Frequently asked questions
Product Questions:
NotMilk is made from all natural ingredients that you pronounce. We never use any additives, emulsifiers or refined sugars in our products. In fact most of our products contain no added sugar at all.
NotMilk was designed by two former milk lovers. It mimics that taste and texture of the dairy milk we used to love without the lactose and without the use of additives and stabilizers.
We never use any artificial sweeteners or refined sugars in our products. We do lightly sweeten our product with fresh dates to mimic the light sweetness of dairy milk.
NotMilk has not been formally evaluated for nutritional content (that is coming soon!)
You bet! NotMilk is made from nuts, seeds, grains, and water and is totally and 100% vegan.
Yes. We do not use soy or gluten in our product.
The quick answer - We make it fresh and we use more nuts!
To go into a little more detail: Making almond milk the right way is expensive. Maintaining a raw, perishable product, paying a premium to source only pesticide-free nuts and using advanced cold-pressing technology is the only way we believe it should be done. Unlike a lot of cheaper almond milk, our product is cold-pressed and bottled in glass. Moreover, the percentage of nuts in most other brands is significantly lower than ours. That means more flavour enhancers, preservatives and additives, and less of the real, natural goodness which comes from the nuts themselves. 12% – This may not seem like a lot, however most almond milks contain a mere 2-4% almonds and use oils, sugar and other additives to improve the flavour and texture!
At NotMilk we are committed to making fresh products because we believe that fresh tastes best and is better for you! For this reason we do not pasteurise our product or add any chemicals or preservatives to extend shelf life.
NotMilk is fresh, which means it hasn’t undergone the harmful process of pasteurisation that involves heating and consequently destroying many of the important vitamins and minerals present in the raw, unadulterated product. And besides, just like the taste of fresh orange juice versus the boxed stuff at the store - the fresh taste just tastes better!
This is just the denser nut layer separating from the water. This separation is due to the purity of the product – there are no chemicals or artificial ingredients added to stop this from happening. All you need to do is give the milk a quick shake, and voila! It is good to go!
Yes, it is a fresh product with no preservatives or additives. It should be stored between 33 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal shelf life.
We have a bottle return program. You can return clean and empty NotMilk bottles for credit on your next order.
NotMilk is made in NYC
You can (we’ve tried it at home) but we cannot guarantee the shelf life if you do this. Make sure to leave some room in the bottle since NotMilk expands when frozen.
