Have you really tried plant-based milk? In recent years, cow’s milk has ceded much of its popularity to more animal and environmentally friendly alternatives. There are more and more options available to people who want to cut back on dairy but don’t like dry cereal. Check out these eight incredible plant-based milks!

Almond

Almond milk is one of the most popular and widely available plant-based milks. It is even easy to prepare at home. Many people prefer almond milk because it has an ideal flavor and consistency to consume with other types of food, such as cereal. It’s low in calories and ideal for people who want to get plenty of calcium.

Plant-based milk: Cashew

The plant-based milk made with cashews is ideal for salad dressings, creams and dairy alternatives for breads and other baked goods. Cashew milk is low in carbohydrates and saturated fats. It’s perfect for people who want to avoid cow’s milk or who have conditions such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Rice milk

Many of the alternatives to dairy are plant-based milks made with nuts. However, there are also options, such as rice milk, for people who are allergic to nuts, seeds, and dairy. In nutritional terms, rice milk is not one of the most recommended alternatives, since it does not provide many vitamins or minerals, but you can find fortified versions.

Coconut milk

Coconut is one of the most versatile foods you can find. In addition to being rich in nutrients, it has a distinctive flavor and aroma that make it delicious in many forms. Like cashew milk, coconut milk is perfect for use in preparing foods such as smoothies, soups, and creams. Its caloric content is approximately 230 calories per 100 grams.

Hazelnut milk

A serving of hazelnut milk contains between 70 and 100 calories in addition to 9 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbohydrates. Thanks to this, it is considered a healthy alternative to dairy products. Hazelnut milk is generally used in beverages such as coffee or in the preparation of baked goods. It is ideal for preparing hot chocolate in the winter.

The other plant-based milk: Oat

This plant-based milk is one of the most recommended for those who are trying to cut cholesterol since science has proven that oats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels in the blood. In addition, it has a high fiber content as well as antioxidants. The consistency of oat milk is not as thick as other plant-based milks and it has a sweet flavor.

Macadamia milk

Macadamia milk is a higher calorie option, with a total of 718 calories per 100 grams. However, it is low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Macadamia milk is generally fortified with vitamins A, D and B12. It’s free of ingredients such as gluten and soy, which makes it a friendlier product for people with food allergies.

Soy milk

This is probably the most popular plant-based milk among vegans and vegetarians, as it is an alternative that has practically the same amount of protein as cow’s milk. Soy milk also contains a good amount of calcium, as well as vitamins B12, B2, D and A. Something that differentiates it from other plant-based milks is that it can be found in flavors such as chocolate and vanilla.
