in my coffee as I cannot have most coffee sweeteners due to a soy allergy. :)

I would like to try the chocolate one. Chocolate and nuts do go well together. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy son recently developed an allergy to milk, and milk products, so I have been trying different products. Since he absolutely loves chocolate, the chocolate Almond Fresh might be perfect! The almond Fresh Coconut is new to me, will have to give it a try as I love anything with coconut in it!
ReplyDeleteSorry to learn of your son's recent allergy discovery. We love milk and dairy products in our home so I can only imagine how difficult it would be to eliminate it from our diet. The good news is that there are many alternatives such as Almond Fresh and for many of them, my children don't notice the difference. Hope you find something your son will enjoy!
DeleteI tried almond milk for the first time a few months ago I was very skeptical that I'd like it but I absolutely loved it
ReplyDeleteBeen off of dairy (along with my wife) and this is a good alternative for our coffees!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the chocolate one I love chocolate and coconuts!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this brand yet but I'd like to try vanilla because I usually like that flavor best.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the best coconut beverage on the market!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Almond Fresh Chocolate since I'm a huge chocolate lover and am finding that as I get older I'm less able to tolerate regular milk.
ReplyDeleteNicole
I haven't tried any yet... but the chocolate sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try it because I love almonds :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to try chocolate because chocolate sounds like it would taste yummy.
