COCONUT
Pro: It’s a boon for vegans and the lactose-intolerant, because the protein is a little higher than most other milk alternatives (4-5 grams per cup), not risky like soy, says Dr. Lipman, and the flavor is really great.
Con: It’s really high in saturated fat, and calories—450 a cup! So it’s probably not a good choice for daily use if you’re concerned about heart disease, cholesterol, or your waistline.
Flavor and uses: The coconut flavor is divine, and the creamy texture is great for baking, coffee, or tea.
