Boston-based Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health says plant-based milks are all made the same way: nuts, beans, or grains are ground into pulp, strained and combined with water.

However, growing some of these plants and making them into milk requires great quantities of water. Most plant-based milks are low-calorie. On average, though, these milk products cost more than dairy.
