Dairy & Dairy Alternatives Plant Milk 🇬🇧 CoFID 2021
✦ Very low calorie (~15 kcal/100ml) ✦ Fortified with calcium and vitamin D ✦ Very low protein: not equivalent to dairy ✦ Low carbohydrate

Unsweetened almond milk is a plant-based milk alternative made by blending almonds with water and straining out the solids. It is very low in calories (~13-20 kcal/100ml) and naturally low in carbohydrate, making it popular for low-calorie diets. Most commercial almond milks are fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 to partially replicate dairy milk's nutritional role, though protein content is very low (~0.4g/100ml) compared to cow's milk or soya milk.

Preparation note

Check the label for fortification — unfortified almond milk provides very little calcium or vitamin D. Not suitable as a sole milk replacement for infants or young children due to its very low protein content.
