Goat's Milk

If you are looking for a milk substitute that looks like milk, tastes like milk, but isn't cow's milk, allow me to introduce you to my friend — goat's milk. In my house, goat's milk is used for hot chocolate, in sauces and is poured over cereal. Forewarning: Goat's milk does have a bit of an aftertaste that lingers in your mouth, but you get use to it after awhile.

Goat's milk is really good for your body, too. Containing a variety of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin B and protein, and because it's easy for your stomach to digest, goat's milk is a very healthy cow's milk alternative option!

I agree about the almond milk! It has little flavor if you get the original so it can go into recipes perfectly! I make corn chowder with it all the time! Plain soy still gives off a sweet flavor but I love vanilla soy with espresso!!

Try Laloo Goat Milk ice cream in Deep Chocolate. It really takes like the real thing and the chocolate covers up that goat-y taste. So yum, I can't leave it in the house or I eat the whole thing!

Thanks for the heads up darc5204! Yup, I meant as an alternative to cow's milk. Goat's milk is soo much easier on your digestive tract!

Goat's milk is dairy *facepalm*

That was my thought too, weffie. Goat's milk is dairy. Still, for people who are sensitive to cow's milk but not against dairy in general, it can sometimes be an effective substitute.

I usually switch it up between almond, soy and rice... vanilla almond is my favourite for drinking, but I find soy better for cooking when creaminess is desired. How is goat's milk not "dairy milk"? I thought anything excreted from a mammal's teat counted as dairy, not just cow's milk.
