Review of 'Califia Farms' Barista Blend Almondmilk (vegan)

Califia Farms -- Barista Blend Almondmilk (vegan, gluten-free)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: I like, I like. It has a subtle nutty flavour, a nice light creaminess to it, is only mildly sweetened...very nice, cool, refreshing. I am recommending and will definitely buy this again. The ingredients are simple and the nutritional profile is great. The brand is also environmentally-minded and health-conscious (read more about Califa Farms at the bottom of the page).
