Peanut milk is a plant milk, which is an alternative to animal milk. It is made with peanuts, water, and sometimes other additional ingredients like salt, sugar, or cinnamon.[citation needed] Peanut milk is high in fat and protein compared to other plant-based milks. This milk is sometimes used by people who identify with lactose intolerance, veganism, or a casein-free diet, as it has no lactose, but includes nutritional benefits like being high in magnesium,[1] Vitamin E,[2] Vitamin B-6,[3] and protein.
In the northern region of Nigeria it is a popular drink known as Groundnut milk.[4]
