WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Very low carbs: ~0.5g net per 100ml keeps drinks and recipes keto
  • Adds some protein: ~3.3g/100ml (varies by brand)
  • Includes plant omega-3 (ALA) and other unsaturated fats
  • Distinct nutty taste for variety in coffee, tea, and smoothies
  • Complete protein profile (contains all nine essential amino acids), though modest per serving
  • Different nutrient profile than almond/soy—useful rotation option

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Provides ALA omega-3s that may support heart and brain health
  • Contains arginine and magnesium that support vascular function
  • Often a better omega-6:omega-3 balance than many plant milks
  • Naturally lactose- and dairy-free; suitable for many diets
  • Typically fortified versions add calcium/vitamin D (brand-dependent)
  • Low sugar and low glycemic impact when unsweetened
