Three Alternatives to Milk

Milk is essential not only for bone growth but also as a protein supplement. As a fitness professional I recommend my clients to drink milk as their post workout beverage. Those who can not handle plain milk due to its taste or consistency can try three alternatives.






 Here are three alternatives:

1. Almond Milk
• Positives: Has a thicker and nuttier taste which helps compliment cereals.
• Negatives: Majority flavors are high in sugar.
2. Soy Milk
• Positives: Perfect milk replacement for those lactose intolerant and/or vegan.
• Negatives: Slightly lower than normal protein count.
3. Flax Milk
• Positives: Perfect combo with powdered protein and/or shakes due to low calorie intake.
• Negatives: Does not work well as a pre-workout supplement due to low ability to increase energy.
