The post Should You Drink Dairy or Non-Dairy Milk? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>While non-dairy milk options like almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, and coconut milk are often marketed as healthy, it doesn’t always make sense to replace regular milk with these plant-based alternatives. They have completely different nutritional content and dairy milk is richer in certain nutrients, like calcium.
If you completely give up on dairy milk and drink plant-based milk instead, make sure you’re still intaking enough calcium, protein, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. All these things are commonly found in dairy milk and cutting out this ingredient can be harmful for your health unless you substitute.
Some people can’t tolerate lactose or can’t drink dairy milk at all, and for them it makes sense to cut it out completely. If you don’t have problems digesting milk, you don’t have to stop drinking it, you can combine it with non-dairy milk that you prefer and keep both in your diet.

]]>The biggest reason you’re not seeing pistachio milk everywhere yet is its price. It’s expensive to make, so it’s difficult to find a carton for less than $8 and there are plenty of plant-based milk choices that cost less than that. So why is it so amazing? Pistachio milk contains more potassium than other non-dairy milks, it’s an amazing source of antioxidants, and it’s very rich in heart-healthy fats.
If you can’t find pistachio milk in stores, you can make your own at home. All you need are some pistachios, water, tools, and time. In order to make it, it’s necessary to soak pistachios in water and leave them overnight, then rinse and drain them in the morning, blend them with water, and drain milk through a fine mesh strainer. This milk can be kept in the fridge for up to three days.

]]>Though butter and cheese are often considered keto staples, the answer is a bit more complicated. Many dairy products are great sources of protein, but you shouldn’t forget that they also contain sugar. The lactose found in dairy breaks down into glucose, a sugar in your body that will prevent ketosis.
When in doubt, check the nutrition label on the product. You will quickly realize that ice cream, sweetened yogurts, and flavored milk have more calories and higher sugar content compared to plain milk or cheese. Hard cheese, soft cheese, butter, and even whipped cream should be your go-to choices if you can’t resist dairy while on keto.
