Great benefits of plant-based milk

Plant-based milk is an increasingly popular substitute for cow's milk, both among people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to cow's milk protein, and among those who want to eat healthier.

In recent years, plant-based drinks, have become increasingly popular. There are almost no stores where they are not available and they are part of many recipes.

Vegetable milk is rich in vitamins and minerals, and most of them have a lower fat content. They do not contain cholesterol and are a healthy combination of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and are a perfect choice for people who have a slower digestive tract.

What is the best choice?

Soy milk is often described as the best substitute for cow's milk because it has a similar consistency and ratio of protein and fat, while almond milk is rich in magnesium, iron, protein, and fiber. Coconut milk is known for strengthening the immune system, it is creamy and tasty, and rice is very sweet and suitable for preparing desserts, although it contains less protein and calcium than cow's milk. Oat milk is also very popular because it lowers cholesterol and glucose, strengthens immunity, has a preventive effect on heart disease, works wonders for skin and hair ... Whichever you choose, you won't go wrong!
