Almond milk has become a trendy, dairy-free option for many who either prefer to avoid
dairy or are simply looking to drink their coffee with an alternative that's either better
or as good as traditional choices. When it comes to caloric content, a cup of almond milk is
somewhere around 30 calories, while the same amount of skim milk will be around 86 calories
to be precise. According to Healthline, almond milk also has a bunch of perks
such as the fact that the almond milk varieties that you get off the shelves are often enriched with nutrients like vitamin E, calcium, and vitamin D
When selecting an almond milk to replace regular milk, it's good to choose ones that
don't contain excessive amounts of sugar. Though occasionally a splash of sweetened
almond milk in your coffee serves as a nice sweetener and cream in one, almond milk is a good option because it can easily replace dairy and is readily available
for the most part. In fact, it's been linked to health benefits such as possibly helping you fight
against cancer and keeping your glucose levels in check thanks to the fact that it's low in sugar
It's indisputable that almond milk has now become a rather popular alternative
if you are dairy-free. According to Popular Science, the demand for almond milk rose up by
250 percent between 2010 and 2015. However, there is a catch. Consuming almond milk on an everyday
basis requires you to be a bit mindful, because almond milk in general isn't the same as dairy
milk, and there are major differences between brands of almond milk, too. Basically, each
brand will have a separate nutritional profile, and you need to pay attention to the labels on
that milk carton you're benaying. UCSF Office of Sustainability explains some varieties of almond
almond milk may cause digestive issues because of a thickening agent called carrageenan
something you should be wary of. Additionally, almond milk is suitable for some, but not a sustainable choice for others
That's especially true if you're looking at giving almond milk to infants, who need far more nutrition than what to offer in a cup of almond milk Valerie Adjeman a registered dietitian nutritionist told us milk isn as bad as people make it seem It is actually very nutritious Don get me wrong it isn as nutritious as cow milk but enriched almond milk comes pretty close to hitting the nutritional content of cow milk
This means that as a healthy adult, you may lose weight on account of the relatively lower
calories in almond milk without missing out on major nutrients such as calcium and vitamin E
as long as you make an informed choice at the grocery store. Here's some things to consider. Almond milk is not very satisfying on account of its low
protein content. Also, its benefits don't quite stack up if you compare it to an ounce of almonds
The latter has 6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of monounsaturated and
polyunsaturated fats. If you're looking simply to get the nutritional benefits of almonds
it may make sense for you to eat almonds on a regular basis instead of solely relying on almond
milk. However, the pros of almond milk are aplenty, such as better skin and the fact that
it's easy to prepare at home. All you need to do is to grind almonds, blend them with water
and filter the contents with a strainer for milk that's rather delicious. This is so people can do it at home. They just make it cute and you can rest your hand on it
because it gets your fingers going, let me tell you. Okay. Yeah
One of the major drawbacks of drinking almond milk on a regular basis is that you'd be contributing to damaging the environment
Consider this. Almonds need a lot of water for production, and as much as 130 pints of water for just one glass of almond milk
However, dairy itself isn't too great for the planet either, and producing a single glass causes three times the greenhouse gas emissions
in comparison to other dairy-free milk alternatives. Incorporating almond milk into your diet at the end of the day comes down to your personal preference
Just stay mindful and know what you're buying the next time you head out on a grocery run. If you find a spot, what are you doing
Just milk in the almond. Are you kidding? Yeah. The End The End
