Traditional soybean milk can occupy half of the "battlefield" of plant protein drinks.

However, the rising star oatmeal milk can be said that Starbucks won the market on its own. Due to the large demand for oatmeal milk, after a series of oatmeal drinks were launched, some stores even ran out of stock.

Moreover, in the new tea beverage market, coconut milk is widely used, and some shops are characterized by plant milk base.

They are all plant milk, oat milk, coconut milk and soybean milk ... What's the difference? Which is more nutritious and healthy?

Oat milk is not milk, but oats are turned into oat pulp by adding water, and then the color becomes "milk" through a special enzyme action, and the taste is similar to milk.

Oat milk is rich in oat polysaccharide and dietary fiber. From the health point of view, it has the characteristics of no cholesterol, low fat and low calorie, and can enhance satiety.

The flavor of oat milk is generally light, mainly the taste of cereal. The sweetness only comes from oat itself, which does not grab the taste, and it is not easy to usurp the host's role in the use of drinks. It is more common to replace the milk in the coffee latte with oatmeal milk. If it is used as tea, it has certain adaptation requirements for the types of tea cups, such as Wuliang tea.

Coconut milk is made by crushing coconut meat, mixing it with water, and then filtering out milky white liquid. In fact, it is not "milk".

Look at these liquids related to coconuts:

Like coconut milk, coconut milk has different names; The clear liquid in coconut is called coconut juice; The thick pulp obtained by squeezing coconut juice without adding water is coconut milk; If mixed with milk, it is coconut milk.

Coconut milk used to be drunk directly, but it has emerged in the application of new tea drinks in recent two years. Coconut milk is the main material, which has strong applicability: it can be directly mixed with fruit or fruit tea, instead of milk, or mixed with milk. Can also be used as accessories, such as coconut milk, coconut fruit and so on.

Soymilk is the most common plant milk, but its price is lower than before.

The most common way to make soybean milk is to add water to soybean and then filter it. The raw materials are cheap, the process is simple, and there is nothing attractive. But nutritionally speaking, the proportion of amino acids in soybean protein is closest to the proportion needed by human body, which is more conducive to human absorption. It is a plant milk with high cost performance.

But it may be because its taste is too outstanding, so soybean milk is not common in new tea drinks. Soymilk ice cream and soy milk tea have appeared before. Two years ago, Naixue and Vitasoy introduced soybean milk tea, which caused a wave of vegetable protein drinks. In addition, plant milk also includes almonds, walnuts, cashews and other liquids extracted by extrusion, but they are not dairy products, mainly because their shapes and tastes are similar to milk, so people call them so.

For vegetarians or lactose intolerant people, plant milk is undoubtedly a good substitute. But if you have to compare who is good and who is bad, it is better to use a wallet and a backpack. Actually, it's hard to judge.

The appearance of vegetable milk provides more choices to meet the diversified dietary needs of consumers, which helps brands to play more tricks and innovate more novel products, which is also the most meaningful thing in this industry at present.
