World Plant Milk Day is celebrated worldwide on the 22nd of August. This day commemorates the significance of plant-based milk and why we have to make a switch from dairy. Plant-based milk is obtained from the plant sources like grains, nuts, barley, maize, oats, coconut, rice and so on. There are plenty of varieties of plant milk like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk and so on. This day was founded by Robbie Lockie, co-founder of plant-based news. This day is a carnival for all the gems who are shifted to vegan milk and have quit dairy.
Why is World Plant Milk Day Celebrated?
Robbie Lockie, co-founder of plant-based news along with Klaus Mitchell another co-founder of plant-based news. They have turned themselves into vegans and wanted to spread awareness about veganism and its benefits. The spreading of myths about emerging veganism had made them step in and take responsibility to provide authentic information about veganism. That’s all how plant-based news started. In 2018 plant-based news partnered with pro veg and commemorated World Plant Milk Day.
What’s the Significance of Plant-Based Milk?
Plant-based milk is thriving and booming in the market with its new flavours and huge varieties. For every taste, there is one flavour. It’s also predicted that in the upcoming decades, vegan milk can replace the dairy milk industry. Plant milk has become popular because:-
- Lactose-free
- Dairy-free
- Vegan
- Tastier
- Healthier
- Eco friendly
- Less carbon footprint
- Less land and water usage
- Animal cruelty-free
- Suitable for everyone who can’t take dairy milk due to some allergies or intolerances.
