, making chia
pudding and sprinkling walnuts in my salads. All this omega-3-scheming gets old real fast. For me, it's as if I have to squeeze yet another chore into my already-frenetic day.Good news! There's a tasty, tasty non-dairy milk on the market: Good Karma flax milks – all vegan and gluten-free. Each serving contains a whopping 1200 mg of balanced omega 3s, plus added calcium and vitamins B12 and D.
The good folks at Good Karma sent me three cartons to sample: original, unsweetened and vanilla. The carton promises "Creamy and delicious." This tagline is, by no means, hyperbole– and I'm not one to throw away a compliment. The milks all tasted smooth and rich – even the unsweetened, which – get this – weighs in at just 25 calories/2.5 grams of fat per cup, making this the perfect beverage for folks who are watching their weight and/or fat intake. But even original only contains 50 calories/2.5 grams per cup [Note: web site says 60 calories, but carton says 50. I'd prefer to believe the carton].
I tried these milks over cereals, in baked goods, in soups and in smoothies. They are my new favorite things, and they'll definitely be making a regular appearance in my shopping cart. Of the three, I was most partial to the vanilla. Most vanilla non-dairy milks taste too perfumey for my taste–like they are trying too hard, so I usually avoid them. But this vanilla is understated and subtle. The Good Karma web site says they also market a coffee creamer, which I am anxious to try.
That said, my only critique is that these milks did not work well in my morning cappucino. They seemed to lose their creaminess when heated – I'm not exactly sure why [in the cappucino only; I made a carrot cream soup with unsweetened as a base and it worked out fine]. But their good qualities more than make up for it.
Want to try Good Karma flax milks? Leave a comment and make sure there's a way I can contact you. [US residents only, please] You'll get a coupon for a free carton. I'll announce the winner in a few days. Good luck!

Would love to try the flax milk!
I've heard only good things about these flax milks. I'd love to try them for myself. You're right; it would be great to have another way to get in omega 3's.
I would love to win! I need some Omega 3's in my life.
A new "milk"! Awesome! I'm game to try it :):)
I have been waiting for a alternative to almond milk (I love it, but one needs variety). Send a free coupons my way
MMMM flax milk!!
I am always up for trying new varieties of non-dairy milk!
I'd love to try flax milk. flax is awesome
i would LOVE to try flaxmilk!!
Omg, I love this stuff! I'm drinking a flax smoothie right now!
vegan crunk posted about this stuff too... very intrigued now!
I didn't know such a thing existed... I bet I could make it at home, too... let's see what google says. :)
I would love to try flax milk! I've tried the Whole Foods brand (of course they make their own now! Anything to jump on a bandwagon!) and I'd love to compare it to Good Karma's. I'd probably use it in smoothies.
I'd love to try flax milk.
Lot's of omega 3 & I am still looking for an "unsweetened" milk that isn't too sweet.
I've never tried flax milk but I put Flaxseed sprinkles in my smoothie every morning to ensure I get enough Omega-3's! http://www.creativesoulinmotion.com/2012/02/tasty-tuesday-flaxseed-sprinkles/
frLove your informative evaluation on this new dairy alternative. (How do they milk those tiny seed-nipples though? lol)I thought I'd love coconut milk but was profoundly disappointed, always exciting to try something new
I have an unopened container of Whole Foods 365 Flax Milk. They had a display as I walked in. Sucker. :-) I would love to try this brand.
I've heard so much about flax milk lately- i would love to try it! I love non-dairy milks!
I've picked up the Flax milk at the store a few times, but end up going back to my almond and soy milk! Bad me for not exploring my taste buds! I would love to try it, though! I just need to get my hand to put it in the cart and not back on the shelf :)
I haven't found these anywhere in my area, but I definitely will be requesting them! They sound awesome, I love me a new plant milk.
I would love to try the flax milk!
i love almond milk-- i'd love to try flax!
Love to try
I've just started seeing these at my whole foods and am so anxious to try them out. I love flaxseeds, and so this seems like a good way to switch up my normal cereal with almond milk.
Hi there! Thank you for posting about another non dairy milk for me to be on the look out for! I hope I can get a hold of some free flax milk! I've actually never seen that stuff before I. The stores I shop.would be interesting for sure.Thanks again! CourtneyDeepsend@gmail.com
I would love to get to try the vanilla version! Wish there was a chocolate!
I'd love to try these! Karen
Oooh I'd lov to try these!!!
I have been looking for this brand everywhere! You'd think I could find it in Los Angeles, but no dice. I'd be so psyched to win and try it finally.
Hey, I'll give it a try...
Flax milk sounds yummy - I would love to try it!
You don't have to grind your own flax seeds! Just use the pre-ground ones, there is no loss of nutrition, and it's so much easier. Also, apparently even in cooked flax, like when we all bake with it, it maintains its benefits! Here's the link, also titled, "Just the Flax, Ma'am!" :-)

That milk looks great and I'd be psyched about a non-soy coffee creamer just to switch things up.
XOXO
Sounds like these would be good.

I've never heard of flax milk, I'd love to try that!
Put me down as another would love to try...

I've never tried flax milk, but it sounds great!
I've contemplated making flax milk myself, but it's not near enough to the top of my to-do list. I'd love to try this (and be totally lazy).
I would love to try these! My kiddos are soy intolerant, and we are always looking for new milk alternatives.
I would like to try this milk. I use flax seeds in my meals , always whole
I really would love to try a different type of milk. I've tried Almond, Soy, and Coconut.
I never heard of this, but it sounds great! Would love to try it. By the way, I made your blondies and the whole family loved them. Thanks!
Sounds interesting!
I am trying to go vegan and wish to avoid the fat n cows milk... I would love to try this. Thank you. t2sp@yahoo.com gail heinold
How fun! Would be great to try another tasty milk sub.
I just bought some of this last week. It is good. I switch between unsweetened almond, coconut and now I have something new to add to my meal.
Tastes good!! will uses regularly.

I had to use flax milk as I am allergic to almonds and coconut and needed to have something besides water to add to my VEga shake daily. A young clerk at Whole Foods suggested flax milk! It was a Godsend for me! Love it!
when i was newly vegan i was OBSESSED with hemp milk. creamy chocolate for my morning coffee was unbeatable! now that i have bills n shit, $4 a carton is too much for my unemployed ass.. would love to try the flax milk!
