Healthiest milk alternatives 🥛
Whether you’re looking beyond cow’s milk for health reasons or dietary preferences or simply want to experiment with different options, you may choose the most valuable option for your health 👩🏼⚕️
Here is few of them ⬇️
▫️H**p milk - high in protein and healthy omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fats. H**p milk is virtually carb-free, but some brands add sweeteners - read a label
▫️Oat milk - naturally sweet from the oats and high in carbs. Contain also soluble fiber which help stabilize your blood sugar levels and reduce your cholesterol levels.
▫️Almond milk - low in calories ( if unsweetened ) and much lower in carbs than cow’s milk. Naturally good source of the antioxidant vitamin E, many brands are fortified with calcium and vitamins A and D
▫️ Coconut milk - source of healthy medium-chain triglycerides ( good fats). Drinking coconut milk might boost your “good” cholesterol level.
▫️ Cashew Milk - low in calories, carbohydrates and sugar. On the downside, it contains very little protein, and may not be the best option for those with higher protein
requirements.
▫️ Macadamia Milk - is high in
monounsaturated fats and low in calories and carbohydrates.
▫️Quinoa milk - has a distinct flavor and is
slightly sweet and nutty. It contains a moderate number of calories, carbs and high-quality protein compared to other nondairy milks.
▫️ Rice Milk - low in fat and protein yet high in carbohydrates. Rice milk contains high levels of inorganic arsenic, which may cause some potential health problems
▫️ Soy milk - nutritionally closest alternative to cow’s milk. Excellent source of complete protein. May also help reduce your cholesterol, blood pressure, and breast cancer risk. Furthermore, despite claims that soy may increase breast cancer risk because it mimics estrogen in the body, scientific studies suggest that it may reduce this risk.
All milk alternative options offer various health advantages - a good strategy may be to mix up the types of milk you drink.
