Running out of almond milk isn’t ideal, whether you’re dairy-intolerant, vegan, or just like the taste. But it’s not worth a trip to the grocery store just for a bottle of almond milk. So the question is:
Does Circle K sell almond milk?
Maybe. It depends on the store. Some Circle K stores offer non-dairy milk like Almond milk and some don’t.
While this might not be the answer you wanted, it’s a fact that not all Circle K stores sell products like almond milk or other alternatives like soy milk. At my local Circle K store, I can’t purchase almond milk as it is not sold in this location.
Does Circle K Sell Almond Milk?
In the USA, almond milk is still not as popular as in other countries, but definitely on the rise. In the 2010s, almond milk first began its rise in popularity – overtaking soy milk as the milk alternative number 1. The growth of the market is predicted to continue.
That does not mean that it is sold everywhere yet, though. Some Circle K stores do not sell almond milk – either because they have tried to offer it and it didn’t sell enough, or they never started. This might change in the future.
There are quite a few Circle K stores that sell almond milk (and some other dairy alternatives). The smaller a Circle K store is, the less likely it is you will find almond milk – unless it is in an area where almond milk is a very popular choice.
The only way to find out for sure is to go there or to call the store and ask.
Where Do I Find Almond Milk In Circle K?
In a store that sells almond milk, you will generally find it close to dairy milk (usually in a refrigerated section).
If the store sells non-chilled almond milk, look for it close to coffee and tea.
How Long Does Circle K’s Almond Milk Last?
Almond milk has a use-by or best-before date printed on the bottle (or carton). While almond milk may still be good for a few days after that date, you should consume it before.
Once you open almond milk, you should consume it within 5-7 days (sooner if you can’t store it in a refrigerator).
Does Circle K Sell Flavored Almond Milk?
Most likely, you won’t find flavored almond milk in a Circle K store. If you do, it will most likely be vanilla or chocolate.
If you aren’t in a rush, you can get some nice flavored almond milk drinks online, for example:
- Trader Joe’s Blueberry and Lavender almond drink is a unique experience. It’s nice on its own but not suitable for putting in your coffee. Try to mix this into your breakfast oats.
- Almond Breeze’s Almond Milk blended with real bananas is also not good for coffee, but a nice drink on its own and also nice for making smoothies.
- For a classic chocolate drink, try Almond Breeze Chocolate Almond Milk. It’s a nice texture and is not too bad to make a slightly chocolatey coffee.
Does Circle K Sell Other Non-Dairy Milks?
Again, this also depends on the store. A store that sells almond milk will be more likely to also have soy milk in stock.
Some stores will also have non-dairy coffee creamers, but this depends greatly on what is profitable for each store.
Is Circle K Almond Milk Better Than Dairy Milk?
This question can lead to many long discussions and is not easily answered. When it comes to taste, it’s a matter of… well, taste. I find normal almond milk a little too watery for coffee but nice to make oats with.
Dairy milk, on the other hand, is great for hot drinks but comes with some ethical concerns, especially about animal well-being – while almond milk also isn’t quite as innocent as people may believe.
In the end, you need to try it for yourself. You might like it, or you might not. I’d recommend oat milk over almond milk if you need a dairy-free alternative for hot drinks.
Final Thoughts
Circle K may not be the best option if you need almond milk but don’t want to go grocery shopping. If your local Circle K is a comparatively big store (as opposed to a tiny Circle K), your chances to find almond milk are relatively good – but there’s no guarantee.
If you often run out of almond milk, consider buying some long-life almond milk in bulk and getting it delivered (like this pack of 12).
