Pro Tips & Cooking Tricks

1

Full-fat coconut milk substitutes heavy cream beautifully - shaken canned works best for richness

2

Nutritional yeast adds cheesy flavor to sauces - blend with cashews and garlic for dairy-free parmesan

3

Read labels on non-dairy products - some contain casein or whey (milk proteins) despite being lactose-free

4

Oat milk is best for coffee - does not curdle like almond milk and has creamy, neutral flavor

5

Cashews are dairy-free magic - soaked and blended, they create cream sauces, cheeses, and desserts

6

Earth Balance and Miyokos make excellent butter substitutes - use 1:1 in baking and cooking

Frequently Asked Questions

Almond milk (light, neutral), oat milk (creamy, great in coffee), coconut milk (rich for cooking), soy milk (high protein), and cashew milk (creamy for sauces). Choose based on use - oat for coffee, coconut for curries, almond for cereal.
