Whether you're lactose intolerant, following a vegan diet, or just curious about new options, finding the right plant-based milk can make a big difference for your health and lifestyle. Let’s dive into the variety of plant-based milks and discover how to choose the best one for your taste and nutritional needs. 🌱🥛⁠
⁠
Here’s what to keep in mind: ⁠
⭐️ Simple ingredients - Fewer is better! these are both great examples. ⁠
 Ideally, it should just be a nut or seed, water, and maybe a pinch of salt.⁠ ⭐️ Skip the additives - Watch out for added oils, sugars, preservatives, or emulsifiers.⁠ ⁠
⭐️ Check for nutrients - Consider if you need added calcium or protein, especially since many plant milks lack these nutrients. Balance them with your overall diet if needed.⁠
⁠
Our top tip: Make your own! Blend your favorite nuts or seeds with water, strain, and enjoy fresh, homemade plant milk.⁠

What's your go-to plant-based milk?
