Bolthouse Farms Plant Protein Milk Review

Bolthouse Farms may not be a name you're familiar with, but it should be if you use alternative dairy products. Established in 1915 when The Bolthouse family started farming carrots they have grown all the way to California's Central Valley. There belief is to make better soil health choices, which is why they use compost to better the soil. Bolthouse Farms also makes it a priority to reduce food waste by using all of the carrot. They also have a strong belief in renewable energy. Bolthouse Farms carries many products from beverages (cafe, fruit, milk, veggie, etc) to dressings and of course carrots.

Bolthouse Farms Plant Protein Milk

Bolthouse Farms is probably best known for their juices and salad dressing, but they just launched into plant protein milk this Fall. Unlike the other non-dairy milks this one is made of pea protein. It provides 50% more calcium than dairy milk with 10 grams of protein per serving. It's also vegan, non-gmo, and free of dairy, lactose, nuts, soy, or gluten. They offer an original flavor, vanilla, unsweetened, and milk chocolate. For more nutritional information of each milk you can click here.

Bolthouse Farms Milk Chocolate Review

After seeing what options were available to me I went with the milk chocolate option. My son can't have any dairy and he is always so upset when his sister gets chocolate milk, but he can't have any. I thought this might be a good thing for him to try. I haven't been able to drink regular cows milk for close to five years and I am always on the lookout for dairy-free alternatives to try.

I wasn't completely sure how this was going to taste being a pea protein, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is creamier then cow and almond chocolate milk. I also find the flavor to be a little richer then cow and almond chocolate milk. It has a smooth texture and doesn't have a bad after taste. My son loves it and hasn't had an issue with drinking it. He is just happy that he gets to have chocolate milk like his big sister. I will definitely be adding this to our grocery list.
