a Very Careful Experiment, part four
Today: amande cultured almond milk, blueberry flavor.
Details: one 6oz cup has 160 calories, 50 from fat; that's 6g of fat; 10mg sodium; 23g carbs, of which 2g is dietary fiber and 15g are sugars, and 3g of protein. Active cultures are not specified, but apparently there are six of them. Four Weight Watchers points, if you're interested in that sort of thing. Dairy free, soy free, gluten free.
Texture-wise, this reminds me immediately of traditional yogurt in that I peel back the top and find that the stuff in the carton has experienced a little separation, with a chunk of product and some liquid on top. It doesn't stir together too smoothly, but it does stir, so there's that. It's very purple in its pre-blendedness, but does also appear to have blueberries in it.
The carton notes that this item is fruit-juice sweetened, and boy howdy is it ever. This is the blueberriest of the lot, and given that it's the last non-dairy variety in the testing queue, I expect it to retain that ranking because I think the dairy yogurts - including the sheep and goat ones - will finally start to bring in some (probably quite a lot!) of the tartness I expect from my cultured milk and cultured "milk" products. This one doesn't have the strange aftertastes of the other ones, which is a plus, but it's very, very fruity, which ... could go either way. I expect I'd enjoy this and the coconut better in a vanilla flavor. The soy as well, mmmaybe. The rice I don't think I'd like at all.
Final grade: B+.
