Review: Giraf launches Unsweetened Macadamia Milk

Since its debut in 2024, Giraf Macadamia Milk has captured the hearts and tastebuds of plant milk enthusiasts with its unparalleled creaminess and commitment to quality.

In response to the growing demand from health-conscious consumers seeking even more control over their sugar intake, Giraf has surprised and delighted again with the launch of its latest innovation – NEW Unsweetened Macadamia Milk variant.

Available online and in select retail stores this latest addition retains the rich, creamy texture that fans love but has no added sugar and includes more Macadamia nuts per pack than any other nut milk available.

A Nut Milk Revolution
With health benefits that surpass those of other plant-based alternatives, and its distinct combination of lower calories, balanced fats, and natural sweetness the Giraf Macadamia range already stands out as exceptional choice for people who are mindful of their dietary preferences.

New Unsweetened Option
Giraf Unsweetened Macadamia Milk is incredibly low in carbohydrates and unlike other alt-milks, it is totally unsweetened. With just 321 KJ per 250ml serving, it offers a mere 77 calories per serving, allowing you to sip smarter.

At only 1g of carbs per 100ml, and just 0.4g of sugar per 250ml serving, it is essentially sugar-free, providing a wholesome option for health-conscious consumers, and the rich, creamy texture that Giraf is known for.

With 25% more macadamias than other macadamia milks, each serving of Giraf is loaded with the wholesome goodness of macadamias, a superfood packed with healthy fats, essential nutrients, and antioxidants. It’s more than just a tasty beverage; it boosts your heart health, brain function, and blood circulation.

What we say:

“Of all the plant-based milks I’ve tried, Giraf Macadamia Milk has been one of my favourites. I love the flavour, I love the creamy consistency and I love the health benefits. So many plant milks contain added seed oils and other unfavourable additives, but Giraf products are completely free of seed oils, dairy and artificial colours or preservatives.

The new Giraf Unsweetened Macadamia Milk is such a win for anyone wanting to lower their sugar intake. And to be honest, you don’t need to be diabetic or in the middle of fighting a health battle to make the change. We could all do with less sugar in our diets.

You can add this milk to your tea or coffee, cereal, sauces, soups and more. I’ve been using mine in my daily smoothie. I have a love-hate relationship with dairy, and I am always looking for tasty dairy substitutes as dairy has a negative effect on my skin, as well as on my gut.

Instead of my usual yoghurt, I’ve been adding Unsweetened Macadamia Milk to my smoothie mixture. I don’t miss the taste of yoghurt at all! My smoothies still have a rich and creamy consistency and a delicious, slightly nutty, taste.

Giraf has all the traits I look for in a sustainable brand: They use ethically-sourced, high-quality ingredients, they are transparent in their marketing, and their packaging is recyclable (plus, the cartons are made from 87% plant-based materials – how cool?!). I love that the products are manufactured locally with South African ingredients.

I enjoy all the variants, but for now, I think I’ll stick with the Unsweetened one as my number one choice. It’s just as tasty as the others, but with the added benefits of no added sugar. If you haven’t tried it yet, I urge you to give it a go.” Anien – Editor
