It doesn't really taste like almond--certainly not like the almond extract flavor you are thinking of. Actually has a very mild, dairy-milk flavor. Not strong like soy, which I don't like in coffee or on cereal because it overpowers. I think it would be worth a try. I have used Silk and Almond Breeze brands.
