Which Non Dairy Milk is Best?

Cow milk is a thing of the past and we are now in the era of plant based milks! With this change comes the confusion of “which non dairy milk should I buy?” or “which non dairy is healthiest?”. With all the different plant milks out there: soy, cashew, almond, oat, and coconut the options can be overwhelming! Although all nuts are nutritious, choosing one can be difficult. 

This is why we have decided to help you find the best and most nutritious non dairy milk to guide your new milk journey! Below is a list of the most common nut milks and a little about them!

Almond Milk

Almond milk is made from almonds and is a great nut milk option if you are looking to cut on calories! You can find both sweetened and unsweetened almond milk, where the unsweetened version is the lowest in calories. Almonds have a ton of calcium, vitamin E and protein which are great for your health. This is the perfect “beginner” nut milk that is full of nutrients and has no weird taste.

Oat Milk

Oat milk is made from oats and is the richest and creamiest of nut milks. It is the one that most resembles regular milk and is very tasty in coffee. Oat milk is also very healthy for you as it is high in fibre and vitamins while being low in fat. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels and has bone strengthening materials. This is easily one of the best non dairy milks that is a favourite based on benefits and flavours!

Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is rich and healthy. It comes from coconut and has a slight coconut flavour undertone. Coconut milk is high in saturated fats which improve cholesterol levels and blood pressure. This milk is one of the higher in calories one, but a small serving does no harm.

Soy Milk

Soy milk is one of the more popular nut milks that is made from soybeans. It is full of proteins making it a strong contender for cow milk. However, studies have shown that soy contains estrogen like compounds. Some studies show that these compounds could promote the growth of some cancer cells, impair fertility and effect thyroids. With this in mind, consume in moderation, or stick with one of the other options!
