    • Can You Freeze Almond Milk

    What is almond milk?

    Almond milk is plant-based milk with a creamy texture and a nutty flavor made usually with almond seed, sweetener, and water. Almonds have a lot of health benefits and are filled with healthy values like antioxidants, vitamin E, magnesium, etc.

    Making homemade almond milk is super easy. All you will need is almonds, water, and some flavoring if you'd like them like vanilla extract, and any type of sweeteners.

    Almond health benefits

    Almonds contain many healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals including vitamin E, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats that help to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. Almond butter also contains calcium, which helps with bone health, good appetite control, and is good for your skin.

    Why you should freeze almond milk

    Most almond milk products that you can find at the stores, will stay fresh for about 7-10 days.

    Uses for frozen almond milk

    Frozen almond milk is great in many cases. Our favorite way to use frozen almond milk is to throw it in smoothies, to add it to stews like curry, or sauces. When you cook frozen almond milk, the texture changes are barely noticeable.

    Because after thawing frozen almond milk, the texture is a bit different, We like adding it to smoothies or drinks so it is less noticeable.

    Freezing methods

    There are a few popular and useful ways to freeze almond milk. Here are our favorites

    Freeze almond milk in a cube tray:

    Step 1: Take an ice cube tray and pour the almond milk into the ice cube trays, not filling it all the way through, about ¾ full.

    Step 2: Place the ice cube trays in the freezer. Almond milk takes a few hours to freeze completely. We usually keep it in the freezer overnight to prevent a mess.

    Step 3: Remove the ice cube trays from the freezer and release the almond milk cubes from the ice cube trays.

    Step 4: Transfer the almond milk ice cubes to a freezer-friendly ziplock bag or an airtight freezer-friendly container. Squeeze out as much air as you can to save space in the fridge.

    Step 5: Label the ziplock bag or the container if needed and freeze for up to 2 months.

    Freeze almond milk in a container

    Freezing almond milk in a container is the easiest and fastest way to freeze almond milk.

    Step 1: Prepare an airtight freezer-friendly container and pour the almond milk into the container, filling it not all the way through. Almond milk contains mostly water, and water expands in the freezer, so you will need to leave some space in the container.

    Step 2: Close the container tightly and make sure that it is well sealed. Only an airtight container will work for this. It prevents the almond milk from absorbing odors from surrounding foods which can lead to the milk spoiling faster.

    Step 3: Label the container if needed (with the title almond milk and the quantity) and place the container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

    How to thaw almond milk

    These are a few ways to thaw almond milk:

    In the fridge

    Almond milk can be thawed in the fridge by placing it in the fridge overnight.

    In lukewarm water

    The second way to thaw almond milk is to pour some lukewarm water into a bowl and place the frozen almond milk (in a container or a ziplock bag) to speed out the thawing process. This can take 2-3 hours to thaw.

    Notice that you don't use hot water or warm water. Only lukewarm water will work for this.

    On stovetop

    The third way to defrost almond milk is also the fastest way, is to release the almond milk from the container or from the ice cube trays, and warm it up in a small saucepan oven with medium heat.

    Some people like this method the best because you can also thicken the almond milk and make it more creamy by cooking it for longer.

    Expert tip:

    After you defrost the almond milk, make sure that you give it a quick blend in a blender or in a food processor to fix its texture.

    How to fix separated thawed almond milk?

    To fix separated thawed almond milk you will need to simply blend the almond milk in a blender for about 30 seconds until the texture of the milk is fixed. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor as well.

    How long will the thawed almond milk last?

    After you thaw your almond milk, it will last fresh for about 3-5 days. Fresh almond milk will stay fresh for 7-10 days, so if you freeze almond milk, make sure that the expiration date is near.

    What changes almond milk goes through while freezing?

    Almond milk will change its texture when freezing, but this issue can be fixed very easily by blending it in a food processor or in a blender for about 30 seconds. This happens because the water and almond separate when the milk is sitting for a while.

    When to freeze almond milk?

    We suggest freezing almond milk before it goes bad. If you have almond milk in the fridge for a few days, and you probably won't use it in the next few days, we suggest freezing it then.
