Comparing Soy and Almond Milk
When it comes to deciding which type of milk to use, soy milk and almond milk are two of the most popular options. They both have their own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it can be a tough decision to make. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the differences between soy and almond milk so that you can make an informed decision about which one is best for you.
Calorie Content
The amount of calories in each type of milk varies depending on the brand. Generally speaking, however, almond milk tends to be lower in calories than soy milk. A cup of unsweetened almond milk typically has around 30-50 calories while unsweetened soy milk has around 90-100 calories per cup. If you're looking for a low calorie option, almond milk may be a better choice.
Nutrition
When it comes to nutrition, both types of milks are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, vitamin D, B12, and iron. However, soy milk tends to contain more protein than almond milk - approximately 7 grams per cup compared to 1 gram per cup for almond milk. This makes soy milk the better choice if you're looking for an alternative source of protein in your diet.
Taste
The taste of each type of plant-based milks varies from person to person but generally speaking, almondmilk is known for being milder and sweeter than soy milk which tends to have a slightly nutty flavor. If you prefer something milder or sweeter then almondmilk may be the better choice for you.
Both soy and almondmilk are great alternatives to dairy milks but they each have their own unique benefits and drawbacks when it comes to nutrition content, calorie content, and taste preferences. Ultimately it comes down to personal preference so it's important that you try out different types before making a decision about which one is best for you!
