Soy milk is the go-to alternative to dairy but sadly almost all commercially farmed soybeans come from genetically modified crops making it far from being a healthy alternative. Unfermented soy also disrupts our hormone levels. Another popular alternative, rice milk, offers few nutritional benefits and typically contains many additives to improve its texture. So I stay clear of the stuff.
Then there’s almond milk in all its creamy deliciousness. It’s sweet and subtle tasting and is gentle on the stomach making it a great substitute for cow’s milk for those people who are sensitive to dairy (that’s me). Its mild taste allows for it to be used in sweet and savory dishes alike.
