Which dairy milk substitute is right for you?

Almond, rice, coconut, soy and oats are all used to make dairy milk substitutes. If you are lactose intolerant, have a milk allergy, or follow a vegan diet then these substitute milks can form an important part of your diet. All are free of lactose, cholesterol and are low in saturated fat but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. Check out my warning watch points for each of them, especially if you plan to use them regularly, or for adolescents who have high calcium needs.
