What alternatives to milk do vegans drink?

What milk do vegans drink?

Regular milk comes from cows, making it an animal-based product. The vegan diet is one that contains no animal-based products at all, and as such, vegans often use plant-based alternatives to milk instead.

There are many reasons why people choose to be vegan. Whether it’s to do with health and wellbeing, or ethical and environmental considerations, the fact is that there are so many plant-based options to choose from when cooking, baking, eating and drinking whilst following a vegan diet.

Below we’ve compiled a handy guide to our plant-based drink, which you may find helpful if you’re thinking about exploring the vegan diet, or are already doing so.

What Alpro drinks are vegan friendly?

The answer is… all of them! Here at Alpro, we offer a wide range of plant-based drinks, all of which are suitable for the vegan diet. We also don’t believe that anyone should have to compromise on taste, which is why we’ve worked hard to create a range of drinks that are not only vbegan friendly, but that taste delicious and creamy too!

Our range of plant-based drinks includes:

  • Alpro Soya

  • Alpro Oat

  • Alpro Almond

  • Alpro Hazelnut

  • Alpro Coconut

Is Alpro Soya Drink vegan?

Alpro Soya is a 100% plant-based drink. It’s suitable for vegans, and is also naturally gluten and lactose and dairy free. Made from hulled soya beans, and fortified with nutrients including vitamins D, B2 and B12, Alpro Soya is a good source of protein, and low in saturated fats, making it a great addition to a healthy vegan diet (or any diet for that matter).

Smooth in texture, and creamy but subtle in taste, Alpro Soya is also incredibly versatile, and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, or just on its own. Why not try it in our virgin blueberry sour or bread and butter pudding? Alternatively, enjoy a splash in your morning coffee or pour it ice cold over your favourite breakfast cereal.

Other ways to use Alpro Soya include:

That’s another firm yes! Our 100% plant-based Alpro Oat drink is a great option if you’re following a vegan diet. ,

Our tasty oats are the star ingredient here. Sourced in Europe, we grind them and blend them with water, before adding calcium and vitamins D, B2 and in some oat drinks, B12. The result? An oh-so-creamy and delicious drink that works whether you’re making a latte or cooking up a storm (our oat drinks make a mean hot chocolate too).
