Plant-Based Milk perfect for those who opt for non-cow milk or those seeking diverse options, because they are made from a variety of dry legumes (soybeans, lentils), nuts (almonds, pistachios), and grains (oats, rice) to create alternative beverages.

In Thailand, the market is buzzing with a variety of plant-based milk brands and flavors. Nutritional content varies, ensuring you get your essential nutrients like complete proteins and calcium. Unveil the secret to a low-sugar, nutrient-rich lifestyle by deciphering the nutrition labels and GDA (Guideline Daily Amount) guidelines.
