Nutritional values

People who sweat a lot lose minerals. Our cool soured milk mix is not only on the table in no time at all, but with a combination of potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium it also quickly replenishes the mineral losses.

If possible, use a mineral water that contains a particularly high amount of minerals (ideally: more than 200 mg sodium, 100 mg magnesium and 150 mg calcium).

Cyndy from EAT SMARTER's picture
You can use regular, almond or oat milk. Buttermilk is thicker than all of these and has an acidic taste, so you may need to add an extra squeeze of lemon. The consistency will be a little less thick.
 
Can I replace buttermilk with regular milk or almond milk or possibly oat milk?
