Easy Dairy-Free Recipe Swaps

Swap dairy milk with any plant-based milk. Soy milk has about the same amount of protein as cow and goat milk. Other (lower-protein) options include almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, flax milk, hemp milk, oat milk (make sure it’s certified gluten-free), macadamia milk, and pea milk. Or try making your own using this easy 1-milk dairy-free milk recipe.
Swap cheese with plant-based cheese. If you haven’t tried plant-based cheese in a while, there are some pretty tasty ones available. I really like Miyoko’s Creamery and Kite Hill dairy-free cheeses. (Be sure to read labels to make sure these products are also gluten-free.)
Swap butter with a dairy-free alternative. Extra-virgin olive oil and avocado are two of my favorite heart-healthy butter swaps. I also like Melt Organic and Earth Balance Organic spreads.
Swap yogurt with plant-based yogurt. You have a lot of options when it comes to choosing a plant-based yogurt these days. Choose from coconut milk, cashew milk (Forager), and soy milk versions. (Tip! Plant-based yogurt can be a great way to add more fermented foods to your diet for better health!)
Swap dairy ice cream with plant-based ice cream or sorbet. Ice cream lovers rejoice! You don’t have to give up your favorite treat! Choose from the coconut milk and oat milk versions available in your grocery store. As always, read labels. Just because a product is dairy-free, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s gluten-free too!
