Nut Milks?

Postby IslandNana53 » Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:07 am

I have used Almond milk, no sugar added or flavor. But when I was looking through the recommendations for Dr. McDougall's eating plan it advises Soy Milk or Rice Milk. Why no nut milks?

Not sure, but it could be that nut 'milks' have more fat/oil than soy-milk and rice-milk.

The quickly absorbed fat in nut milk is a problem, and ideally nut-milk should remain a 'condiment'.

This is a disappointment for someone like me, who liked to drench my cereal in milk - three parts milk-one part cereal. However i have gotten used to barely wetting my cereal, in water because oat-milk had been hard to find lately. Oat-milk may be more WOE friendly than nut-milk, but will still contain free oat fat, so many suggest making their own oat-milk by powdering oatmeal and dissolving the powder in water to make 'milk'. Either way, the WOE suggests using milk as a condiment (small portions with cereal or for other uses.
