59% of consumers of any nut- or cereal-based beverages were females and 41% were males. In the 2011-12 NNPAS, respondents were also asked if they avoided any foods for any reason. Of the nut- and cereal-based beverages consumers, 36% reported avoiding milk/dairy cow’s due to allergy or intolerance (despite this, 25% of these avoiders actually reported consuming some form of plain fluid milk). None of the consumers of nut- or cereal-based beverages said they avoided dairy due to religious or cultural reasons. In the 2011-12 NNPAS, most cereal- or nut-based beverage consumers (78%) consumed the beverage once per day. Twenty-two (22%) percent of consumers had more than one eating occasion in the day, with the highest number of eating occasions of any one of the identified products being 4 times over the day. Of the or nut-based beverage consumers, approximately 5% also consumed soy-beverages. No respondents consumed more than one of the cereal- or nut-based product types listed in Table 2 on Day 1. For consumers only, mean consumption of plain fluid milks, plain soy-based beverages and other plain plant-based milk substitutes (only cereal- and nut-based products were consumed) appeared to be in the same range, at around 130–400 grams/day (see Figure 1, Figure 2 and Table A1.3 in Appendix 1), with children generally consuming more than adults or the general population.
