Arch at Home Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What is your favorite non-dairy mild sub? My niece (16 yo) is considering going dairy free. She is big into cereal in the morning. We have only had plain rice milks and I say that it takes a while to get used them. Do the nut milks taste better? Do they work for protein combining?

Jumping In Puddles Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Almond milk is really good and so is Oat milk. My favorite of all is Organic EdenBlend Rice and Soy Milk. It is so delicious! link Edited September 30, 2008 by Jumping In Puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think soy milk is the best substitute, but I don't want my daughter drinking a lot of soy. The chocolate rice milk is much better than the plain or vanilla in my opinion. Another substitute I really like is Vance's Darifree. You can buy it at http://www.allergygrocer.com. Make sure you get the pitcher they recommend if you purchase this. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I personally prefer soy milk. Just had some with my morning cereal in fact:) Dd prefers rice milk and I prefer that for her. I am not sure where I stand on the estrogen in soy milk connection. I have read convincing arguments on both sides. Chocolate almond milk is absolutely unbelievable! My girlfriend's family - who is totally dairy/casein free - use only Goat's milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 My kids love rice milk -- especially the vanilla, which is very sweet. It's great on cereal!! We can't use soy milk as I'm allergic to soy, and so are two of my children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 If you want to use non-dairy milk as a protein source, then soy milk would be the best choice. Fortified soy milk has calcium and vitamins added. I think plain tastes fine on cereal, and vanilla is good for drinking. Other types of milk (nut, oat, rice) do not have much protein. I have just been experimenting with these and so far I like hazelnut milk on cereal, and (heated) chocolate almond milk for drinking.
