How many times have you avoided having a delicious smoothie because you are lactose intolerant? Fortunately, there are now alternative drinks that are not only nutritious but also lactose-free, adding a delightful touch to all your preparations. Forget about saying no to that smoothie!
Lactose is the sugar found in milk and makes up about 4 to 5% of its composition. Generally, humans have an enzyme that allows us to absorb this compound. The enzyme responsible for this function is called
lactase, and its deficiency can lead to lactose not being properly assimilated, resulting in the well-known lactose intolerance.
Fortunately, even though lactose is present in many foods, more and more healthy alternatives are emerging. One of the most common is almond milk, which is plant-based and provides a significant amount of fiber and protein. Ideal for consuming on its own or including it in various food preparations.
It's worth mentioning that flavor is not its only attribute; its properties are numerous as almonds have high levels of soluble fiber and iron, and their protein content is comparable to that of meat. But that's not all; due to their high presence of oleic and linoleic acids, they help in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Still not convinced? We invite you to try this alternative and see for yourself.
The foundation of a healthy life begins with a balanced diet, and why not? Delicious at the same time. Silk contains 50% more calcium and fewer calories than whole cow's milk, plus it has no added sugars or saturated fats, and is free from artificial colors and flavors. What are you waiting for? Say Silk to feeling better!
