WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Very low carbs: ~0.5g net per 100ml fits strict keto macros
  • Higher protein than most plant milks (~3.6g/100ml) to support lean mass
  • Near-complete amino profile (lower in methionine)—pair with eggs/dairy/nuts for balance
  • Versatile base for coffee, shakes, and cooking
  • Sustainable choice relative to many dairy/plant options
  • Good macro balance vs. oat/rice milks which are higher in carbs

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Plant protein supports satiety and muscle maintenance
  • Often fortified with calcium, vitamin D (and sometimes B12)—check labels
  • Dairy-free and lactose-free option for those with intolerance
  • Typically low in saturated fat for a heart-conscious fat profile
  • May provide non-heme iron (brand-dependent fortification)
  • Smooth texture can improve acceptance of higher-protein shakes
