If you are looking for a nutritious option to fill you up and provide a good source of protein, cowโs milk or soy milk are the best choices. If you are lactose intolerant or vegan, choosing the plant-based product is the way to go: almond, coconut or soy, or a lactose-free cowโs milk. For a low calorie option, unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk can give you what youโre looking for. Adding any of these options into smoothies, oatmeal or baked goods are tasty choices. Coconut milk is delicious in stews, soups and sauces (hint: think coconut curries!). The cost can also have an impact on your decision as plant-based milk alternatives or lactose-free milk tend to be higher in price.
Depending on your requirements and needs for milk or milk alternatives, you can incorporate a variety of these products into your diet.
