Nut Milk

I wrote this whole post then hit the escape button on accident so this may be of lower quality than before sorry :(

Cows are responsible for a disproportionate amount of methane and CO2 gasses that contribute to global warming. These being the facts, it is no wonder that more and more of the environmentally conscious are embracing veganism as well. One change you can easily make is the milk you drink! Some of the most common alternatives to traditional cow’s milk are almond, oat, cashew, and rice milks. While these don’t contain as much protein as cow’s milk, they are generally lower in calorie count and better for your overall health. This is particularly true because cows nowadays are often injected with hormones and steroids, which we ingest through the milk. By switching away from cow’s milk, you can avoid this (and keep them out of your childrens’ systems!!). You can also make your own substitution milks, so that it will contain the most basic ingredients, be almost entirely zero waste, and from what I’ve found, it can even be cheaper than what you might purchase in the store. I’ve been drinking almond milk for four months now and I love it! I’ll use my roommate’s regular milk on occasion but I’ve always had trouble drinking cow’s milk straight and now it’s even more true, because I love the taste of almond milk and the cow’s milk now to my palette has a bit of an animal-y taste to it, the same way that goat’s cheese does.
