I drink cow's milk most of the time. Have soy milk or almond milk occasionally because I find them quite tasty. Cow’s milk is naturally rich in protein, calcium, potassium and B vitamins, vitamin A and D. For plant-based milk, nutritional contents vary depending on the types of milk. Soy milk is the only one that truly compares to cow’s milk in terms of nutrition. Some people drink plant-based milk for its taste or have a lactose intolerance problem.

Soy milk is the most nutritious amongst all plant-based milk.

No. I have ice-cream, and have plenty of cheese on my food; but my roommate never buys milk & I haven't felt like I've needed it (maybe THAT's the reason I always sprinkle Parmesan on my pizza)

@pitstop It's a Chinese dish. Thicken the milk with cornstarch, then deep fried it.

I didn't know that there is no lactose cow's milk. That's good for people with lactose intolerance.

@marguicha I'll check if it's available here. If yes, I'll tell my friends with lactose intolerance.

@Beestring I haven't tried almond milk. The name doesn't appeal to me but I should try it.

For plant-based milk, I find almond milk more tasty.

@JudyEv It depends on whether you like almond.

We stopped having milk. I use to take hot milk mixed with jaggery, nutmeg and turmeric for years but since I got married and my husband hates milk I stopped buying it for myself. We now have tea with milk powder. I buy a small carton sometimes if I’m sick or tired to make a good turmeric milk before my bed. I only like cows milk if I have.

@Beestring Cold plain milk gives me relief from acidity. But I prefer having fresh milk.

Cheese is also diary product. Soy milk is the most nutritious of all plant-based milk.
