I have been vegan for a month now and I feel great but i cant find something to put in my cereal instead of milk (stupid I know but I love cereal) can anyone think of some good substitutes?
You have so many options Aoife - soy, rice, oat, almond, hemp, coconut are my favourites. I mix it up for variety and also because I don't like to rely too heavily on one type of plant milk. Have fun trying them all:)
I don't eat cereal, however I love almond milk. I get the unsweetened kind. I even use it in my pumpkin pie.
I second Anne. I used Vanilla almond milk on my cereal - Nature's Gate Maple Crunch Flax. It is DIVINE! * I think I'm allergic to wheat because I feel a little drunk after I eat cereal, so probably switching to rice puffs next*
unsweetened vanilla almond milk! i'm a cereal junkie too! it's great in coffee as well.
Almond milk is the best (as long as you have no nut allergies) milk substitute in my opinion. Its also super easy to make your own fresh, almond milk: http://www.choosingraw.com/recipes/beverages-smoothies-nut-milks-and-juices/classic-almond-milk/
However, the pre-made tetrapacks are often a bit more convenient. I like Whole Foods Organic Unsweetened almond milk the best out of all the brands I've tried. Hemp milk is also a nice substitute, though its a bit more of an acquired taste.
Does anyone know if I can substitute Better Than Milk soymilk powder for regular powdered milk in bread recipes? I dragged the old bread machine out of the basement and my family's been loving it but so many recipes call for powdered milk.
@Patricia- I have used powdered soy milk in my bread machine and have not had a problem with it. Give it a go.
I love almond milk on my cereal too:)
