I have just decided on a whim that I no longer want to support the dairy industry and cut it out of my diet cold turkey. I've already trialed a run and I felt great but it was so difficult. Never realized how much dairy was in my diet in basically everything I ate and it wasn't long before I ran out of things to eat that didn't contain it. Even subjected myself to eating cereal with water which was extremely unpleasant. It's been hard but I know you're the community to ask for help because you've probably went through this sort of thing before.

    Plant milk.

    There are a lot of different kinds. Soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk to name a few. Oat milk is my personal favorite but you should try different kinds to see what you like (though be aware that almond milk production takes a lot of water).

      I'll give oat milk a shot, because I need wheat protein anyway. Thanks!

        Oat milk is pretty great if you're going with just 1 plant-based milk, since it foams for lattes and with some additions, you can get it to whip for meringue or whipped cream and stuff

        I agree with BeamBrain. Do you cook much now? Cutting dairy is a lot easier if you're preparing at least some of your food. They really do put it in everything

          I cook a lot more now than I used to because processed food is expensive and nothing really compared to freshly baked bread.

        just my personal opinion i love soymilk in cereal/coffee/tea that sort of stuff, some brands are also fortified with more vitamins including b12 (though most cereal ive seen also has b12). i can only do the unsweetend kind though, stuff like "regular" is too sweet 4 me
