MILK ALTERNATIVES- what to look for
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s a huge array of alternative ‘milks’ available now. While they’re not technically milk, they are often called that because they look like and are used for similar purposes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These products can make suitable alternatives but here’s a couple of things to consider
✔️Fortification with Calcium, vitamin D and B12 is sometimes but not always done. Check the label to pick the most nutrient rich option
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️Some are sweetened with added sugar so check the ingredients list to avoid these brands
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️Additives can be unnecessary .. vegetable oils added to soy milk for example!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➖Milk alternatives tend to contain less protein than their dairy equivalent. Soy contains approx 25% less and almond, oat, rice and macadamia ‘milks’ contain 90% less protein at approx 1g per glass
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️✔️Soy is the winner for dairy free milk alternatives because of its nutrient profile
