Finding Low-Fat Alternatives To Milk

There are plenty of elements in milk that are great for the human body, but milk has something else that is not great for the human body: a lot of fat! Some poeple choose to avoid milk altogether, and they instead eat other foods that enable them to replace all the protein, vitamins, and calcium found in milk. But if you enjoy milk, you can still get the great stuff found in it by replacing you whole milk with low-fat alternatives.

If you switch to skim milk, you will be able to easily move away from the fat found in milk while still enjoying milk. You will find none of the fat in skim milk that you find in 1%, 2%, and whole milk, but you will still be able to get all the good stuff found in milk. While some people do not care for the taste of skim milk - saying that it tastes too watery - you should try giving it some time. After a while, many people who make the switch to skim milk come to find that they like it even more!

You can also switch away from real milk altogether, and instead go with either soy milk or rice milk as a replacement. Neither of these taste quite the same as real milk, but they are actually even better for you, and some people find that they actually prefer the taste also! And even if you do not care to use soy milk or rice milk in your cereal, you can still use them when you cook or bake something that calls for milk in the recipe.

And of course, the most "low-fat" alternative to milk is to switch away from milk altogether. Many people find that they truly enjoy such foods as cereal without any milk at all, and some people even find that they prefer cereal with such alternatives as apple juice or orange juice. And if you usually put milk in your coffee, consider acclimating yourself to the taste of coffee without anything in it at all.

Even though there is nothing terrible about drinking milk - even whole milk - when it comes right down to it, it is still in your best interests to find the most low-fat alternative possible!
