Vegan 'Milk'

Many people may ask you about milk when you become vegan. However, there are some good milk replacements you can use daily or in recipes that call for milk. Luckily, these are readily available in almost all grocery stores so you won't need to go to a specialty shop. Also, if you are cooking for non-vegans they can't tell the difference if you used cow's milk or not.

You can choose from soy milk, rice milk, almond milk and some people use coconut milk. There may be some issues that can result from introducing too much soy into your diet so do your own research and some trial and error on what works for your body. Personally, I did have some issues from too much soy I think so I am switching back to almond milk since I finished up my soy milk. If you are looking for try soy milk I recommend silk. I never really drank milk for several years because I realized I was lactose intolerant so it made me feel terrible, but when I did have milk it was only in cereal and I really didn't know what to do as a teen because I didn't know about other types of milk that wouldn't make me sick so I just suffered through it. Anyway, my personal favorite is almond breeze. I usually get vanilla or unsweetened to add to my cereal or use in baking.

Also, you don't have to be vegan to enjoy these milk replacements. People with dairy allergies or lactose intolerance can enjoy them. Also, you may look for some of these in the baking area of your store, not all of them require refrigeration until after you open them.
