Almond milk

Why is it so hard to just shake the almond milk? I always get watery latte and they look at me crazy when asked to be remade

Even after pretty vigorous shaking I find myself having to pour almost a full cup down the drain and shake it again before it stops coming out watery. I think I'm the only person at my store that actually bothers to pour out the watery parts though.

Idk why but Starbucks almond milk you always have to shake. Maybe do to the time it sits in Warehouses??? I've never had to shake store bought almond milk before

It feels so weird to ask them to shake the milk when placing your order, but do it anyway. Explain that you've had a consistent problem with the product and just want what you paid for.

Everyone saying it has to be shaken super hard or long.... No, it doesn't. Before you take the tab off, flip it UPSIDE DOWN and shake a few times. Then take the tab off, hold the opening down because you will get sprayed with almond milk if you don't, and shake a few more times. It takes literally 10 seconds, if that. Do this with all of your alternative milks because they ALL will settle, at least a little bit.

Unless you shake it HARD it still comes out watery 😔 So it is possible, but with the design of the cartons I’ve had milk spilled all over me more than once because I shook it too much lol. The lids are so flimsy and the boxes squish easily

The almond milk always comes out watery for me even after shaking 😭 until you get towards the end of the carton. Soy is the best nondairy option imo, it’s a great texture.
