PLANT BASED MILKS
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
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 is sometimes but not always done. Check the label to pick the most nutrient rich option.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Almond and rice (not pictured) are very low in protein.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️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!So check the ingredients list to minimise the additives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️✔️Soy and pea are the winners for dairy free milk alternatives because of their nutrient profiles.
