If you have to drastically reduce dairy for health reasons or are going vegan, then you’ll need to know what dairy-free options you can try.
Most dairy products are filled with fat and cholesterol and may be causing you some ailments caused by a dairy sensitivity. A brief break of dairy will often help to relieve many health conditions. If you eat dairy, eat organic. Organic dairy costs more, but it’s worth it to bypass modern day processing that is used to maximize milk production.
Eating green vegetables, whole grains, and sea vegetables can provide more than enough calcium for you.
Dairy-Free Options
Soy:
Made from the liquid extract of whole soybeans. It has a strong aftertaste and is the most processed of the dairy-free options.
Rice:
Rice milk is made from blending brown rice and water. It contains more carbohydrates than’s cow’s milk and has a lighter taste and texture.
Almond:
Almond milk is made from ground almonds. It is high in natural fats. You can make nut milks with other nuts.
Oat:
Oat milk has a creamy taste that comes from blending cooked oats and water. It’s naturally high in fiber and low in protein.
Coconut:
Coconut milk is a naturally sweet, white liquid made from the meat of a mature coconut. This milk is very rich. It can be used for desserts and making creamy sauces.
