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.
