I don't drink dairy, do my best to avoid soy products, and have never gotten into rice milk. The reasoning behind the decisions to avoid these milks deserve lengthy individual blogs for each, but for the sake of simplicity, I will briefly sum up my reasoning behind each and move on to what's more important, the good milks to drink. Whether it be on your cereal, or in smoothies: flaxmilk, almond milk, walnut milk, and coconut milk are delicious alternatives to the mainstream.
Milks to Avoid:
Dairy: Comes from a COW's udder. Lactose (milk sugar).
Soy: Cash crop. High pesticide. Chemical fertilization. Estrogenic
Rice: Very little nutritiounal value. High sugar/carb.
Milks to Try:
Flaxmilk (vanilla): 1100 mg Omega-3 per serving. 11g Evaporated cane juice. 60 calories per serving.
Almond Milk (plain): Monounsaturated fats. Lower sugar (than vanilla almond milk)
Walnut Milk: Nutritional values close to flaxmilk. Delicious.
Coconut Milk: Healthy saturated fats.
Whats really great about nut milks is that they're easy to make yourself (if you have a good blender and patience to find the right recipe that is to your taste liking.)
Very Easy Way to Make High Fiber Nut Milk Shake:
1. Grind nuts in coffee grinder
2. Add to blender with water
3. Add vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener of your choice (honey, pure maple syrup, agave, dried dates, fruit) to taste
4. Enjoy
