Tried & Tested: Giraf Macadamia Milk
You will know by now that we’re all for trying new things. One of the latest things we just had to try – especially in this ever-growing world of milk alternatives – was South Africa’s very own Giraf Macadamia Milk. All in all, this delicious, plant-based milk offers a sustainable, healthier and tastier option if you are one of those ready to embrace a dairy-free lifestyle (or just keen on something different).
What Makes it Special?
Giraf Macadamia Milk is naturally dairy-free and perfect for those with lactose intolerance or looking to reduce their dairy intake. It also comes with a rich, creamy texture and incredible versatility. Whether you’re using it in cooking, baking or adding it to your morning coffee, it sure delivers flavour and texture we’ve yet to find elsewhere. Plus, it’s become quite popular for its barista-quality foam! So, you can create delicious macadamia lattes or cappuccinos in the comfort of your own home – warm drinks that will rival any coffee shop’s offerings.
Goodness & Sustainability
The brand is committed to quality ingredients. In fact, Giraf Macadamia Milk is free from vegetable and seed oils and packed with the natural richness of the macadamias it’s made of. Not to mention that these nuts are a superfood known for its healthy fats, essential nutrients and antioxidants. Ultimately, you’re giving your heart, brain and circulation a boost with every sip.
The macadamias used in Giraf’s milk are sustainably and ethically grown by South African farmers in the sunny region of Mpumalanga. Philip Moufarrige, Founder and Managing Director of Giraf, says: “Our macadamias are processed at our own facility in White River and packed in 100% recyclable packaging.” This reinforces the brand’s dedication to sustainability.
Taste the Benefits
The dairy alternative offers three yummy variants – Original, Macadamia with Oats and Macadamia with Vanilla – and we’ve tried them all, for good measure. Each one brings its own subtle nuttiness and unique flavour. There is also a Natural Unsweetened version coming soon and to top it off, there is even a Luxury Cacao variant in the works. Yup, seems like the options are expanding for those who crave quality dairy alternatives and even while we’re not exclusively dairy free, we’d opt for these any day.
From lower calories and less sugar than traditional milk, to being vegan, keto and paleo-friendly, Giraf Macadamia Milk is undoubtedly a gamechanger. And, its nutritional benefits and farm-to-pack traceability make it a standout choice for conscious consumers.
You’ll find Giraf Macadamia Milk at leading supermarkets, health stores and online retailers across South Africa.
