I drink almond milk myself because of the taste and the price.

I give oat milk to Waits (and drank it myself while we were traveling just for ease – also it is the YUMMIEST) for a few reasons. 1. It’s more than double the calories of almond milk, which that growing and active kiddo really needs. 2. It’s quadruple the protein of other plant milks (except soy, obviously) at 4 grams per cup (almond and others are ~1 gram per cup). 3. It’s so naturally sweet that he loves it even though they don’t add any sugar. It is SO yummy.

I don’t drink it myself because it is significantly more expensive than almond milk.

Coconut milk is healthy too but I don’t love the flavor, especially in coffee. The rest are too expensive (hazelnut, hemp) or yucky (rice) or in the case of soy, I try not to overdo the soy foods.

Hope that helps!

I hope we can find some way to keep our kids brave and strong enough to “tough out” those rough years ahead wherein other kids will judge and bully. I want my sweet girl to stay true to herself, and I have no idea how to help her do that other than to keep telling her how awesome she is. I’m hoping that a solid base of self-confidence will help.
