Are you surprised at how similar they are nutritionally? That's because they are made the same way, with a small amount of soaked nuts, or a lot of water,and vitamin fortification. Certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, or RD,CD, of Whole Health Nutrition says they're not a great source of protein, or so whether you're looking for something comparable to milk,"soy milk is a pretty good choice, as one of the few nondairy milks that has protein, and is normally fortified with vitamin B12 as well." A one-cup serving has 80 calories,four grams of carbs, and seven grams of protein. But whether you're watching your calories and carbs, or almond and cashew milk are good options.
