NUT MILK = LIFE CHANGER!

I’m crazy about these awesome milk alternatives because I’ve learned that they taste wonderful and pack some serious nutritional perks. Nut milks are a great, nondairy source of calcium, since most are fortified with it. Just avoid the sweetened varieties. Here are some of my faves.

Almond Milk

Pour a glass of . . . Silk PureAlmond or Original Almond Milk

Although almond milk isn’t packed with protein like the nuts themselves, it is a solid way to get a dose of calcium, as well as some vitamin B12 and riboflavin. Almond milk is an especially significant source of vitamin E. Plus, it’s amazingly creamy and has a super-satisfying hint of sweetness. If you try another brand, make sure to choose one that doesn’t contain carrageenan, an indigestible thickener often added to almond milk.

Cashew Milk

Pour a glass of . . . So Delicious Dairy Free Cashew Milk

Cashew milk is a solid source of vitamins B12, D, and A; in fact, it often contains more D than cow’s milk. Expect a nutty, earthy taste that pairs well with a whole grain cereal.

Coconut Milk

Pour a glass of . . . So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk

Coconut isn’t truly a nut—but its milk is often lumped in with the others, since it has similar nutritional properties, including doses of calcium and vitamin D. Bonus: Coconut milk contains fatty acids known to kill plaque-causing bacteria in our bodies.

Hemp Milk

Pour a glass of . . . Tempt Hemp Milk Unsweetened Original

Hemp is technically a seed, but like actual nuts, hemp milk contains a dose of healthy fats—specifically, heart-healthy omega-3s. Other perks: This milk alternative fights inflammation, clotting, and high cholesterol, she says.
