Soy milk, but there are heaps of brands and flavours. Make sure you try a few brands to see which is your favourite. So Good light and chocolate soy milk are my fave. There is also rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk. Some are good for cooking or baking and some you can drink, make coffee or use on cereal.

Answer 5

Soymilk is great ,unfortunately because of thyroid problems,I was told I can't have soy products. I've not seen any other alternatives in my area.

Answer 6

Silk soymilk...I swear by it! It comes in plain,vanilla or chocolate. My fiance drinks it straight and says it's better than real milk and i'm inclined to agree!! Also there's Rice Dream rice milk, I had it once or twice when I was little so I really don't remember it that well.

Answer 7

Hi!

Soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, rice milk. There are heaps of substitutes for everything.

Don't get me wrong, but you seem to lack a bit of knowlledge regarding vegan diet, i reckon you should research as much as you can, ok?

Best wishes

Answer 8

Soya milk is way healthier than cow milk, as is nut milk and rice rice milk. Most supermarkets now sell them, as well as egg substitutes, so just check your local supermarket. I have been vegan my whole life and my personal favourite is soya milk sweetened with apple juice. If you get soya milk, though, I would suggest getting the sweetened stuff because the non sweetened stuff tastes gross.

Answer 9

soy rice and almond they all taste pretty ok to me and i know vegans that dont even like soy so they try to stick more to rice and almond

Answer 10

Soymilk, rice milk, almond milk.

Answer 11

I use soy milk for baking and cooking.  I really don't drink plant milks anymore, but when I did, I loved Chocolate Silk.

There's also almond milk (a little sweet), rice milk, oat milk, (I tried it once; it's very creamy), and hemp milk (which I didn't care for).  Some vegan cookbooks will even have recipes for nut milks.

Different brands will also taste differnet, so keep trying until you find the type you like best.  And when you buy plant milk for cooking and baking, look for unsweetened, unflavored varieties.

Answer 12

i love target brand organic chocolate soy milk i used to dink it before i became vegan but almond milk or rice milk are good options, try some foods have different versions for people who are lactose intolerante. good luck going vegan is so much harder than i expected.

Answer 13

I love Silk Soy milk, plain for cooking, vanilla for baking and drinking and smoothies

chocolate for dessert or chocolate ice  cream or chocolate recipes (brownies, cake)

you could also drink rice milk or almond milk, I tried rice milk once many years ago and didn't like it and haven't tried it since, but many of my friends love it.

Answer 14

Though not a vegan or even a vegetarian, I'm lactose intolerant so cow milk is out of the question. I LOVE Silk Chocolate soy milk. When it comes to cereal, I use original flavored Almond Breeze. I personally don't like rice milk as it leaves a funny aftertaste and I feel like my mouth is coated in a thin film.

Answer 15

Hi Otepfreak,

given that cow's milk is pure poison for humans - responsible, amongst other "unpleasantness" for:-

60% of all gynaecological problems

40% of all lung and intestinal problems

70%+ of diabetes

98% of all skin problems

etc.!

I would question why you would want an alternative. I have heard that regular small doses of arsenic has similar effects; maybe you'd like to try that.

Personally, I prefer oat drink in my coffee.

Blessed be.
