Day 12: Try a plant-based milk today 🥛

You may just be surprised!

DAY 12 OF 14 Try a plant-based milk today Whether or not you're looking to cut back on animal products, including dairy, incorporating plant-based milk into your routine can be a tasty way to upgrade your nutrition. Options abound! Here are a few common choices. Note that most plant-based milks are fortified with vitamins and minerals, just like cow's milk. Unfortunately many of them also have added sugar; better to go with "unsweetened" varieties and add sweetener to taste if you need it. Almond — a little nutty and not quite as creamy as a dairy milk (look for almond-cashew for a creamier option). Vanilla-flavored almond milk complements many foods you may normally enjoy with milk. It's also fortified with vitamins D and calcium. Soy — naturally contains 8 grams of protein per cup (the same as cow's milk). It's also fairly creamy and makes a nice swap in coffees and teas. Coconut — has a mild but distinct coconut flavor. Coconut milk works well with many grains such as oats and rice, and is a tasty base for many soups and other dishes. Oat — nutty but a little more watery than other milks. It's the latest coffee-shop darling. For today's challenge: Pick up a small container of plant-based milk at the store or opt for a splash at the coffee shop. See what you like.
