Compared to 6 years ago, there were more oat milk products (12\nnow, 2 then) and about the same number of rice milks. A new addition was pea\nprotein-based plant milks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice milks have 70-160 calories in\nan 8-ounce serving. In comparison, oat milks have 90-150 calories per serving,\nand pea protein-based milks range between 70 and 160 calories per serving.\nGenerally pea protein-based milk is the highest in protein with 8 or 10 grams\nin 8 ounces; oat milk supplies 2-4 grams of protein per serving while rice milk\nhas a gram or less of protein in a serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the milks we looked at have\nvitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 added although some products are not\nenriched and not all contain all three of these nutrients. If you\u2019re relying on\nplant milks as sources of calcium, vitamin B12, or vitamin D, be sure to check\nthe product label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see detailed information about\neverything from the number of calories to how much vitamin B12 is added, to\nwhich sweeteners are used in many brands of grain milks and pea protein-based\nmilks available in the U.S., go to: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutrition\/milk_alternatives\/grain-and-pea-milks-2019-table.pdf\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutrition\/milk_alternatives\/grain-and-pea-milks-2019-table.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This excerpt from Vegetarian Journal\ndiscusses pea protein-based milks: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/journal\/vj2018issue4\/2018_issue4_nutrition_hotline.php\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/journal\/vj2018issue4\/2018_issue4_nutrition_hotline.php<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be interested in information on soy milks: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutshell\/Guide_to_Soymilks_2019.pdf\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/nutshell\/Guide_to_Soymilks_2019.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to VRG volunteer Bryan Schroeder, RN for collecting product information.
