Milking it’ with Almonds

The dairy industry is in distress. it is dying, slowly and steadily in the years to come. Hence, in order to make up for this void the food industry is continually churning out substitutes. Some are healthier than their counterparts and some are just gimmicks!

On that note let’s talk about one of the most flourishing substitutes to animal milk – Almond milk. Almonds have been around for centuries and they are famed for their wholesomeness. Almond milk, on the other hand, started gaining popularity in the early 2000’s and in the last decade it’s been one of the most trusted sources of nutrition in kids and adults alike.

So, without further ado let’s discuss some of the most admired benefits of almond milk.

1. Weight watcher – This low calorie nutty drink keeps you full and satisfied and aids in weight loss as compared to the daily servings of dairy.
2. Antioxidant alert – Almonds are naturally high in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant tag combats stress and inflammation.
3. Lactose-free – lactose is a sugar found in animal milk. Almond milk is plant based and hence it’s free of lactose. Hence almond milk is a suitable alternative for lactose intolerant people.
4. Vegan-friendly – Some people avoid dairy due to religious, environmental or lifestyle reasons, one of them being veganism.
5. Lower risk on kidneys – lower levels of phosphorus and potassium in almond milk makes this drink suitable for patients who suffer from chronic kidney and heart diseases.

All in all, buy almond milk for whatever reasons you like. it’s a go-to drink for all those who cannot or choose not to drink animal milk.

Brands like ‘So Good’ are making a mark in the market by selling flavoured and unsweetened almond milk. Consume it in the form of smoothies or add it to your day-to-day meals, almond milk is extremely healthy and beneficial for your daily dose of protein and nutrition.
