THE vegetable milks – or vegetable drinks because it’s not really milk – are very popular lately in the diet and not only by people intolerant to lactose and dairy products such as cow’s milk. They are a delight for tea and latte coffee lovers, but not only! You can also put it in cereals for breakfast, in a smoothie to make it smoother or in a sauce to replace fresh cream in order to lighten it and give it a special flavor. Almond, hazelnut, rice, coconut, oat, soy… There are a multitude of vegetable milks, but all do not provide the same caloric intake. One thing to pay attention to if you consume it regularly and want to lose weight.

Coconut milk, an appetite suppressant vegetable milk
A mixture of coconut pulp and water, coconut milk is the least caloric, but also the least fatty and the least sweet of vegetable milks. This drink has a refreshing taste that is milder than that of the fresh flesh of the nut. It is rich in minerals (iron, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, copper) and fiber, which makes it interesting for health and allows it to promote good intestinal transit. Its fiber content is also useful when you are on a diet because it has a small appetite suppressant effect.
