Non-Dairy Milk

Soy Milk – The very famous substitute to milk.

1. Soy Silk (My favorite brand)

Almond Milk – My favorite non dairy milk - delicious!
 
1. Blue Diamond Almond Breeze (My favorite brand) - I especially love the Chocolate Almond Dream and also Vanilla.

Coconut Milk – New in the market, but so delicious.

1. Turtle Mountain So Delicious (My favorite brand)

Hazelnut Milk – This is so delicious. The only reason I don’t have this is because it is high in calories.

1. Pacific Foods (My favorite brand)

They also have several other like Rice Milk, Hemp Milk, Oat Milk but they are not my favorite.
