Plant-based milks have become mainstream, and macadamia milk is one of the better options for kidney stone patients. 1 mg oxalate per cup — essentially zero. It's lower in oxalate than almond milk (27 mg) and oat milk (low but slightly higher). The downside: it's lower in protein than cow's milk or soy milk, and the calcium is added (fortified) rather than naturally occurring. Choose versions fortified with calcium — that calcium still helps bind oxalate, even if it's added rather than intrinsic.
