More than 60 percent of natural food shoppers use an alternative, nondairy milk, according to a recent study from the Nutrition Business Journal. And with good reason: They’re free of hard-to-digest lactose and offer a host of other health benefits. Here, Lisa Musician, RD, LDN, of Food Allergy Dietitian, Inc., helps us analyze the options.

Almond milk, unsweetened

Nutrition perks: Has about 60 calories per cup, compared to 100 for 1% cows milk
