Unsweetened Flaxmilk – the unsweetened version of both brands is perfect for baking and/or as a base to milkshakes and smoothies. It is versatile because it can also be added to savoury and sweet cooking recipes, due to its neutral flavour.
Flaxseed milk presents numerous health benefits:
unlike cow’s milk, flax milk contains no cholesterol or lactose, making it healthier for your heart
flax milk also contains omega-3 fatty acids from the cold-pressed flax oil, that has been shown to help prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease and strokes
it is naturally lactose free, as well as being completely void of cholesterol
flax milks are fortified with minerals and vitamins, including vitamins A, B12 and D, as well as calcium, which equals the nutritional value of other milk alternatives
low in calories
flax milk contains no saturated or trans fat
alternative for those who are allergic to soy
in addition to being soy-free, flax milk is free from the top eight allergens (from ingredients) including gluten
it is creamier than a lot of other milk alternatives
