Mylk Havre & Mandel
Summary
This plant-based milk alternative contains beneficial ingredients like oats and almonds, which provide fiber and healthy fats. However, the inclusion of sunflower lecithin, a processed emulsifier, and the product's processed nature limit its overall healthiness. The beverage is relatively low in sugar and salt, but the presence of a seed oil derivative and its processing level prevent a higher score.
