If you thought replacing cow’s milk with almond, coconut, hemp or cashew milk was where the trend stopped, guess again. While nut milks were a big thing a few years ago—and still are—some unusual ingredients, like potatoes, bananas, oats and peas, are now popping up as milk substitutes. These are the newest ones on the market and the ones you have to try.
Sourced from bananas, this potassium- and protein-rich milk makes for the perfect smoothie base. Not only does it contain high levels of calcium and potassium, but it’s also a good milk alternative for those that follow a vegan diet.
Enjoy this oat-based milk either chilled or at room temperature. No matter how you drink it, you’re bound to get all the nutritional benefits like protein, healthy fat and fiber minus all the sugar.
“With all the nuts ‘milked’ already, the alternative-dairy scene has been looking to plant- and vegetable-based options because so many people follow dairy-restrictive diets. Vegetable-based milks are a way to tap into this market,” says New York nutritionist Brigitte Zeitlin, founder of BZ Nutrition. “The most popular one right now is unsweetened pea milk, which is creamy and makes a good base for a latté.”
