There are no two ways about it. Cow's milk is a great source of calcium and vitamin D, which you need to absorb calcium, protein and potassium. But if you're lactose intolerant, vegan or have dairy allergies, milk suddenly becomes way more trouble than it's worth — or simply off-limits. Thankfully, milk alternatives abound. Move over soy milk, because almond milk might just be a healthier and tastier competitor. But before we jump to conclusions, let's examine exactly what's in this one.
What's in It:
Purified water, evaporated cane juice, almonds, tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, potassium citrate, carrageenan, soy lecithin, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D2, d-alpha-tocopherol (natural vitamin E)
The first ingredient is purified water. Exactly like it sounds, purified water is basically tap water, purified through a system to get rid of any impurities. Next, we have evaporated cane juice. The only difference between regular sugar and evaporated cane juice is that the cane juice is less refined than regular sugar. I'm going to have to veto this ingredient. It's an added sugar and doesn't need to be in milk — substitute or not.
