I’ll cut to the chase – likely very questionable.
Do yourself a favor. Turn your milk container around. It doesn’t matter if you drink whole milk, skim milk, almond milk, cashew milk. Turn it around.
Look at the ingredients.
If it seems:
- You can’t pronounce them
- Have no idea what they are, or
- It’s a tremendously long list (just for milk)
It may be time to re-evaluate your weekly milk purchase choice.
Milk is not just milk anymore. What was delivered to our parents or grandparents decades ago is for the most part, quite the opposite of what’s being offered to us at the store.
If you go to the farmer’s market and get truly fresh milk – good for you.
My two cents – look at your milk’s label. This is a game changer. Let me tell you about my current go-to.
I recently discovered the brand Malk Organics. Its Organic Vanilla Almond Malk is always in my refrigerator.
Why I love it?
- 3 ingredients: filtered water, organic almonds, Himalayan pink salt
- Certified Organic (USDA)
- Glyphosate-free (Glyphosate is one of the world’s most common weedkillers that finds its way in your food sources)
How it’s different than others?
- No gums
- No fillers
- No oils
- No gluten
- Nothing artificial
How I use it?
- As a substitute in baking/cooking
- With protein shakes (ratio: 3/4 water; 1/4 Almond Malk)
- As a coffee creamer replacement
The icing on the cake? Their brand’s hashtag: #turnitaround
Isn’t it worth turning the container/bottle/package around on everything you buy? Slowly but surely, you can make a difference with your health.
