For health and ethical reasons, non-dairy alternatives have become so in demand that even coffee places such as Starbucks have struggled to keep them in stock.While these drinks may seem more virtuous than cow’s milk, they can be just as high in calories and carbs, says LA-based dietitian Maye Musk, adding:“I’ve seen almond milks that are just water, sugar and flavouring.” Alpert’s tip: Skip the latte (“It’s mostly milk,” she says). Instead, get a black coffee and add your own oat, nut or soy milk separately.
