Got dairy free milk?

Soy milk is a common dairy free milk alternative found in stores.
Rice milk also is a popular dairy free milk option.
People with dairy allergies or following a casein-free diet, like many autistic children, can't drink cow's milk. But there are dairy free milk alternatives and the variety of options continues to grow. Many people drink soy milk or almond milk. You can easily find these, even at regular supermarkets. Or, order online via Amazon and have a case shipped to your door.
Hemp milk is among the more recent additions to the list of dairy free milk products.
However, soy and nuts also are common allergens, meaning many food allergy sufferers cannot turn to these options. Don't worry, there are other dairy free milk options.

A good one is rice milk, which also are commonly found on store shelves. People intolerant of gluten should know that Imagine Foods' Rice Dream is made using a processDarifree is not commonly found in stores but can be ordered and is another dairy free milk option. that exposes it to gluten. Some people do not react to this, while others say they do.

Another option is Darifree. This is potato-based -- no soy, no rice, no gluten. It's harder to find and comes in a powder. You can order it at the company's website. My younger daughter cannot have rice, so I have used Darifree in recipes.
Coconut milk is among the dairy free milk items sold at low-cost grocers such as Aldi's.



You'll also find a number of other dairy free milk options, including coconut milk, hemp milk and even sunflower seed milk. You'll even find options such as almond milk and coconut milk at discounted prices in stores like Aldi's, which helps save a few bucks if you're following a special food plan.

  1. Now, look for Hemp milk in your local stores. And, in Great Britain, they sell quinoa milk. Not in the US, yet.

    It appears that Rice Dream is now gluten-free. The special diet section of the website states that the Rice Dream non-dairy drinks contain no gluten.

  3. Rice Dream has NOT changed their recipe. They have just started printing their boxes with "gluten free" on them. They don't use gluten ingredients, but the process includes gluten. Some react to it, some don't. There are no regulations on the definition of gluten free so they can print whatever they want on their box. I say, stay away. :)

  5. I recently found a milk that may be tolerated by many lactose/casein sensitive people. After going GF/CF with my son, he was really missing milk. This milk, while manufactured in OH (not sure if they sell anywhere else), is low-heat pasteurized and not homogenized, and therefore it doesn't destroy a lot of the lactase enzymes needed to digest it. It is called Hartzler's. Here is the website page that explains it:

    Hope this helps someone!:)
