Today's post is all about milk (well at least the dairy free kind anyway! ). Supermarkets are now offering us so much more than just the soya.
The bargain hunter in me always opted for the soya options, which you can always pick up a litre of less than a pound in most supermarkets. However I know that there are many reading this who have allergies to soya, nuts or are simply looking for a product with the least amount of calories!
So just for you, I have tried them all! Now taste is very subjective, so rather than giving you MY favourite option, I thought I would give you a summary of the key nutrition facts for each type (per 100ml) highlighting calories, sugars and fat. I have also included starting retail price per litre(Sorry non UK readers!!).
As there are always offers, my recommendation is to do your research!
NUTRITION FACTS
Unsweetened Soya - 34kcals, 0.1g sugar and 1.9g fat. Price from 59p upwards.
Coconut - 27kcals, 1.6g sugar and 2.0g fat. Price from £ 1.39 upwards.
Hemp - 39kcals, 1.6g sugar 2.5g fat. Price from £1.19 upwards.
Unsweetened Almond- 14kcals, 0.1g sugar and 1.2g fat. Price from £1 upwards.
