As a young woman with lactose intolerance, I know a lot about milk, or the appropriate alternatives, of course. There are many, but the most common one, as well as the one I’m least passionate about, is soymilk. I just don’t enjoy the way it tastes; it’s far too thin – similar in consistency to water. I prefer both almond milk and hemp milk. Since almond milk is more common at present, I prefer that one, as it’s simpler to find. You can generally count on it at your local coffee shop. I should be careful claiming that though, as it depends on where you live.

Milk

In my experience you can generally count on the almond milk substitute. Granted, I learned early-on that milk-based foods were not my friend. Therefore, I found substitutes. Nuts, for instance, are a wonderful snack. I particularly love almonds & find it funny that they’ve actually produced an almond “milk”.
