The market for dairy substitutes is expanding rapidly as customers turn to other plant-based drinks and due to worries about their impact on the environment, animals' welfare and health, more individuals are switching to vegan drinks. Plant-based milk comes in a variety of forms and each one has a distinct calorie count or protein content. A and D, B-complex vitamins, calcium and sometimes DHA omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics are added as supplements. A variety of plant-based milk provides a means for people to acquire some of the beneficial nutrients present in dairy milk even if they have milk allergies or lactose intolerance. In an interview with Zarafshan Shiraz, Chef Megha Jhunjhunwala, Founder of Hearth&i, insisted that during the season, you should try the vegan beverages whether you fall into one of the aforementioned groups or simply enjoy tasting new drinks. She said, “You may try several nutritious drinks to remain hydrated and feel refreshed if you are health-conscious and eating a vegan diet. These beverages are devoid of dairy, hydrating, filling, loaded with the benefits of fruits and filled with other energetic nutrients. They are also fantastic for those who cannot tolerate lactose.” She recommended five vegan beverages created at home that you must try: (Chef Megha Jhunjhunwala)
