1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: The range of plant milks has exploded in supermarkets and

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: indeed our clients love them in general. So today on

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch Product Review, Lean and I thought it

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: was time that we took a closer look at one

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: of your favorites, almond milk. Hi. I'm Dizzey Burrow and

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm Leon Wood, and as two of Australia's leading dieticians,

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: we bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Reviews, a weekly

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: chat on new products and old favorites that you can

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: find in supermarkets. Now, Leanne, I am a plain old

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: skim milk drinker and have been for a long time,

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: but I know that you are much more across plant

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: milks that I have to be honest. My clients go

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: crazy for them, like you know, and there's so many

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: in supermarkets. So when we talked about this today about

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: what we were going to speak about and whether we

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: should concentrate on plant milks or a specific type, we

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: both agreed we really needed to break it down into

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: individual category. So we're going to start with almond, and

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I would say in the near future we'll probably move

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: on to the different varieties. Where do you say you

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: and I think you're more sorry, or do you have

22
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: almond milk as well?

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: No, I can't stand almond milk. I'm really not a

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: fan of almond milk. I must be honest. And occasionally

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: I got a Bristol will mix it up and instead

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: of giving me soy, they'll give me almond, and I

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: say to David, I can't drink this, and I was

28
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: throwed out and I'll go back and reorder. I really

29
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: can't do almond. And I'm like, oh, it doesn't sound terrible.

30
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: I've actually never even had almond milk.

31
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I've got it by accident. A couple of times.

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: I did try it when it was stupid trendy. I'm like, oh,

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: it's low calorie. I like this, and I was like, no, no,

34
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: I can't do it. So I'm a big fan of

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: soy for the protein, for the calcium. I have a

36
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: mild laptoise intolerance. I'm going to say, so I'll use

37
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: you know, a Servi cheese Greek yok at most days,

38
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: like I have dairy. And then when it comes to milk,

39
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: what I put in my teas and coffee is I

40
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: do preferences soy milk because I do like that it

41
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: is fortified with calcium, and it also has protein, so

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: it's very nutritionally similar to skim milk, which we know

43
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: that some of our plant milks are not, so we

44
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: thought we do almond milk today.

45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: No, exactly, and you've chosen three great varieties today. I

46
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: one time got soy milk in my coffee and that

47
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: was the only experience I've ever had, So I'm certainly

48
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: just a plain old skim milk drinker. But I guess

49
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: at some point I really do need to give a

50
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: chance to the good old almond milk. So maybe this

51
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: will spur me to get that done. Anyway, let's kick

52
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: it off on the ones you've chosen, which I have

53
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: to say, you've picked some great ones. So the first

54
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: one will be a brand that is familiar to many

55
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: of our listeners. It is the Nutty Bruce organic unsweetened

56
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: almond plant Milk one leader. It's retailing for six dollars.

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: This one's at Woolly's and I know people love this

58
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: because I hear it regularly being referred to, and I

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: know it's at a lot of coffee shops. I think

60
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: wherein the barwisters are using it, so it must be

61
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: quite a creamy one interesting, organic and unsweetened. Not insignificant price.

62
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: I have to say six dollars that's up there, so

63
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: the ingredients and filtered water, activated, we're not even going

64
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: to go there today. Activated organic almonds at seven percent,

65
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: which is a mix of almonds and water, organic brown ripe,

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: nice and sea salt, so very clear labor which is

67
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: nice for us to see. Four servings per packet. One

68
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty mil will compare per serving, I think

69
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: with milks because generally we look at two fifty mil

70
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: so three twenty two kilodels, so just over eighty calories

71
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: per cup, one point five grams of protein. Now, if

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: we compare that to soy or regular dairy milk, that's normal.

73
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: They've got about eight grams, so that's really low compared

74
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: to a typical soy or cow's milk four point three

75
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: grams of fat. It's one point seven per hundred mils,

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: so still a low fat product, less than one gram saturated,

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: which is what you would expect from a plant based milk.

78
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: It's got eight grams of carbohydrate in total and four

79
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: grams of sugars. Now, it should be noted that some

80
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: milks will contain added sugar. That's not the case in

81
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: this variety, So that will be coming just from the

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: almond blend itself in the rice, I guess, moll the rice,

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I should say, and sodium one oh nine milligrams, which

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: is a little bit of sea salt. Yeah, so a

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: bit of added salt, which is sort of unusual to

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: we don't have that in dairy milk. Now, the standout thing, Leyanne,

87
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: that we're both going to say very quickly is it

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: doesn't resemble milk. There's no calcium nutritionally.

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: Does it? No calcium?

90
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: It's almond water.

91
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: You're paying a lot for expensive water. Let's be honest.

92
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 2: There's seven percent almonds in there. The bulk of that,

93
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: like ninety percent of that is filtered water. You're paying

94
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: six dollars for a liter of organic filtered water. I'm

95
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: not a fan of paying for water, David or No.

96
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: It's one of my biggest gripes, like I hate. I

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: always say it comes free out of the sky. We

98
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: should not be paying for water, and in this case,

99
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: we're paying for very expensive water. So I get that

100
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 2: almond milk is some people's jam, but this would not

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: be my preference due to the there's no fortification. You know,

102
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: there's no calcium, and calcium is such an important nutrient

103
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: for all age groups, and it's very expensive. I know

104
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: some of that cost is because it's organic, and if

105
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: you choose to purchase organic, and if you can afford that,

106
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: that's great. But to me, this is just not something

107
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: that I would ever really recommend at all due to

108
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: the price point and the fact that there's no calcium

109
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: in here either. But I do like that it's unsweetened,

110
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: there's no added sugar in there.

111
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: That is a bonus well as a reference point. When

112
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: I have looked at these before for various articles, some

113
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: will have as long as two point five percent almond.

114
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: Three is pretty standard. The higher ones, to my knowledge,

115
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: are about six. So this is one of the highest

116
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: percentage of almonds in the milks you can find, which

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: is you can indicative of the price and also the

118
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: fact that it's using organic produce, which is always more expensive.

119
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: But I struggle nutritionally because almond milk doesn't contain protein

120
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: in the same way that swey milk does, for example,

121
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: or a legum based milk that you can also find.

122
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: So on top of that, when there is no dietary calcium.

123
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: I have an issue with it as well. It's not

124
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: something that I would recommend. People love the flavor, you know,

125
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: and they like it in their coffee perhaps, and it's

126
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: got a bit of a cult following, but nutritionally, as

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: a dietitian, I'm with you. I wouldn't recommend this brand

128
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: simply because it's not really giving me anything nutritionally. You know,

129
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm getting very few calories. I'm getting you know, no protein,

130
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting no calcium, so I cannot It doesn't do it.

131
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: It's not giving me anything. So my taste good all

132
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: my Natty Bruce fans, but I'm so sorry. We have

133
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: to be honest here on the nutrition Catch product review,

134
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: and it's not one of our favorites.

135
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: The thing that I find interesting is that you're paying

136
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: for the extra alments. But for me, the biggest reason

137
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: that I would choose an almond milk or I would

138
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: use an almond milk with my clients is purely just

139
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: to save calories. Like if I was putting a cup

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: of unsweetened almond milk into a recipe versus a cup

141
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: of full cream milk, I mean I would be looking

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: for an almond milk around that thirty five to forty

143
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: calories per cup. This one is a lot higher, like

144
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: it's sort of around that eighty cows per cup compared

145
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: to you know, it's very similar to skim milk compared

146
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: to full cream would be what sort of one thirty cows.

147
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: So the reason that I would really be using an

148
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: almond milk for clients would be a lot lower calorie.

149
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: But this one, because of the higher percentage of almond,

150
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: is probably about double the calories then most standard almond milks,

151
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: which you're around that sort of as you said, two

152
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: and a half three percent. So for me, one of

153
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: the biggest benefits personally, because I don't think it tastes good.

154
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: It doesn't have added calcium, it doesn't have protein. To me, honestly,

155
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: the biggest benefit besides almond milk being plant based, would

156
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: be that it's traditionally quite low calorie, and that's why

157
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people choose it is for

158
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: weight loss. So this one's double some of the other

159
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: ones on the market. So again this is why I

160
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't be I wouldn't be recommending it because I think

161
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: it is a higher energy product compared to a lot

162
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 2: of others on the market.

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Well, the issue I have with it in recipes is

164
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: it wouldn't do anything because if you use a dairy

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: or even a soy in a recipe, the protein there

166
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: as a binder to a certain extent. But if you

167
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: use an almond milk in a recipe, it's actually just

168
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be really difficult to mix because one of

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: the chemical aspects of baking, for example, is you're looking

170
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: for those different nutrient structures to blend together, and you're

171
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: not going to get that blend from an almond milk

172
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: in general, So you can't sub it in because it's

173
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: not the same thing, which is sometimes why on the

174
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: labels it's spelt differently to milk, because it's actually nutritionally

175
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: not a milk. It's a form of I call it

176
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: almond water. So you won't be able to use it

177
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: in a recipe. It won't have the same role.

178
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: So it'd be good and a smoothie. But it is

179
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: important to note that there is a disclaim on the

180
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: labels saying not suitable as a complete milk replacement for

181
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: children under five, but I would really say that's for

182
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: anybody in all, honestly, under eighteen, like I wouldn't even

183
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: be recommending this for young kids or teenagers because it

184
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: just simply doesn't have anywhere near enough energy, protein, or

185
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 2: calcium in it. Like I wouldn't be I would only

186
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: ever be saying almond milk for adults only. I wouldn't

187
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: be saying it's something that we should be giving to

188
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: kids or even teenagers.

189
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: I do agree, I think it's quite misleading to call

190
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: it milk in general, because it's then assumed it's offering

191
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: those similar nutrient profile, which it's just not all right.

192
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: Well that the next brand is a well known sanitarium

193
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: do some great products in general. This is there so

194
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: good Barista edition, and of course we will as always

195
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: include the images of these products on our social media

196
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: because it's sometimes difficult to differentiate there's so many out there.

197
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: This has got a four health star rate. I don't

198
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: think there was a health star on the Nutty Bruce

199
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Sanitarium a pretty reputable company. They'll give a lot of

200
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: information on label, which is great if we look at

201
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: the ingredients again. Filtered water is the first that three

202
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: percent ground almonds, as I referred to earlier, pretty standard

203
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: for most supermarket almond milks, cane, sugar, corn multied extra

204
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: and so another form of refined carbohydrate a vegetable oil

205
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: sunflower and canola, which is being used to create a

206
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: blended form kind of a milk consistency, but coming from

207
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: a vegetable oil. It does contain some added minerals phosphorus

208
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: and calcium, A multified it again mixed a vegetable gums, antioxidants,

209
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: and some vitamins, including importantly vitamin B twelve and B

210
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: two and B one because you will get naturally vitamin

211
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: B twelven an animal based milk, and so in terms

212
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: of people following a plant based diet nutritionally, this is

213
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: a much better product overall thanks to that fortification. I'll

214
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: again look to per two hundred and fifty mils or

215
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: a cup, so it's got fewer CA series than the

216
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: nutty bruce coming in at ninety Oh no, sorry, the

217
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: nutty bruce was about eighty and this is ninety eight,

218
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: so not dissimilar. Two point one grams of protein, so

219
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: still not overly high. Six point six grams of fat

220
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: and very little saturated fat, so that'll be coming a

221
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: little bit from the almond as well as the oil.

222
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Although that is in small amounts. It's more processing seven

223
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: point one grams of carbohydrate four grams of sugar, so

224
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: again not different. And I think the other thing will

225
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: come back to Leian is that when we're talking about

226
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: plant based milk, people will see the sugars on say

227
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: skim milk or full cream milk, but it's not added sugar.

228
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: It's just naturally occurring from lactose. So the more that

229
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: labels differentiate that the better, because I think it's quite

230
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: misleading when we look at total carbohydrates and sugars in

231
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: dairy milk, people think it's huge, when really it's like

232
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: fruit sugar, it's naturally occurring. In this case, this is

233
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: added sugar as opposed to any lactose, given that it's

234
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: not coming from an animal based food. Has a bit

235
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: of dietary fiber. Interestingly enough, one point two grams sodium

236
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: ninety seven. There's a little bit added sold as well,

237
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: not overly significant, and it's got vitamin B two twenty

238
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: five percent of the recommended intake fifty percent of vitamin

239
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: B twelve, which is not insignificant for vegans and people

240
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: on a plant based diet. Calcium huge two hundred and

241
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: seventy five milligrams thirty percent of recommended intake for some

242
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: members of the population, So again that's a decent dose,

243
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: and some phosphorus which is not sort of that common,

244
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: but you'll see it with calcium often, so they're putting

245
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: it in there now, I would assume ly, and this

246
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: is a more creamy variety of an almond milk. I'm

247
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: like you, I'm going to say I don't like it

248
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: because I don't like added sugar in any of my milks.

249
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: The protein is again quite low. Is it better than

250
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: nutty Bruce? Yes, because it's offering vitamin B twelve and calcium.

251
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: Is it great for someone who's vegan or on a

252
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: plant based diet and they like the flavor. Sure, it's

253
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: a reasonable choice. I'd give it like a six or

254
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: seven out of ten. It wouldn't be my first choice,

255
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: but it's better than a lot of them out there,

256
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: simply because it's got a fortification of a number of nutrients,

257
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: including B twelve, which isn't that common, and also calcium

258
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: in a reasonable dose.

259
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: I like Sanitarium because it's a nice Aussie brand. Ninety

260
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: seven percent of the ingredients are Australian made, which I

261
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: think is nice. It's important. I mean, it's four dollars

262
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: for a liter, so I wouldn't say that it's inexpensive.

263
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: It's certainly better than the Knatty Bruce one, which is

264
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: six dollars for a liter. But this is I specifically

265
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: chose the Barista style one because this is what you're

266
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: getting a lot in terms of coffee shops. And we've

267
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: spoken about this on the podcast before. People would choose

268
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: like an almond milk flat white or an almond milk

269
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: latte because they feel like it's lower calorie. But in reality,

270
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: most of the time it's very similar, if not a

271
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: little bit more than like a skinny latter or a

272
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: skinny flat one without the calcium and without the protein.

273
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: So Baristo style almond milk is generally always higher calorie. Yes,

274
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: it has a better mouthfeel, Yes it's creamier, it's probably

275
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: more I guess, you know, frosthwhire similar to actual milk,

276
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: but it is you know, probably double the calories of

277
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: an unsweetened almond milk. So I chose it for that

278
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: reason that a lot of people pick it because it

279
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: does have a better mouth feel, But I wouldn't say

280
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 2: the ingredient labels clean. You know, there's added sugars in there,

281
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: there's added vegetable oils, there's a couple of a multified

282
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: as antioxidants, that sort of thing. But I do really

283
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: like the addition of the minerals and overall sanitarium and

284
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: so good products are very well fortified. So if you're

285
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: someone following a largely plant based start or a vegan

286
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: style lifestyle, particularly with young kids, this one is a

287
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: really good on because it does have the added edition

288
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: of the bee to the B twelve, the calcium, and

289
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: also the phosphorus. So I like the added edition of

290
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: the nutrients. But I do wish that I mean the

291
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: Bristerstar almond milk is that it tastes good, hence the

292
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 2: addition of the cane sugar, so it has its place.

293
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: If you're looking for a milk that tastes nice, this

294
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: would probably be my preference because it does. I have

295
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 2: actually tried this one and it does have a nice

296
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: mouth feel, and I do really like the addition of

297
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: the minerals, but it's probably not my overall pick, but

298
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: I would sort of put it in mid range and

299
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: I would score it above the nutty Bruce, just like

300
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: you did.

301
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: The reason I really like it is because of the

302
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: B twelve that is so rare in fortification across the board.

303
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: You just don't see it very often, so it can

304
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: be really challenging. But I'm like you, you know, I

305
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: think there's sort of options out there that I would

306
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: choose over that one. But in general, Sanitarium We've got

307
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: an amazing range and other options as well, But I

308
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting to draw people to the fact

309
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: that didn't have some vitamin B twelve in there. All right,

310
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: The third and final arm and milk we're going to

311
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: look at is Vita Soy almond milk unsweetened. Now without

312
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: even having looked at these nutritionals yet, because Leanne has

313
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: put this one together for us and done a very

314
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: good job at that, I might add. What I will

315
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: say is that in my experience looking at these plant

316
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: based milks, Vita Soi are outstanding. In general. They've got

317
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: a fantastic range across the board, and I've been really

318
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: impressed with the profiles that they're putting together with their products.

319
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I'll be interested in the second to see. Well,

320
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: first of all, Leanne, it's far less expensive like we're

321
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: looking at the Natty Bruce six barks for a liter,

322
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: four bucks for the So Good, and this one's only

323
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: two dollars now admittedly it's on sale. It was three dollars,

324
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: but that's significantly less in paying for food at the

325
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: moment when it's so expensive, so that already is ticking

326
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: the box. It also has four health Star ratings, so

327
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: that is similar to the Sanitarium So Good Brister style almond,

328
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: and this is the unsweetened version. If I look at

329
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: the ingredient list, filtered water whole almonds at a minimum

330
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: three point eight percent mineral calcium phosphate, a mulsifier which

331
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: is a sunflower lesison, so that's purely for mixing, a

332
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: processing aid, really a bit of sea salts and natural

333
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: flavored vegetable gum. So out of the three, we're looking

334
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: at a much cleaner the clean list ingredient list put

335
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: two fifty mils serve just fifty calories, so as Leanne

336
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: referred to, the first Natty Bruce had about eighty the

337
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Sanitarium sitting on a ninety, and this is just fifty calories,

338
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: so very low calorie product, low in protein as you

339
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: would expect for an almond milk at one point eight grabs. Admittedly,

340
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: there are some protein varieties of almond milk you can find,

341
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: and they come in still less than ten I don't

342
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: think they're coming in about five six gram per serve,

343
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: so still less than soy and dairy. But this is

344
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: very very low. At one point eight you certainly not

345
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: getting any dietary protein from a plant based milk. In general.

346
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: Four point five grams are fat, very little saturated fat,

347
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: so again just a bit from processing and from the

348
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: original nuts. Very low carbohydrates so less than one gram,

349
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: and very low sugars, so much lower than any of

350
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: the ones we've seen prior. And a little bit of

351
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: dietary fiber not significant. Ninety milligrams of sodium again, but

352
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: then the beautiful three hundred milligrams of calcium, so the

353
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: highest level we've seen, and that's pretty typical of a

354
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: cup of dairy milk. And some vitamin E interestingly enough,

355
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: at two point three milligrams, which is an interesting addition.

356
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: We don't normally get our vitamin D from our milk,

357
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: admittedly we do ideally get it from grains, nuts and seeds.

358
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: I'd love to see some b twelve in there. Love

359
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: that if it was added, but I'm out of the

360
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: ones I would choose or recommend, and I do this

361
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: would be absolutely one on my list, what both for price,

362
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: nutritional profile, and it's just a really good brand who

363
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: do some great varieties of plant based milk.

364
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: I like it the price points. You know, you can't

365
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: go past it two dollars in sale, because it's a

366
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: long left milk. I would probably buy six cans at

367
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: once and then come back in you know, three four

368
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: weeks when it's on sale again and buy another six.

369
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: So I'm a big fan of bog buying, particularly when

370
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: things have really good use by dates, like a long

371
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: left milk. It's ninety nine percent austraight ingredients, so I

372
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: really like to support, you know, Aussies in that way.

373
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: And I think that the calcium profile, you can't go

374
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: past that, particularly if you are following a largely plant

375
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: based diet or you don't have dairy three hundred milligrams,

376
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: Particularly if you have a coffee every day, or perhaps

377
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: even two coffees, or a coffee and a couple of

378
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: cups of tea. You might be getting one to two

379
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 2: cups of this year. You know more than three quarters

380
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: of the way to your required calcium intake for the day.

381
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: So this is definitely my pick at the bunch today.

382
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: So I guess the take home message from both of

383
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: us is to be very clear that plant based milks

384
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: differ widely between the varieties. There's a massive difference between

385
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: soy oat and maceademia in general, they're not all the

386
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: same thing. And now I guess our take home message,

387
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: particularly in the case of almond milk, is that you're

388
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: not getting much protein, but you've got to try and

389
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: choose one with dietary calcium if you can, particularly if

390
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: you're consuming it frequently as your primary source of or

391
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a dairy replacement, and if you can add some little

392
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: extra nutrients in there, that's better. So if you check

393
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: those ingredient lists out and they're pretty clean, you're not

394
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: seeing added sugars, etc. You're probably on a good thing,

395
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: particularly if you're seeing a good dose of calcium. Anything

396
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: else you want to add to the chat on almond milk, clear.

397
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: Really, I think it's just to be aware of where

398
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: the ingredients are coming from. Are they Australia or are

399
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: they overseas? Are the added sugars in it, and is

400
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: it fortified. I think they're probably the three biggest things

401
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: to look for in a plant based milk.

402
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: And if you can get them on sale, stock up

403
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: all right. Well, that brings us to the end of
