@flourishnutrition_: Which plant-based milk is right for you? 🥛 As a nutritionist, the first thing I’d ask is why you’re reaching for a plant-based option. Is it because you dislike the taste of cow’s milk? Do you have lactose intolerance? Are you vegan? Or maybe you just love your oat milk latte? If we’re looking at the option that’s nutritionally closest to full-cream milk, soy milk takes the win 🥛 it’s higher in protein compared to most other alternatives. Oat milk often gets a bit of controversy due to its potential for post-prandial (after-meal) blood sugar spikes. This is because during commercial processing, enzymes break down oat starch into maltose — a sugar with a very high glycaemic index (around 105) — which makes it easier to digest and raises glucose levels more quickly. That said, if we’re talking about just one cup of oat milk in your morning coffee, I’m really not fussed. The bigger picture? Let’s focus on consistently getting in your 8 cups of vegetables a day, rather than stressing over 100ml of oat milk in your flat white ☕️ #nutrition @pureharvestau #oatmilk #healthymeals #nutritionist #bloodsugar
