The Other White Milks

"There's more to non-dairy milk than soy. Whether you
are lactose-Intolerant, vegan or simply in search of a
little dietary variety, you're in luck. "Faux milk" choices
are increasingly available at your local health food stores
and grocery stores. The most popular is soy milk, made from
soybeans and water, but there are other tasty varieties."

"Almond Milk is produced by mixing water with ground almonds,
almond milk is slightly sweet and creamy. A one-cup serving
provides nearly half the daily requirements of vitamin E, and
is just 40 to 60 calories - less than most dairy and non-dairy
milk varieties. *Add almond milk to muffins and quick breads for
richer flavor.

Hemp Milk is made by blending hemp seeds and water, hemp milk has
an unmistakable nutty flavor and is creamy but slightly grainy.
It boasts omega-3 fatty acids and iron. *Bring one cup of hemp milk
to a simmer and stir in 1 ounce of dark chocolate for a rich hot cocoa."

-Lingonberries Market has a great selection of milk.
