Which milk are you currently drinking (if any) and do you think this video will impact your choice going forward?
We'd love to hear your thoughts :)
Thanks for watching!

Please do a comparison of main stream "eco-friendly" alternatives! i.e. plastic vs reusable straws and bags. I'm always curious about the energy consumption during the process of making those reusable materials and if they're actually better for the environment in the end.

it's so stressful yet so calming waking up to milk my almonds

[lesho]

And I'm just in the period of choosing a new kind of milk for my morning cereal due to being lactose intolerant, so thanks for the info 😊

Hey, I'm afraid you never drank coconut milk straight out of a coconut for this is not possible xD
Coconut water, yes

[Artofizanagi]

Oat milk also tastes good af. Is like a dessert.

[scatterbrainednerd]

More videos like this, please! I'm always overwhelmed by the options on the shelves at grocery stores (or any store, honestly), and this is a massive help

As a coconut milk drinker I was a bit disappointed not to see its metrics in the chart! No worries though, good video as always :-)

The problem in my country is that plant based milks are sooo expensive even for the middle class.

To elaborate on the point about bees and almonds: the bees are shipped to California from across the United States each year while the almond trees are in bloom. This practice started when California's almond orchards were no where near as massive as they are now, but they currently require billions of honey bees to pollinate them each year. There seems to be some contradicting information on the effect that this has on bees, but I've read that it can take weeks or months for hives to recover after being being shipped back (and not all do recover), and that movement and changing directions of the trucks disorients the bees while they're being shipped.

3:25 Coconut water and milk are often confused because they're both popular coconut beverages. However, they're two distinct drinks, as coconut water occurs naturally within the fruit, whereas coconut milk is a processed beverage

After trying Hazelnut milk I don’t think I’m ever going back to cow milk ... hazelnut is freaking delicious

[Keallei]

3:38 you didn’t drink milk out of a coconut I think. The liquid that comes out of a coconut is sometimes called “coconut water”. The Milk is ground coconut flesh mixed with water and squeezed. The stuff that comes out of just squeezed ground is coconut cream. Mix it with water and you have coconut milk. The dry stuff is then made into coconut flour.

4:54 Filberts are marketed as hazelnuts.

Edit: for clarity between coconut milk and cream.

Fun fact: *almond milk is called almond milk milk because men can’t keep a straight face when saying “nut juice”*

Soy has always been my favorite. Can’t beat that protein. Oat is a close 2nd for me in taste.

[IntoBlackHouse]

For nutrition: soy
For best environmental impact: oat
