WHY DRINK UNSWEETENED

Sugar, like anything, is a moderation exercise. What is “moderation”? There is no exact rule. It depends on your diet and personal goals. However, reasons for switching from sweetened to unsweetened plant milk follow the pattern of research. Substantially reducing added sugar intake – especially of added and refined types – may help with cardiovascular health and to manage weight gain, for example.1,2

If you still prefer our standard varieties, that’s fine, too! No original Elmhurst grain or nut milk contains more than 6g added sugar per serving.

• -Original Milked Cashews – 1g added sugar (2% DV)
• -Original Milked Oats – 1g added sugar (2% DV)

It's more than just nutritional data, however. For non-drinking applications – like coffee, cereal, smoothies, cooking, and baking – our unsweetened varieties offer both flexibility to control sugar levels and neutrality that cooperates with other flavors.
