Many people have changed to non-dairy plant milk due to allergies or lactose intolerance, but some prefer them because plant milk has less impact on the environment. According to the USA Today, compared with milk, production of plant milk uses less land and water and has lower heat-room gas emissions.

Nutritionist Jamie Nadeau pointed out that the healthiest alternative to milk is bean because its nutritional value is comparable to milk. Milk is an important source of protein, calcification, vitamin D and other nutrients. Each cup of milk contains 8 grams of protein, while each cup of bean contains more than 6 grams. Although the protein content of different brands may vary, generally speaking, each cup of oatmeal milk contains only 3 grams, almond milk is slightly higher than 1 grams, and coconut milk is less.

Beans are health-friendly because it is a source of "complete protein" and contains nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot make itself; in addition, it contains rich vitamin B populations, fibers, drills and sterols, and can be suitable for reducing pyrosterols. The Ministry of Agriculture pointed out that the fortified soybean content is similar to that of vitamin D to milk, so it can be used to calculate the daily dairy intake. Nado said that beans and coconut milk are also low-carb choices compared to other non-dairy products as long as there is no added sugar. She said that due to the raw materials, the carbohydrate content will be higher.

But if you don't like the taste of yellow beans, how should you choose another non-milk that combines delicious and nutritiousness?

Nado said that if you just add a little to your coffee, you might as well consider what you like first; but if it is the main source of daily calculus, you need to compare label instructions and find products with the label "strength". She pointed out that each brand of plant milk is different, some have very little calcification, and some add sugar and flavor.

Nado means that almond milk, rice, coconut milk, and cashew milk are all the same; in terms of nutrients, swallow milk is similar. What is important is to pay attention to which sugar is added the most.
