Almond, oat and soy milk are suitable for people who are lactose intolerant, vegetarians or look for healthier products.
Each of these types of milk has its own health benefits and has become an indispensable part of many people's diets.

It provides essential nutrients while helping to avoid health problems related to the consumption of animal milk.
Benefits of each type of plant milk
Across India, the trend of switching from animal milk to plant milk is increasing.

Not only good for the digestive system, plant milk also brings many significant health benefits. Here is a comparison of the benefits of each plant-based milk:
Soy milk
Soy milk is a popular choice for those who seek a source of plant-based protein. With the same protein content as cow's milk, soy milk also contains isoflavones, a compound that is beneficial for heart health. In addition, soy milk also has the ability to reduce bad cholesterol levels in the body.
Oat milk
Oat milk is a great choice for those who want to maintain stable blood sugar levels. It provides soluble fiber (beta-glucan) which helps lower cholesterol and improve heart health.
Oat milk also contains complex carbohydrates, which help the body maintain energy for a long time and control blood sugar better.
Almond milk
Almond milk is low in calories, making it an ideal choice for those who want to lose weight. It contains monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radical damage. In addition, almond milk also supports the immune system and skin health.
