For around four pints of almond drink, plan by carton volume rather than assuming you need one four-pint bottle: Tesco lists relevant 1L cartons, so two provide less than the roughly 2.27L target and three provide more. Choose the exact variant by its sugars, ingredients and allergen label; an 8 x 1L multipack makes more sense for repeat use than a small top-up.
If you want almond drink alongside a snack but prefer a no-sugars option, compare sugars per 100ml on the exact carton. Alpro lists 0g sugars per 100ml for its Roasted Almond No Sugars drink; that figure does not describe every almond drink.
If the aim is to keep about 2.27L at home, several 1L cartons can cover it without committing to Plenish’s 8 x 1L direct multipack. Check how much your household will use after opening each carton.
If the formula matters more than pack size alone, compare the individual labels. Plenish describes a three-ingredient almond drink, while Alpro’s Roasted Almond No Sugars drink declares added calcium and iodine; Rude Health’s standard Almond Drink includes rice and sunflower oil.
Start with the volume you will use, then compare the exact variant’s nutrition, ingredients and instructions for an opened carton.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack volume | Check litres per carton and cartons per pack. Four UK pints are about 2.27L; Tesco lists relevant 1L almond drinks, while Plenish offers an 8 x 1L direct multipack. | I want at least four pints on hand without buying far more than the household will use. Two 1L cartons fall short; three provide 3L. |
| Sugars | Compare the sugars figure per 100ml or 100g using the same measurement basis, as well as the ingredient list. Alpro reports 0g sugars per 100ml for Roasted Almond No Sugars; product names alone do not establish identical formulas. | For a late-night drink, I would rather choose by the nutrition panel than assume that ‘unsweetened’ and ‘no sugars’ mean the same thing. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact variant’s ingredients. Plenish describes its multipack drink as water, organic almonds and salt; Rude Health’s standard Almond Drink lists rice and sunflower oil. | A shorter ingredient list matters to me, or I may prefer another formula. I can compare those choices without assuming they have the same flavour or nutrition. |
| Allergens and storage | Read the current allergen warning and opened-carton instructions. M&S specifies refrigeration at 0°C to +5°C and consumption within three days after opening for its Unsweetened Almond Drink. | I need to account for anyone with a relevant nut or peanut allergy and know whether an opened carton will be finished within its stated timeframe. |
Tesco labels 2.272L as four pints for dairy milk, but its relevant almond-drink listings include 1L cartons. Two such cartons provide 2L; three provide 3L.
Decide whether four pints is a minimum or an approximate target, then check the total volume on the pack you intend to buy.
Alpro’s Roasted Almond No Sugars drink lists 0g sugars per 100ml, while other almond drinks can have different ingredients and nutrition values.
Compare the sugars figure on a consistent per-100ml or per-100g basis and read the ingredients for the exact variant.
UK Food Standards Agency guidance identifies almonds as tree nuts. M&S also warns that its Unsweetened Almond Drink is unsuitable for people with nut or peanut allergy.
If an allergy is relevant, check the current pack’s ingredients, allergen and may-contain statements before choosing a drink.
A multipack leaves cartons available for later, but opening one changes how it must be stored. M&S specifies 0°C to +5°C and use within three days after opening for its Unsweetened Almond Drink.
Check each product’s opened-carton instructions and choose a pack size that fits how often you will use it.
Alpro lists a 1L Roasted Almond No Sugars drink for shoppers comparing sugars and declared added nutrients.
Plenish offers an Almond M*lk Multipack of 8 x 1L for households planning to use several cartons.
Rude Health’s standard Almond Drink and No Sugars Organic Almond Drink have different recipes.
Tesco’s almond-drink listings provide 1L options to compare across several brands and its own label.
M&S lists an own-label Unsweetened Almond Drink for shoppers considering a 1L carton.
Sainsbury's lists a 1L Alpro Almond No Sugar Long Life drink.
This Joybuy option is an 8 x 1L almond-drink pack for keeping cartons at home, rather than a single carton close to four pints.

For keeping almond drink on hand for late-night use, this 8 x 1L long-life pack provides considerably more than the roughly four-pint target. Check the current carton’s nutrition, almond-allergen information and instructions for storage after opening.
Three 1L cartons provide 3L, exceeding the roughly 2.27L in four UK pints; two provide only 2L. Tesco’s relevant almond-drink listings include 1L cartons, so check the total volume if four pints is your minimum.
No: the sugars description does not remove the almond allergen. UK Food Standards Agency guidance identifies almonds as tree nuts; check the individual pack’s allergen and may-contain statements.
Choose by the exact product’s nutrition panel and ingredients, not those words alone. Alpro states 0g sugars per 100ml for its Roasted Almond No Sugars drink; compare any unsweetened alternative on a consistent per-100ml or per-100g basis.
Follow the instructions on the particular carton. M&S says to refrigerate its Unsweetened Almond Drink at 0°C to +5°C and consume it within three days of opening; unopened-carton instructions do not replace that opened-life guidance.
The amount depends on the product and serving size. Alpro lists 0.5g protein per 100ml for its Roasted Almond No Sugars drink; check the exact carton’s nutrition panel if protein is part of your snack choice.
