Organic Almond Beverage Unsweetened Vanilla

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

Trader Joe's Organic Almond Beverage Unsweetened Vanilla scores 56/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Trader Joe's Organic Almond Beverage Unsweetened Vanilla lists 12 ingredients, starting with Organic Almonds, Sea Salt, Tricalcium Phosphate, Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) and Dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin e). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 56/100 Trader Joe's Organic Almond Beverage Unsweetened Vanilla lands mid-scale — below the typical score in dairy-alternative milks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in dairy-alternative milks is Califia Farms Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk at 100/100.
