To celebrate World Plant Milk Day, dietitian and nutritionist Rebecca Gawthorne from Nourish Naturally has created the following recipe.
“Plant milks are an excellent alternative to dairy milk for anyone who doesn’t like dairy or has dairy allergy or intolerance. They’re also great for those who choose not to have cow’s milk for environmental or ethical reasons, or anyone who simply wants to increase their plant food intake or try something different,” says Rebecca.
“Many plant milks contain heart-healthy fats and a range of vitamins and minerals, are lower in saturated fat than cow’s milk, are relatively low in calories and contain no cholesterol. My tip is to choose a plant milk that’s fortified with calcium and has low or no added sugar, so you’re getting a nutritious replacement in everything from drinking straight by the glass, to your morning oats, cereal or smoothie, coffee and even in cooking and baking.”
“Going dairy-free is not difficult at all. Simply swap your dairy milk wherever you use it for nutritious and delicious plant milks such as the calcium-enriched oat and almond milks from Califia Farms – a perfect switch from dairy without compromising on taste or nutrition,” she says.
