3. Oat Milk
Like rice milk, oat milk is slightly sweet. It’s on the thin side, so it’s not great for coffee unless you like your coffee a bit dark. For cereal and for cooking, though, this is a great alternative. You can even make your own oat milk at home, if you like!
4. Hemp Milk
Thick and creamy, hemp milk holds up really well in coffee and cooking.
It can have a mild hemp aftertaste, but it’s something you get used to, much like soy milk’s aftertaste. Hemp milk can vary quite a bit from brand to brand. I’ve had friends tell me they can’t stand the stuff while others swear by it. If your first taste of hemp milk doesn’t do it for you, you might look into trying a different brand before giving up.
5. Coconut Milk
For cooking and baking, plain old canned coconut milk is a delicious soy-free dairy alternative. My favorite use for coconut milk is in the ice cream maker.
If you’re looking to lighten your coffee or pour something onto cereal, brands like So Delicious make boxed coconut milk that you can use just like regular milk.
Do you have a favorite non-dairy, soy-free milk that you purchase or make at home? Share away in the comments!

+ add your owngood information. I wish I could find Cashew Milk, sounds good. Thanks for the article and the links, might try making some Oat milk.
I recently started using coconut milk and love it! It's thick enough to make a great gravy or sauce. I just made a vanilla pudding and blueberry pie and it gave the most delicious faint coconut flavor to the pudding.
I've also used oat and almond milks for everything from cereal to quiches and never missed cow's milk or soy.
The rice, almond and coconut milks are good, I change up to get the best price.
U nas przynajmniej oficjalnie soja nie jest GMO i mleko sojowe jest ogólnie dostępne. Ale inne opcje także ciekawe.
Think I'll try making the oat milk. It's got to be cheaper than soy milk. Someplace I have a recipe for rice milk, but rice doesn't last around here long enough to make anything other than dinner out of it!
Thanks
i was thinking of trying soy milk but thanks for the interesting article
