Vegetable beverages whether or not to substitute them with milk
Table of Contents
1. Why is a plant-based beverage not milk?
Vegetable beverages, regardless of the products on which they are based, consist mainly of water. In order to obtain a nutritional value close to that of cow's milk, vegetable drinks are enriched, for example, with calcium or vitamins. Plant drinks have a suspension of crushed and dissolved vegetable material in water, but only resemble a product in appearance. The use of the term'vegetable milk' is erroneous. Depending on the type and the type of vegetable drink produced, the protein content, the fat content and the amount of calcium in the milk can only be determined according to the calcium content of the milk and calcium produced by the European Union.2. Nutritional value of cow's milk and various vegetable drinks
In such cases, independent supplementation of the above ingredients is recommended, but their absorbability may be limited, so it is worthwhile to obtain them from a variety of sources. In the case of plant drinks, it is recommended to check labels. This is particularly important for vegans and people who restrict their diet because of the increased risk of deficiencies (e.g. Vitamin B12 and calcium). Nutritional values of milk and various plant beverages have been presented.3. Vegetable drinks of all kinds
The most popular beverages include: soybeans, rice, ?? orchid, oatmeal, ̇ almonds, ̶ coconut, ̋ kidney nuts, legumes, ̨ hemp. The above may be available in a variety of varieties: sweet, flavorful (classical, vanilla, chocolate, banana) or without added sugars, which affect the carbohydrate content of the product. It may also be used to prevent possible deficiencies, e.g. strawberries, which may help to cover the needs of other ingredients.4. It's a soy drink
Additionally, it has a beneficial calcium to phosphorus ratio. The soybean drink contains phytosterols, which may contribute to reducing the risk of cancer (breast, ovarian, lung, stomach, colon or esophageal cancer) and cardiovascular diseases. The soda-based drink is one of the most popular cow's milk substitutes in Poland. It is also recommended for constipation.5. It's a rice drink
However, rice drinks contain a high amount of carbohydrates, which is why people with diabetes should avoid them in their diets. It can be considered one of the least allergenic plant drinks. The advantage of these products may be that they contain phytosterols, which can help improve the functioning of the heart system. People who are allergic to nuts or soybeans can reach for them without fear.6. It's an almond drink
Although almonds are valued for their high content of vitamins B2, E, fiber or unsaturated fatty acids, few of these ingredients will be left behind by dissolving them in water and filtering them in the almond drink itself.7. A drink of oatmeal
Oatmeal, when combined with other milk substitutes, contains a relatively high amount of dietary fiber and contains beta-glucans, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.8. The benefits of herbal drinks
In addition, these products are free of cholesterol, which can have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, for example. Vegans and people who experience discomfort after drinking cow's milk do not have to give up their favorite foods. Vegetable beverages are an easily digestible source of mineral ingredients.9. The disadvantages of herbal drinks
In addition, they have an unnaturally sweet flavor, often resulting from the addition of large amounts of sugar or other sweeteners. They are not included in the list of plant-based beverages available in stores.10. Home or from the store? Which is better
It should be borne in mind that cow's milk and dairy are excellent sources of calcium and vitamins. Unfortunately, a homemade vegetable drink cannot be a good source of either calcium or vitamin B. Therefore, people who completely abstain from dairy products should look for fortified versions of vegetable drinks that can be purchased in stores. This can help to balance their diet well and minimize the risk of deficiencies. However, those who want to modify their diet can choose home drinks.11. The blind traps
They are very often sweetened (they can contain up to 7.5 g of sugar/100 ml). Manufacturers also add stabilizers, emulsifiers and thickeners. Manufacturers' creativity is unlimited, so it should be emphasized that at the beginning of the composition should be water and the base from which the drink is made, e.g. almonds. The shorter its composition, the better. This also applies to herbal drinks.12. A prescription for homemade herbal drinks
It may seem like it's hard and time-consuming to make herbal drinks on your own, but it isn't.13. It's a rice drink
