Got Plant Milk? 16 types of plant milk to improve health and flavor

15—Banana milk

Banana milk is a unique plant-based option that is usually fortified with calcium. It is made with blended bananas and water. It is a dairy-free, nut-free option. And, while it generally isn’t considered a go-to option for regularly adding to hot or iced coffee, it could make a great addition to your coffee smoothies.

What? You haven’t tried coffee smoothies yet?

Coffee smoothies are a great way to expand your repertoire when enjoying your java, and bananas are often used as a thickening agent when doing so.

Banana milk could make a great addition to a powerfully healthy coffee smoothie!

16—Soy milk

Soy milk is another popular alternative to dairy milk. In fact, it was only recently bumped out of second place in popularity of plant-based milk (after almond milk) by oat milk.

The added sugars in soy milk definitely put it at a disadvantage when compared to other plant-based milk options, but as far as adding it to your coffee, you can definitely expect soy milk to provide plenty of character in the aesthetics and texture departments.

The higher levels of protein in soy milk make it closely rival cow’s milk when it comes to making a beautiful airy foam to top your coffee.

Soy milk also has a thick and creamy texture that makes it a nice addition as-is (not frothy or foamy) to both hot and iced coffee.
