So I just wanted to right a peace about alturnative milks you could use whilst on the palmo / cave man diet.
If you are like my self you need a coffee in the morning and its a must some days. you may be able to drop the sugars but need the milk, and for other things as well not just you tea and coffee but cooking aswell.
I just grab the ones that I could find in all the shops that surround me so if I need I can just pop and get it not have to travel to have to get.
To start there is the almond milk

It wasn't as thick as I thought it would be and tasted less of nut that I imagined. it looked like milk smelt like milk and did the job like milk and best for cooking. NOT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH NUT ALLERGIES

There is a differences, the first is its thicker and taste alot like nut from the off, the colour is a darker brown and is best for your tea or coffee as it looks familiar not so good for cooking as it alters the colour.

Alternative to dairy milk, made from pressed coconut with added calcium Water,Coconut Cream (8%) ,Sugar ,Calcium Phosphate ,Emulsifier (Sucrose Esters of Fatty Acids) ,Sea Salt ,Colour (Beta-Carotene)
I really like this one. It wasn't what i was thinking, I was expecting it to be just like coconut milk as in the type you get in the tin from the fruit its self. but it wasn't it was thiner and wasn't as sweet. It still had q few grains of coconut in it but wasn't over powering.
I found it was great for tea and coffee as it was sweeter just like the suger you had once before. It is also great AND CANT STRESS IT ENOUGH its great to use with your protein shakes. NO GOOD FOR COOKING AS ITS TO SWEET.

A LITTLE BRAKE
DOWN
Soy
Milk is High in Protein: Soymilk is highest in protein.
It’s the only one that’s comparable to cow’s milk, providing between 8 and 11
grams of protein per cup. Soy protein also has beneficial effects on cholesterol levels and may also help keep your bones strong.
On the other hand, soy is a very common
allergen. And, as I talked about in episode #21 (Pros and Cons of Soy) there are a
few reasons that you don’t want to overdo it with soy. I suggest keeping it to
no more than three servings a day. If you eat a lot of other soy-based foods,
you might want to choose a different type of milk.
Hemp Milk is a Good Source of Omega-3 Fats:
Hemp milk is a relative new-comer on the alterna-milk scene. Its big
claim to fame is that it is an excellent source of omega-3 fats. A single serving of hemp
milk provides an entire day’s recommended intake of omega-3 fats. That’s about
four times as much as you’d get in soy milk and six times as much as you’d get
from cow’s milk. It’s not terribly high in protein,
however.
Almond Milk is Lower in Calories:
If you’re counting calories, almond milk tends to
be quite a bit lower in calories and sugar than most of the other non-dairy
milks. It also contains monounsaturated fats, which are the same heart-healthy
fats found in olive oil. Almond milk is fairly low in
protein.
Oat Milk Provides Fiber:
Oat milk offers fiber as well as a moderate amount of protein,
about 4 grams per serving. However, it is on the higher end in terms of sugar
and calories.
Rice Milk is Non-Allergenic: Rice
milk is one you’re least likely to be allergic to. However, it’s the
lowest in protein and tends to be higher in sugar and calories.
And all of the non-dairy milks are vegan and
lactose-free, of course.
