Dairy alternatives are becoming increasingly popular with people who prefer to steer clear of dairy products for one reason or another, whether it's because they're lactose-intolerant or have other adverse reactions to milk products.
These days, there are a wide variety of dairy alternatives out there if you're just willing to look. One of my personal favorites is almond milk, which goes really well with cereal but can also be used in milky tea and coffee preparations as well as smoothies.
For those looking to get their buzz on, there are even boozy beverage recipes out there that use dairy alternatives rather than cow's milk.
So if you're not down with dairy, don't sweat it! Whether you're looking for a hot, comforting beverage to warm you up or a chiller alternative for those hot summer days, there's a dairy alternative beverage out there for you.
