Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I’m trying out alternatives.
Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.
Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.
There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it’s not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.
Cashew milk is the best IMO. Store bought is ok, but homemade is amazing and really easy. You toast and salt them, then add a handful to a (high-powered) blender full of water. You don’t even have to strain cashew milk because it barely has any fiber. It’s got a lot of fat, so you need to store it in a container that’s shakeable because it will separate in the fridge. You can use less water if you need heavy cream for something.
