“Got (dairy-free) milk? If you’re looking for a dairy-free alternative to cow’s milk, you’re in luck: the number of nondairy ‘milks’ on store shelves is booming…

Cashew Milk
Creamier than cow’s milk, but with a sweetness that cashews are known for, this newcomer is like almond milk – low in calories and carbs…

Soy Milk
A good swap for cow’s milk thanks to its slight sweetness and respectable protein content. The amount of protein also makes this the best of the plant-based milks for baking and cooking…

Rice Milk
Similar in texture to skim milk, with a subtle flavor hint of rice. Per Consumer Reports, limit how much you drink as rice contains arsenic (a natural element that may raise risk of heart disease and some cancers)…

Coconut Milk Beverage
This naturally sweet, unobtrusively coconutty drink is lighter than its canned cousin…

Oat Milk
Thicker than rice or almond milks and its mild cereal-like flavor won’t overwhelm your food…

Almond Milk
This not-surprisingly nutty-tasting milk is ideal if you’re trying to limit carbs and calories. Like rice milk, it has a light texture…

Hemp Milk
Don’t be put off by its fat content – it’s mostly heart healthy and includes omega-3s. It has a fresh grassy flavor, similar to sunflower or pumpkin seeds.”
