Multi-grain milk can be enjoyed straight from a glass, or over breakfast cereals.

Made from soybeans and whole grains, such as oats, triticale, barley, brown rice, and amaranth, multi-grain milk has a light texture and flavor that substitutes well for low-fat or fat-free milk. Multi-grain milk is 100 percent lactose free and suitable for those with dairy sensitivities.
