It’s a shame goat milk is often overlooked in favor of the moo variety. A study in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis compared the nutritional makeup of cow and goat milk from animals raised under similar conditions and found that the horned version contained more heart-healthy omega-3 fats and the bone-building trio calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
Why?
Goat milk contains a larger amount of solids, which are where the nutrients are found. What’s more, differences in protein structure make goat milk easier to digest than cow milk - good news for those with lactose intolerance.
Sneak it in: Goat milk has a similar tang to soft goat cheese. Use it in smoothies, healthy cereals, quiches, puddings, creamy soups or a mug of hot chocolate.
