About this episode

Gone are the days when the only options for your café latte were ‘full-cream’ or ‘skim’!

Plant-based milks, including nut milks, have taken grocery stores and cafes by storm in recent years, as a popular alternative to dairy milk, making up around 7% of all milk consumed in Australia.

But are they healthier, or ‘better’ than cows’ milk? And which plant-based milks are the best?

In this episode, we take a look at the reasons behind the increase in popularity of plant-based milks, discuss their pros and cons, and identify which ones make the best ingredients in curries!
