Milkfat options include whole milk and reduced‑fat 2% milk. Some reduced‑fat products explicitly note they contain less fat per serving than whole milk.
Protein varies by product: several options list about 8 grams per serving, some reduced‑fat dairy milks list 10 grams, and a plant-based chocolate oat milk lists about 5 grams per cup.
Common packaging sizes include 32 fl oz, 48 fl oz, 64 fl oz (half gallon), and 128 fl oz (gallon). Containers include paper/cardboard cartons and plastic bottles or jugs.
Many plant-based milks are labeled "ready to drink." Some note natural settling or separation and advise shaking well before pouring.
The selection includes cow's milk (whole and 2% reduced‑fat) and plant-based milks made from soy, peas, oats, and almonds.
Several dairy milks list added vitamin D (about 15% of the daily value per serving). One reduced‑fat dairy lists 32 mg of DHA omega‑3 per serving. Some plant milks also show added nutrients such as vitamin D and calcium.
Some products are marketed for growing children and highlight added nutrients like DHA, extra protein, and prebiotic fiber. Product text and reviews also mention use for children with dairy, soy, or nut sensitivities.
