3. Walnut milk original

The health factor: According to some studies, walnuts are believed to reduce unhealthy levels of cholesterol and improve your body’s metabolism. Their anti-inflammatory properties are also helpful for those with sensitive stomachs and indigestion. Sweetened with organic coconut flower nectar instead of cane or processed sugar, this drink remains healthy even though it tastes like a treat.
 
The drink: The walnut taste is completely obvious and results in a roasted flavor that makes the drink decadent and rich. While flavorful on its own, this could also make for a nice addition to your ordinary cup of coffee.
 

4. walnut milk with Matcha green tea latte

The health factor: Loaded with healthy fatty acids from walnuts and antioxidants from matcha, this drink is good for both your heart and your mind.

Certain studies have also shown both of these ingredients have anti-cancer properties.

3 reasons you should start drinking nut milk

  • Perfect for those who are lactose-intolerant, nut milk lets you enjoy the things you thought you’d have to give up. Almond milk and cookies, anyone? 
  • Unlike soy or dairy milk, nut milks have no added hormones or high levels of estrogen. In fact, nut milks are mostly made up of healthy fats and vitamins.
  • As long as the added sugar is low, nut milks are lower in calories than their dairy counterparts.

Still Thirsty?

Almond milk, the more traditional dairy alternative, is also a part of 137 Degrees' lineup of healthy beverages. The original almond milk is lightly sweetened with their signature coconut flower nectar, while their unsweetened version showcases the nutty flavor of the almonds. Their coffee latte is made with dark roasted beans and makes for a good low-cal alternative to other grab-n-go caffeine drinks. Drink it fresh or put a new spin on your favorite dishes like tom yum kung or creamy pumpkin soup—it's a great substitute for dairy and coconut milk. Almonds have some of the most extensive health benefits in the nut family. Packed with protein, magnesium and Vitamin E, they can reduce blood sugar levels, cholesterol and blood pressure.
