Safer Solutions

At this time, the best policy is to educate yourself and exercise caution when buying almond milk, or other items, that frequently contain carrageenan. If you have a carton that lists it in the ingredients, you don’t need to panic or throw it out. Just carefully read labels and try to avoid brands that make use of it in the future.

A safer alternative for almond milk enthusiasts is to simply make your own. It’s much easier than you might think.

You’ll need:

  • 1 cup of raw almonds (soaked for minimum 5 hours, preferably overnight)
  • 5 cups of water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (optional)

    So if Carrageenan comes from seaweed, does that make consuming seaweed bad for your health?
