The latest entry into the dairy-free milk category is pea milk, which is made from yellow peas (also known as field peas).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make pea milk, yellow peas are soaked and then ground into a watery paste. The pea milk is then filtered to remove any remaining solids. Pea milk has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and is creamy and white in color, much like cow\u2019s milk. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pea milk contains more protein than many other nondairy milks, but that&#8217;s not the only nutritional advantage it has over other plant-based milks.

This can have a negative impact on the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, pea milk is much more sustainable. Peas are a relatively drought-tolerant crop, so they don&#8217;t require as much water as other plants. They also don&#8217;t require as much land as cows do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, peas are a nitrogen-fixing crop, meaning that they can actually help to improve soil quality.

To make up for this, many brands add vegetable oils to their pea milk products, which can be high in omega-6 fatty acids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess intake of omega-6s has been linked to inflammation, heart disease and other health problems (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3335257\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). For this reason, you may want to choose a pea milk that&#8217;s made with high omega-3 oils like olive oil or flaxseed oil, or have added omega-3s\u2014an anti-inflammatory fatty acid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, even if your brand is made with sunflower oil or another high omega-6 oil, the total amount of fat you\u2019re getting in a glass of pea milk is not that much, and you can balance those omega-6\u2019s (which are also essential fatty acids) with more omega-3\u2019s throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Trigger_Allergic_Reactions\"><\/span><strong>May Trigger Allergic Reactions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though pea milk is generally well-tolerated, it may trigger an allergic reaction in some people. The proteins in peas are similar to the proteins in tree nuts and soy, so if you&#8217;re allergic to these foods, you may also be allergic to pea milk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a known allergy to peas or any other food, avoid pea milk and talk to your doctor before trying it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweetened_Versions_May_Contain_Added_Sugar\"><\/span><strong>Sweetened Versions May Contain Added Sugar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many commercially available pea milks are sweetened with sugar or other sweeteners like cane syrup, agave syrup or brown rice syrup. This can increase the carb and sugar content of these products, so be sure to check the label if you&#8217;re watching your intake of these nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid added sugars, choose an unsweetened version of pea milk or sweeten it yourself with a sugar-free sweetener like stevia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/healthiest-milkshake\/\"><i>The Healthiest Milkshake Ingredients For A Low-Calorie Treat<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Pea_Milk_Nutrition\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32116 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4420-1024x576.png\" alt=\"pea milk nutrition\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4420.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4420-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4420.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4420.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts_On_Pea_Milk_Nutrition_Health_Benefits_And_Side_Effects\"><\/span><strong>Final Thoughts On Pea Milk Nutrition, Health Benefits And Side Effects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pea milk is a dairy-free milk alternative that&#8217;s made from peas.
