Which plant milk should you pick?

Short answer

For daily use, choose one fortified with calcium (often B12/D too). Soy has the most protein; oat is mild; almond can be low-energy. It is a tool, not a moral test.

BDA treats fortified plant drinks as a milk stand-in. Soy protein is complete; oat and almond are not 1:1 protein swaps.

Barista editions are for foam, not extra vitamins. For children, this is a paediatric decision.
