dairy alternative

Oat milk, perhaps

A dairy alternative is a food product designed to replace milk or milk-based foods without using animal dairy.

Soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, and coconut yogurt are common examples.

The category emerged for people with lactose intolerance, milk allergies, or vegan diets, but has expanded to mainstream consumption: I use a dairy alternative in my coffee.
