I was going to freeze the almond milk into ice cube trays so I didn't have to use water in the recipe, but the label said not to freeze the almond milk. Hmmm, that does not sound appetizing when I word it as such, but trust me, it was great! And the almond milk gave it a great consistency without giving me that dairy feeling. That is enough for me 🙂 I thought it was awesome! In a way I felt like I was having oatmeal for breakfast, but in liquid form. As always, I will say: sweeten accordingly to your tastes! Next time I am going to skip the vanilla completely and leave it purely unsweetened as I like the tartness to fruits anyway.

However, once added to the smoothie, the vanilla almond milk worked nicely. My daughter liked it with the touch of vanilla so we must have different tastes. It was okay for me, but I think it would have tasted better warmed up with the vanilla extract. It tasted really good on its own (and I will admit I was a little weary with the fact that it was unsweetened, but it really worked.) Before I put the almond milk into the blender, I added some vanilla extract to it. I realized I was using Almond Breeze's unsweetened, original almond milk and wanted to add some elements to it. I tasted as I went and adjusted accordingly. I mean, how hard can a smoothie be? Well, you can throw in some things that do not work, let me tell you. I was seriously impressed, I just started throwing things into the blender and hoping for the best.
