Non-dairy "milks," like Amazake and Rice Dream rice milks and Edensoy, Westbrae, and White Wave Silk soy milks, can be used in place of cow's milk on cereal, in baked goods and sauces, and even in "milkshakes." Many varieties of soymilk are fortified with calcium and other nutrients, and some are low fat. Soy-based cheeses such as Vegan Rella Mexican and Italian styles are terrific on pizzas or grilled "cheese" sandwiches. For an easy lunch, try topping a bagel with Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, or grab a cup of White Wave's Dairyless Soy Yogurt. When the urge for ice cream hits, reach for a pint of Soy Delicious, Tofutti, Rice Dream, or Sweet Nothings frozen desserts. Other dairy-free desserts include Tropical Source candy bars and Imagine pudding snacks.

Instead of
|
|
Butter
|
Sauté in water or vegetable broth, use lemon for dressing, or switch to vegetable margarines and oils. |
|
Ice Cream
|

Try frozen desserts like Soy Delicious, Tofutti, Rice Dream, fruit sorbets, and ices. You'll never want to go back to the cholesterol and saturated fat of ice cream. |
|
Milk
|

Try chocolate, vanilla, almond, and plain soymilk. Excellent for cooking, on cereal, in coffee and hot chocolate -- use it any way you'd use milk. Comes in low-fat varieties, too. |
|
Cheese
|
Check health food stores for soy cheese, which is great on pizza, on sandwiches, and in sauces. You can also make a great, creamy "cheese" sauce using nutritional yeast flakes. |
