BAMnut Plant Based Milk - Everyday

I found this on sale at Greenprice and thought I’d try it. It’s quite milky and goes well with cereal, although the calories are a bit on the high side.

Bamnut Everyday milk comes in a recyclable tetrapak. Its a fortified plant milk made from bambara nuts. Personally, loved the taste. So far, I've tried it at room temp. I think it tastes the way you might expect a chestnut milk to taste. The nut taste is complex and forward. The mouthfeel was fairly on the thicker end of the spectrum. There are three choices of bamnut milk, so there's an offering where the bamnut is a little more dilute and one formulated for barista purposes. Ingredients include: water, bambara groundnuts, coconut oil, calcium, vitamin D2 vitamin B12 I ordered online to try but I hope it ends up in a local store because I would buy again.

I'd had the airy version of this before, and honestly don't fully know where the difference is versus the everyday version. Truth be told the novelty factor is so high that I don't even understand why exactly a #bamnut is or does 😅 I sweetened this lightly (on top of the characteristic chocolate cereal for my #breakfastofchampions ☺️) and it proved a decent, pleasing way to #ditchdairy and still enjoy all the goodness of #mylk 🙂 Also pleasantly surprised to find that this is made in Malaysia (albeit under licence from a Singaporean company)

I had never seen this brand before in the US (or basically anywhere outside abillion promotions,) so of course I had to snap up a couple of shelf-stable cartons and test a handful of use-cases. First off, what WhatIf gets right: they’ve managed to achieve the thickness that I prefer with a simple slate of ingredients (and no gums!); the brownish milk is creamy, yet not overly rich, and it seems to play nicely with coffee. They’ve also hit on an extremely original — and purportedly restorative — formula through their use of Bambara groundnuts, #legumes which seems to have a lot of under-appreciated potential. It’s certainly something of an acquired taste, though. I’ve been drinking it for the past three days and am still at a loss for words to describe it: nutty, obviously, but there’s also a hint of something I can’t put my finger on — smoke? star anise? It’s not offensive, but also not something I’d choose to drink on its own, especially since it gets a bit gritty as it settles. Best practice is to mix it into things that can handle the earthy notes, like oatmeal. I mostly bought this for the novelty factor, but I think it’d be worth giving another chance if I were to encounter it again. If you have a Grocery Outlet nearby, you may be able to score this #ditchdairy innovation for just $0.99.

I really like the bamnut texture It’s grainy and thick
