Original
Veggemo describes Original as similar to two-percent milk and green-lights it for cooking and baking. Veggemo Original has the lowest amount of protein (six grams in a one-cup serving) of the milks surveyed but a good diversity of added vitamins and minerals. It’s fairly sweet and creamier than many nut milks. Find it in shelf-stable quarts in supermarkets.

It’s smooth and similar to cow’s milk in the body, making this an excellent flavored milk for new non-dairy milk drinkers.

Suja
Original
When it comes to protein, Suja takes the cake at 16 grams per eight-ounce serving. It’s organic, kosher and gluten, soy, nut, carrageenan and artificial flavor-free. Not particularly dairy-like in flavor, Suja Original has been called chalky but nevertheless enjoyable in smoothies.
Ingredients: Water, Organic Pea Protein, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Sunflower Seed Butter, Organic Flax Seeds, Organic Acacia Fiber, Organic Vanilla Extract, Calcium Phosphate, Gellan Gum, Vegan Vitamin D2 (Botanical Agaricus Bisporus).
Unsweetened
The chalkiness may be extra noticeable without the sweetness of Suja Original. You might try using a non-sugar sweetener to mitigate this.

Chocolate
We’re sensing a trend with chocolate pea protein milks. Could be that pea protein holds a chocolate flavor better than many other plant-based milk ingredients…
