Monisha Ashokan recalls that if she didn't like eating breakfast before dashing off to school, her mother would insist that she have at least a glass of milk.
Ashokan is now a nutritionist and co-founder of NourishMe, a wellness centre in Delhi. She would still recommend a glass of milk for all its nutrition, but with the difference that there are a whole lot of different milks to choose from.
You could have camel milk, goat milk or choose from a range of plant-based milks such as soy and almond if you happen to be lactose. . .
