The milk debate still continues 'Reg milk vs Organic', there are so many choices out there it's a little nauseating. So far I am a Soy milk girl. Its healthy & with the Soy I am no longer lactose intolerant:-) These are a few choices.
Skim
86 calories; .4 gram total fat; 12 grams carbohydrates; 12.5 grams sugar; 8.4 grams protein. Skim is less caloric than whole milk while still offering a good dose of calcium and protein (one serving offers four times the amount of protein that's in a glass of O.J.).
Rice
120 calories; 2 grams total fat; 25 grams carbohydrates; 0 gram fiber; 0 gram sugar; .4 gram protein. This sugar-free milk comes from a mix of partially milled rice and water and is especially revered for the fact it won't trigger allergies in anyone who can't drink other kinds of milk (nut, soy, cow's, and so on). A possible downside? It doesn't have much protein as cow's milk per serving.
Soy
132 calories; 4.3 grams total fat; 15 grams carbohydrates; 1.5 grams fiber; 9.8 grams sugar; 8 grams protein. Made with a mixture of soy beans, water, and natural sweetener, soy milk is cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.
Almond
60 calories; 3.5 grams total fat; 6 grams carbohydrates; 5 grams sugar; 1.4 grams protein. This milk is the result of blended roasted almonds that are then infused with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin E. It doesn't have as much protein as cow's or soy milk.
Hemp
60 calories; 6 grams total fat; 10 grams carbohydrates; 0 gram fiber; 6 grams sugar; 2 grams protein. Hemp milk comes from the same plant that marijuana does, but you're not going to get any tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) when you drink it—to make the milk, hemp seeds are blended with water and then filtered. The seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and those are included in the resulting milk.
