Finding Whole30 approved Almond Milk Brands can be super tough for a few reasons. You have to find one with NO sweeteners. It also can’t have any carrageenan… those two ingredients are in the bulk of most almond milk brands.
What is the official rule when it comes to Whole30 Approved Almond Milk?
Tip: Nuts and seeds aren’t your best fat choice, in general, and drinking your food is always less healthy than eating it. So when it comes to almond milk, even if you make your own… we’d rather you just eat the almonds once in awhile!
Update to the Whole30 program rules:
In December of 2019, there was a change to the Whole30 program rules! Now all extracts are approved for your Whole30! Naturally, some vanilla almond milks contain vanilla extract, and until this point, weren’t approved for your Whole30. Now they are! So this “Whole30 Approved Almond Milk Brands” has been updated accordingly!
Let’s also knock out some of the commonly asked questions I get about Whole30 Almond Milk before we dive in!
Can you use almond milk on Whole30?
Yes, you can! Dairy is ruled out for your Whole30, but you absolutely CAN use nut-based milks if the ingredients are compliant. See the list below for which brands are Whole30 approved. Also, check here for a list of Whole30 Approved Coconut milk brands as well!
Then, I also gets tons of questions regarding carrageenan in almond milk, which is understandable because it’s a pretty questionable ingredient!
What is carrageenan?
Carrageenan is a substance extracted from red and purple seaweeds, Chondrus crispus, which is more widely known as Irish moss. It consists of a mixture of polysaccharides. It is used as a thickening or emulsifying agent in food products.
Is Carrageenan bad for you/ toxic?
The short answer, yes. It is at the very least a known inflammatory, and we know that inflammation is the building block of disease. It has been linked to ulcerations, and GI cancers, and other stomach problems. So it’s likely a carcinogen as well. Carrageenan is concerning because it’s still FDA approved and is even allowed in certified Organic foods!!
From Dr. Weil:
“Some animal studies have linked degraded forms of carrageenan (the type not used in food) to ulcerations and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. More worrisome, undegraded carrageenan – the type that is widely used in foods – has been associated with malignancies and other stomach problems.”
Is Carrageenan in all almond milk?
Good news: NO. Companies are catching on that this is an ingredient that consumers DON’T want in their products. Even in the last couple of years, companies are removing carrageenan from their almond milks. The list of Whole30 Compliant Almond Milk Brands below are all carrageenan-free!
Is Almond Milk Cancerous?
This thought came around because of the carrageenan in a lot of almond milks… There are SO many clean, non-toxic and carrageenan-free almond milks that are NOT cancerous, and even beneficial for your health! Check out my complete list below.
Does Almond Milk contain hormones?
Nope! Not at all. Hormones are messengers in our bodies that spur our bodies into action. Hormones are found in cow’s milk (and human breast milk) and act as a way to communicate with newborn calves and babies to grow up and get fat! These hormones in milk are part of the reason it’s not ideal for our health. Almond milk is a great choice for many reasons, one being it does not contain potentially-harmful hormones.
Which brand of almond milk is best?
It’s hard to choose ONE brand to call the very best. But you can look at the list below for a start! I’d recommend finding almond milks like the ones below with as few extra ingredients as possible! Try to find an almond milk without carrageenan, sugars or sweeteners, Corn Starch, Rice Starch, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Soy Lecithin (Sunflower Lecithin is ok!) or Sulfites (sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite).

Is your almond milk not listed? No problem!
Here is a list of unapproved ingredients… If you see one of these ingredients, the almond milk is not approved for your Whole30. When searching for Whole30 Approved Almond Milk brands, people ask me all the time: What ingredients to avoid in Almond Milk? Here’s a list of ingredients to avoid:

- Sulfites (sulfur dioxide, sodium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite)
And there’s this super handy PDF that the Whole30 program has that tells you all of the approved additives!
Have you found an almond milk that’s not on my list? Please share below in the comments and I’ll happily add it!
This is amazing! I wish I had this when I went to Costco today. They had the So Delicious brand. But by the time I got to it, I was feeling so overwhelmed and couldn’t figure out if it was OK. Back tomorrow. (I’ve done a Whole30 before but I’m out of practice.)

Thank you for this list! How about almond breeze vanilla unsweetened almond milk? Is that whole 30 approved?
Hey Ki! I just added Almond Breeze products to my list, thank you!! The 32 oz variety had carrageenan, so I thought they all did… upon further investigation, it’s just that one size that has it… bizarre! As far as the vanilla flavor, I added this insight “The unsweetened Vanilla variety is questionably approved… it contains “natural flavors” which should probably be interpreted as vanilla, which contains alcohol and is unapproved for your Whole30. This is admittedly a super gray area, so use your best judgment!” thanks!!

I have a box of Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original and it does NOT have carrageenan in it. Wondering if some of the other things are not approved (Gellan Gum?)
I’m so glad to see that the list has expanded since my first Whole 30. We just finished a second round and I absolutely LOVE the Nutpods.

Hey Nek! Thanks for asking! If the ingredients I found online (at a separate, non-Costco site) are correct, it looks like it is indeed approved! Be careful as some of those gums can disturb some people’s gut. Totally a personal choice! Thanks again- I’ve added it to my list.

I added the Califia Toasted Coconut to my whole30 after reading this article. After drinking the entire bottle I looked more closely and started googling the ingredients. It looks as though it might not be compliant because of a couple ingredients. Can you please confirm? thx!

Hey Jen! Thank you so much for your diligence- you are SO right… looks like Monk Fruit Extract is a no go. I’ve never seen a fruit extract that was unapproved- this is a first! I would say it’s enough of a gray area that I wouldn’t recommend starting over (I don’t think you’re drinking almond milk for the sweet kick!), BUT I have removed it from my list. I appreciate your input so much! Thanks!

What about Great Value unsweetened vanilla almondmilk?
Hey Latrell! Thanks for asking! I just checked their website, and it looks like their almond milk contains carrageenan, which is a no no for your Whole30. I hope you can find one of these other brands to use!

I have a container of GV unsweetened vanilla almondmilk and unless I am missing it there is no carrageenan listed. I looked twice. Does it have another name?
Is this the almond milk you’re getting? They could have changed the formula to keep up with other brands and consumers’ desires- that would be great! Their website may just still have their old formula! Let me know if your ingredients are different than these listed and I’ll update my list! Thank you!

Why do you choose not to shop at Walmart?
Unfortunately, lots of people pay the price for their low prices :/ They bully companies to lower their prices and their profits… this documentary is really telling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXmnBbUjsPs

I appreciate this post so much! But I agree with Jules, why not shop at Walmart but support Amazon? I find this to be a common theme in pretentious America. If you think Walmart is the only bully, you should look into Amazon’s practices, but you might not want to because they sponsor you. I love your blog, but I disagree to knock down one company and support another that is no better.

Hey Stephanie! Thank you!! I watched a documentary WAY back in the day about Walmart’s practices, and haven’t shopped there since. The main arguments are they bully the brands they sell to sell WAY too cheap. They threaten to pull them from all Walmarts if they don’t comply. Managers are taught to tell workers to clock out and continue working to save money, which is illegal. They pay workers so little and tell them about goverment benefits rather than providing their own. The list goes on.
I haven’t, however, heard similar negative things about Amazon. I will happily read the article you sent. Amazon doesn’t sponsor this blog, I’m just a member of their affiliate program. Thanks!

I’m interested in the brand Califia, the coconut and almond milk…
Unfortunately it contains Monk Fruit Extract, which is a natural sweetener, so the Whole30 has ruled it out! Califia farms does have other approved versions, though! Thanks for checking!

The Califia farms has a hazelnut almond creamer. Is that ok? It has added sugar so I assume it is a no?
I wish, right?? It’s SO delicious! But unfortunately you’re right- it’s unapproved because of the added sweetener! Thanks for asking!

Ok, so monk fruit is a no-go according to you, but “natural flavors” (which is BTW just a cute name for a neurotoxin MSG) is perfectly ok with you. Oh dear God… The world has officially gone insane! :O

Hey Kim! No, A2 Milk is not Whole30 Compliant. No dairy is allowed for the 30 days of the program. Thanks for asking!
Hello, I breezed through the comments but I wanted to add that Member’s Mark (Sam’s Club brand) Organic UnSweetened Vanilla Almond Milk is compliant.

Thank you!
Is Wholesome Pantry Vanilla unsweetened almond milk good to drink? It’s from Shoprite.
Thanks
I just found the ingredients online and looks like it is! Thanks for letting me know- I will add it now! 🙂 It definitely has lots of gums and added ingredients (which are compliant), but I’d suggest trying to find a simpler Whole30 Approved Almond Milk if you can!
I know the health benefits of the milk and milk products and that’s why I have my own juicing business. Malt Drink is one of the few milk and milk products rich in milk proteins. It combines nourishing value of both malt and milk, making it a power drink. It’s a passion to express myself and to make humans healthy.
