3 h. ago Soy, oat, almond, rice: which alternative milk is healthiest?

The best choice depends on your needs and preferences, say experts – here’s how to pick the one for your lifestyleThe dairy aisle might need a new name, given the diversity of products on offer. Dana Ellis Hunnes, a senior clinical dietitian at UCLA Health, says her local grocery store often stocks more non-dairy milk options than dairy ones. She’s tried various options, including a brief phase with coconut milk (“It was too creamy and too watery at the same time”). Now, she enjoys oat milk, which adds the right amount of creaminess to her coffee.The best choice depends on individual needs and preferences, says Hunnes.
