1. Soy Milk: The Classic All-Rounder A versatile choice with a neutral taste, not my preference due to hormone imbalances however it’s an option to explore.
2. Almond Milk: Nutty Elegance Most common, almond milk’s subtle nutty flavor makes it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes, from smoothies to curries. Purchase the Original with no sweetener. If I am going to use an alternative creamy option, I am going to choose the purest form withOUT added banana, coconut, or vanilla flavoring etc. When you read the label you want to make sure you can pronounce each ingredient as you would read a book title and understand the meaning. No guessing games here!

4. Coconut Milk: Tropical Indulgence Derived from coconut flesh, coconut milk brings a distinct taste to a hot cocoa with natural sweetness.
5. Cashew Milk: Luxurious Creaminess Luxurious creaminess, cashew milk is excellent for creamy sauces, dressings, and desserts. If you notice flushed skin after consuming cashews or itchy skin or joint stiffness – these symptoms could be related to food choices you are making. Start to keep a journal as to your symptoms that bother you and try to find synchronicities.
6. Rice Milk: Light and Refreshing Milled rice produces a light and refreshing rice milk, perfect for desserts and baked goods, though its thinner consistency but is tolerable for many.
