dairy alternatives

Oat, almond, soy

Dairy alternatives are food products that substitute for milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and other items traditionally made from animal milk.

These substitutes are typically plant-based—made from soy, oats, almonds, coconut, or cashews: I switched to oat milk and other dairy alternatives when I went vegan.

The category has expanded rapidly as more people avoid dairy for health, environmental, or ethical reasons.
