As I’m sure we all know, it is clear that alternatives to dairy are becoming exceedingly popular. Increasing amounts of cafes seem to be supplying milk alternatives as more and more people are now choosing not to eat or drink dairy and it is not just the people who are lactose intolerant but also those that choose a dairy free diet as part of a healthier living option. There are so many different types of milks in the fridges of supermarket these days, for example: almond, soya, coconut, oat, rice, hemp, hazelnut and cashew. So there are plenty to try and depending on its purpose, some work better than others.
Soya and almond milk are the most popular of all the alternatives for a few reasons. They are commonly the more affordable of all of them, with the more expensive being cashew and hazelnut in some brands. Also soya milk is the most comparable to cow’s milk as it is the most ‘complete’ as a source of protein, fat and carbohydrates. All of these milks can also be sold in sweetened or unsweetened versions so can suit even more people’s lifestyles and diets. They can even be used as a treat as there are flavours to choose from like strawberry, vanilla and chocolate and this can make it interesting for kids too, if you’re trying to make the change as a family.
