THE POWER OF TWO

Elmhurst's unsweetened line is the simplest form of plant milk. Our almond, walnut, cashew, and hazelnut options have two ingredients each: nuts and water. Leaving out the extras allows the ingredients you need to show their full virtue – both of flavor and nutrition – in a variety of uses, from coffee to cereal to cooking.

UNSWEETENED VS ORIGINAL

Elmhurst original and unsweetened nut and grain milks are built upon the same simpler, better platform: more source nutrition (up to 4x the nuts) with a clean label, free of needless additives like gums and oils. The unsweetened line is just a little simpler, bringing 5-6 ingredients down to 2-3. Added sugars, natural flavors, and (with the exception of oat) salt are left out to give you the most basic product possible. Like the original varieties, Elmhurst's unsweetened milks have a variety of functions not limited to drinking.

WHY DRINK UNSWEETENED

Sugar, like anything, is a moderation exercise. What is “moderation”? There is no exact rule. It depends on your diet and personal goals. However, reasons for switching from sweetened to unsweetened plant milk follow the pattern of research. Substantially reducing added sugar intake – especially of added and refined types – may help with cardiovascular health and to manage weight gain, for example.1,2

If you still prefer our standard varieties, that’s fine, too! No original Elmhurst grain or nut milk contains more than 6g added sugar per serving.

  • -Original Milked Cashews – 1g added sugar (2% DV)
  • -Original Milked Oats – 1g added sugar (2% DV)

It's more than just nutritional data, however. For non-drinking applications – like coffee, cereal, smoothies, cooking, and baking – our unsweetened varieties offer both flexibility to control sugar levels and neutrality that cooperates with other flavors.
