non-dairy MILK alternatives:



I thought this was such a super article discussing the non-dairy milk alternatives. Read on:
(figures are based on an 8oz serving, unless otherwise specified)

1. SOY: rich in protein, magnesium and C, 60 calories, 2g of fat (0.5g saturated) and 5g of sugar 
2. HAZELNUT: rich in protein and E, 110 calories, 3.5g of fat (0g saturated) and 14g of sugar
3. HEMP: rich in omegas, amino acids, and protein, 60 calories, 5g of fat (0.5g saturated) and 0g of        sugar
4. ALMOND: rich in flavonoids and E, 60 calories, 2.5g of fat (0g saturated) and 7g of sugar
5. RICE: typically enriched with calcium, B12, A and D, 45 calories, 2g of fat (0g saturated) and 0g of sugar

Almost all of these alternatives contain as much calcium as cows milk. Make sure to do your research before switching permanently.
