Anyone try this in their coffee? Its shelf stable so I thought it would be great to take on a trip--the unsweetened kind has 2 carbs per 8 oz and in coffee I am not going to put in much more than a splash. I use HWC now but its a total calorie bomb so I thought Id see what you all thought. Have yet to try it myself. Thanks!
i use it with hwc...i have always preferred the almond milk over soy, and even regular milk...coconut milk and almond milk are great additions to hwc in coffee...and whatever else you can think of .
In addition to the fact that it is supposed to be refrigerated once opened, "just a splash" probably won't do. I usually use 1 Tbsp HWC in my coffee, and I need a good 1/4 - 1/3 cup of Almond Breeze to make the coffee remotely creamy.
...other than that, I do like it. I like the unsweetened vanilla.
I second Kristine...you need a lot more than you would use of hwc to make your coffee creamy. And I find the heat of the coffee makes the almond flavour REALLY powerful. Something to keep in mind if almond is not one of your favorite flavours. I switched to coconut cream for my coffee and prefer it, however, I do love the unsweetened chocolate almond breeze cold..mmm sooo good.
So after talking about it in this thread, I do something I never do. I had a second cup of espresso about an hour ago--with 2 TBS h&h and 4 oz of choc almond breeze. I must like almond because I didn't find it overpowering at all, very creamy with good mouth-feel. Now I'll probably be up half the night. If I am, I'm blaming you guys!

I heat up the unsweetened chocolate AB and then add a scoop of my protein powder (allmax isoflex chocolate peanut butter) and stir. It is like the best cocoa ever!

The protein powder doesn't get all clumpy/stringy/weird when you do this? I seem to recall this problem happening to me when I put protein powder in some liquid that was on the stove top...
Do you steam the almond milk for a latte? I am using hwc atm.. but would love to give the almond milk a try.. just wondering if it does find for steaming.
