Edensoy Unsweetened Eden Organic Soymilk

This product was recommended by Anja Wolf from I Love Cookware

We all know that oat milk has been at the forefront of the plant based milk movement for over 5 years now, however soy milk is still a runner up to a great choice for an environmentally friendly plant milk. The thing about soy is you need to make sure you are buying it from an organic company that does not use GMO’s for the production. Soy is much more environmentally friendly than almond milk, so yes, the dream of the 90’s is alive in soy milk! Soy plants fix nitrogen in the soil, which allows you to use less fertilizers and have better soil for crop rotation! And since we were on the topic of the 90’s why not go with a tried and true brand like EdenSoy! Non GMO and organic!

Thai Kitchen Organic Unsweetened Coconut Milk

This product was recommended by Steve Anderson from Junk-Yard-Near-Me

Coconut milk is a high-calorie food due to its high saturated fat content. Vitamins and minerals abound in milk, but the nutritional value varies depending on the brand. Use a coconut milk base for a Thai-inspired soup and add soup broth, vegetables, and curry powder.

Califia Farms Barista Blend Almond Milk

This product was recommended by Kieran MacRae from Above Average Coffee

The Califia Farms Barista Blend Almond Milk is the only environmentally friendly milk you need if you’re making espresso at home. Foaming non-dairy milks has always been an issue because they just don’t have the same consistency as cows milk. But Califia farms have performed some witch craft that has meant that their almond milk, and their oat milk for that matter, stretch out like cow milk and make beautiful lattes. The almonds are grown right here in the USA not shipped from abroad lowering the carbon footprint, and it’s from a third-generation family farm. It doesn’t get more eco-friendly or ethical than that. Plus it’s got long shelf life so you don’t need to keep it refrigerated and it won’t spoil leading to unnecessary waste. If you’re a coffee lover then this is the only milk choice you need at home.

Unsweetened Milked Hazelnuts

This product was recommended by Lisa Odenweller from Kroma Wellness

All milk alternatives have an impact on the environment but hazelnut milk has the least egregious effect. The crop requires little water, no pesticides and can thrive in harsh conditions. As long as there are checks and balances, hazelnut trees can be grown to add nutrients to the environment rather than taking it away. In fact the Arbor Day Foundation found that hazelnut crops act as a natural biofilter that protects aquatic environments from polluted surface runoff and erosion.

Almond Breeze Dairy Free Almondmilk

This product was recommended by Theola Tinny from VinPit

The best environmentally friendly milk alternative that I use is Almond milk. It has more calcium than cow’s milk and is easy to digest. I just discovered it a year ago, and have been using it ever since; replacing dairy milk in my coffee, cereal and for cooking. I have tried Soy milk before, but it didn’t work very well for me. My biggest complaint about Soy milk is that it doesn’t taste good in hot chocolate or coffee – too watery! Almond milk however tastes great. The one thing I would say about Almond milk is that it doesn’t sweeten as much as other milk, so if you want sweetening in your drinks, then think about Soy milk.

Pacific Foods Ultra Soy Non-Dairy Milk

This product was recommended by Harriet Chan from CocoFinder

Soy milk is the most popular type of plant-based milk, and for good reason. It’s creamy, versatile, and relatively inexpensive. Before oat milk, hemp milk and other non-dairy milk got popular, soy milk was the only vegan milk alternative in most grocery stores. Also, it is low-fat and free of lactose, gluten, and cholesterol. Pacific Foods Ultra Soy is also certified organic and GMO-free. If you’re looking for soy milk that’s as close to dairy milk as possible, Pacific Foods Ultra Soy is the way to go. It’s creamy and rich, with a slightly nutty flavour. It’s also fortified with calcium and vitamin D, making it an excellent choice for those who are looking for a nutrient-rich non-dairy milk alternative.
