Milk alternatives such as plant-based milks have become hyper popular over the years. People looking for a dairy-free milk substitute have probably stumbled across almond drinks and are wondering if almond drinks are good for them, and the answer is yes! Whether you’re a vegan, lactose intolerant (sensitive to dairy-based milk) or dislike the taste of dairy-based milk, almond drink is a fabulous alternative.Almond drink is nutritious and is made by grinding almonds, mixing them with water and then filtering the mixture to create a product that looks a lot like dairy-based milk and contains a nutty flavor. What better way to begin than by switching to SOFIT Almond Drink.
So, why should you make the switch?
Daily consumption of the right amount of dietary fibres have long term digestive benefits and keep you feeling fit and fab. As you age, you may tend to get increasingly sensitive to lactose. Plant-based drinks like SOFIT Almond Drink are perfectly fine to consume, regardless of your lactose sensitivity, so you can enjoy your favorites, irrespective of your age.
Lower calories and carbs* - a godsend for your diet chart
Some may find this confusing, as almonds are known to be high in calories. However, thanks to the way almond drink is processed, only a small portion of almonds is included within the finished product. Unsweetened almond milk like the SOFIT Almond Drink Unsweetened is lower in calories and carbohydrates*, and works great as a dairy-based milk alternative.*Lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to cow’s milk (Ref. ICMR 2010)
