Make Keto Milkshakes at Home with these Recipes
Milk is considered a complete protein, as it contains all nine amino acids responsible for your body’s function. But it’s also high in carbs, hence why some keto dieters choose to swap it for keto milk. Discover in this post, how you can make a keto milkshake delicious, tasty and low in carbs.
Cow’s milk is an excellent dairy product for various reasons. For one, it contains calcium, an essential mineral responsible for maintaining the health of bones and teeth. Being a high source of protein, it aids in muscle growth and repairing body tissue. Furthermore, milk is also a great source of magnesium, zinc, vitamin A, thiamine (B1), vitamin D, B12, and potassium. So how does exchanging it for keto milk affect you?
WHAT IS KETO MILK?
The demand for non-dairy milk has increased tremendously in recent years, and as a result, the market has become saturated with a range of plant-based options. Cow’s milk has long been promoted as one of the greatest sources of proteins, but the reality is that it’s for everyone. Plant-based milk generally contains less fat and carbs making it an ideal substitute for dieters on the keto diet.
Almond milk: one cup (249 g) contains 56 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 8.1 grams of carbs.
Coconut milk: one cup (226 g) contains 445 calories, 48 grams of fat, and 6.4 grams of carbs.
Oat milk: one cup (241 g) contains 130 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 29 grams of carbs
