About Sweet milk

Sweet milk refers to plain, unfermented milk from cows that has not soured and may contain added sugar for flavor. Originating as a widely consumed staple in dairy-producing regions, sweet milk is used in both cooking and as a beverage in cuisines around the world. It is rich in essential nutrients, including protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin D (if fortified), and vitamin B12. Typically, one cup (240 mL) of regular cow’s milk provides approximately 8 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrates (natural lactose), and 300 mg of calcium, fulfilling about 25% of the recommended daily intake for calcium. Its carbohydrate content can increase with additional sweetening, making it calorie-dense.

Health Benefits

• Supports bone health due to its high calcium content (300 mg per cup).
• Aids in muscle repair and maintenance with 8 grams of complete protein per cup.
• Boosts energy levels with natural lactose, a quick source of carbohydrates.
• Fortified sweet milk provides vitamin D, enhancing calcium absorption and immune health.
• Contains vitamin B12, which supports red blood cell formation and neurological function.

Not suitable for: Vegan, lactose-intolerant, cow's milk protein allergy

Selection and Storage

Store sweet milk in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and consume before the expiration date. Keep it tightly sealed to prevent contamination or absorption of odors.

Can I eat sweet milk on a keto diet?

Sweet milk is not suitable for a keto diet because it contains high levels of carbohydrates, primarily from its natural and added sugars. A single cup can have upwards of 12 grams of sugar and over 11 grams of total carbohydrates, exceeding keto-friendly limits.

What are the health benefits of sweet milk?

Sweet milk provides essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and B vitamins, which support bone health, energy metabolism, and immune function. However, its high sugar content may pose concerns for those monitoring their sugar intake, such as individuals with diabetes or those aiming to manage weight.

What is the recommended serving size of sweet milk?

A typical serving size of sweet milk is 1 cup (240 ml). This portion provides about 150-190 calories, depending on the level of sweetness and fat content, so it's important to factor in your dietary goals and daily calorie needs when consuming sweet milk.

How does sweet milk compare to unsweetened milk?

Sweet milk contains significantly more sugar and carbohydrates compared to unsweetened milk, which only has naturally occurring lactose sugars. Unsweetened milk is a better option for low-carb or low-sugar diets, while sweet milk may be more suitable for those looking for a sweeter taste or energy boost.
