Milks! Help me out! rice/soy/almond/lactose free??

[surprised]

I use rice milk in everything. It is naturally quite sweet. It works fine as a replacement in baking. I like almond milk, but it's expensive and has added sugar so I don't buy it. You can get rice milk and oat milk in the aisle with the UHT milks. Some supermarkets also have rice milk in the fridges.

You can make your own rice and oat milks, but not a great idea for your DD in particular as they don't have the same added vitamins as the commercial brands. Yes, you could make sure she was getting calcium through other sources, but easier to have it in the milk.

We use organic soy milk from Aldi and the kids enjoy it both as a drink and on their cereal. It's ok for cooking with, although makes sweet white sauce look a little grey so I tend to add blueberries or cocoa powder to it. Not too high in calcium which is an issue but we make sure he (my son who is allergic to cows milk protein) has access to calcium from other sources such as almonds, broccoli and other leafy greens. Coconut milk is also really good, great for curries and soups.

coconut milk is good too.

you can make milk from most nuts
brazil nut milk is pretty good as is hazelnut, best to make your own of those though.

We use rice milk for everything as DD1 was intolerant to oats, but I reckon you could use oat milk and rice milk for most things. I use nuttelex to replace butter in all my baking and everything and I use rice milk for most things, I even make my own sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk using rice milk when I need too.

I would also have both tested by your GP for lactose intolerance!!
