Notes
Nutritional information will vary depending on the almond milk you use and how large is a serving.
For best results: Thawed almond milk is best in baking recipes or where texture doesn't matter. The fat and water will separate in milk when frozen and it's hard to recombine after thawing.
Note: sometimes the seams of milk containers will split during freezing. Be sure to thaw the container in a bowl or rimmed tray just in case, to catch drips and keep your fridge clean.
