The rice drink has a much lower amount of proteins and carbohydrates. This is a good choice for those who are allergic to milk and soya protein.
As for the almond drink, it is appreciated for its good taste. Just like the rice drink, its protein content is low. The chocolate drink is much sweeter.
The award, however, goes to the soya drink, which is the closest to cow’s milk. Its protein content is 8 g per 250 ml, compared to 1-2 g per portion of rice milk or almond milk. The soya drink would satisfy us and give us more energy for a longer period of time, and it provides the added bonus of containing valuable phytoestrogens.
Whatever the choice may be, the drink will be fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
