BEST MILK SUBSTITUTES

What should you be looking for in alternative milk?

When buying milk substitutes, it’s important to consider the below on the labels;

Protein content should not be less than 7g.
Fortified vitamin D or calcium.
Ensure the mils have zero sugar or are labeled unsweetened.
Less than 3g saturated fats.
The sodium used should not exceed 140mg per serving.
Lactose-free and low in calories.
Other added nutrients like vitamin A and B12 or omega-3 fats.

What are the best milk alternatives?

I highly recommend the below milk alternatives;

Unsweetened Soy milk

Unsweetened soy milk is healthier alternative to dairy milk due to the similar nutritional content but with fewer calories and lactose-free. Soy milk is formed by soaking soybeans and filtering the blended pulp. It contains 8g of proteins, fiber, antioxidants, and polyunsaturated fats, with only 80 calories per cup, making it a healthy plant-based milk option.

Coconut milk

An ideal alternative for people looking for milk that has a sweet tropical taste and is rich in healthy fats. The milk is made by mixing coconut cream with water to produce a high-fat but low-carb and calorie milk. You can add it to teas to boost your satiety.

Peanut milk

Peanut milk is high in proteins and fiber with a creamy taste. It can increase satiety and help you lower your saturated fats and calorie intake.
