Why do you have to shake plant based milk box before consumption?

Did you know shaking the plant-based milk carton before consumption was necessary? well, IT IS! with the increasing demand for plant-based milk in the industry it's quite popular and everyone seems to love it. Plant-based milk was originally developed for individuals who were lactose intolerant, but with veganism gaining popularity it has led to huge demands for it. Right now in the market, there are approximately 45 brands of plant-based milk with over 10 types of milk.

For example, soya, coconut, hemp, cashew, hazelnut, almond, etc. But since plant-based milk is naturally low in calcium and vitamins it is fortified with calcium, vitamin D, B2, and B12. Although non-dairy milk is great for people who can't (or decide not to) drink cow's milk, there's one very important step, the simple thing all plant-based milk drinkers should do before they enjoy it. The nutrients settle on the bottom of the carton when stored, hence it is necessary to shake the carton well before consuming to make sure to get all the goodness. Much needed research suggests that plant-based milk when fortified is a good source of calcium compared to cow's milk. Therefore, those who prepare their own plant-based milk at home must be aware that they are missing out on these nutrients and need to make sure they are consuming it in other food sources or supplements. And do not forget to shake shake!
