The secrets of milk: soy, almond and cow’s milk compared

Soy milk is one of the most popular plant-based alternatives to cow’s milk. Derived from soybeans, it is naturally free of lactose and cholesterol, making it ideal for those with intolerances or who wish to reduce their intake of saturated fats.

Benefits:

• Source of protein: soy milk is rich in protein, essential for building and maintaining muscle mass.
• Rich in fibre: contributes to good digestion and keeps blood sugar levels stable.
• Low in saturated fat: it is perfect for those following a low-fat diet.

Special tip from our bartenders: Try a basic cappuccino with Ginseng and soy milk. The natural sweetness of soy milk marries perfectly with the strong flavor of Ginseng, creating a delicate and comforting drink. Ask it at our bar!

Almond milk is another lactose-free alternative that is gaining popularity due to its slightly sweet flavor and silky mouthfeel. It is obtained from the maceration of almonds and the extraction of their juice.

Benefits:

• Low in calories: it is ideal for those who follow a low-calorie diet or want to control their weight.
• Rich in vitamin E: it is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
• Suitable for vegan and lactose-free diets: it is perfect for those with specific dietary needs.

Special tip from our bartenders: Try a cappuccino with almond milk and cinnamon powder. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your cappuccino for an aromatic and enveloping experience that accentuates the natural flavor of almonds. Try it at La Fenice!

Cow’s milk: the timeless classic Cow’s milk remains the most common choice for those looking for a rich and creamy flavor, especially first thing in the morning. It is available in different variations, from whole milk, which offers a thicker consistency, to skimmed milk, for those who prefer a lighter option.

Benefits:

• Rich in proteins: contributes to muscle growth and maintenance of body mass.
