10. Evaporated Milk:

Evaporated milk is a dairy product which is made to increase the shelf-life of normal cow or buffalo milk. It is prepared by evaporating 60% of the water from fresh milk to obtain thick, unsweetened milk. Because of the creamy consistency, this milk is used for making desserts and toppings. To use it as regular milk, you can simply add the desired amount of water.

11. Sweet Condensed Milk:

Sweet condensed milk is the same as evaporated milk, with 60% of water lost in the evaporation process. However, the difference is that condensed milk has added sugar which makes it a delicious treat. Although not a healthy milk option, sweet condensed milk is widely used in preparing different types of desserts, sweetmeats and toppings.

12. Buttermilk:

Buttermilk is not exactly milk with loads of butter as people think about it. It is prepared by adding cultures to milk, due to which it gets a slightly tangy and acidic taste. The traditional process of preparing buttermilk in countries like India is to churn curd or yoghurt (a solidified form of cultured milk) with some water and separate the cream. The result is a watery liquid that is considered to be very good for our gut health.

13. Flavoured Milk:

Flavored milk is a popular dairy-based beverage prepared by adding flavours, colors and sugar to milk. The product is marketed commercially in the form of bottled or tetra pack drinks. Many people, particularly kids, enjoy having flavored milk as an evening snack or for a quick refreshment. Although it has the same nutritional profile as regular milk, the added sugar and artificial agents may not be beneficial to our health in the long run.

Types of Milk from Plants (Non-Dairy Milk):

14. Almond Milk:

Almond milk is one of the most widely consumed plant-based milk in the world. It is extracted from soaked almonds and has a sweet and nutty taste. This vegan milk offers only 39 calories per serving, making it ideal for weight watchers. It is low in fat content and high in Vitamin E. Commercially sold Almond milk is fortified with Vitamin D and Calcium to support healthy bones. Homemade almond milk might taste better but lacks these two essential nutrients.
