We've tasted tested these non dairy products and are sharing our favorites. All of these dairy free, nut-based products that are vegan and gluten free too.

Nothing comes closer to making your own nut milk than MALK. They offer a line of cashew and almond milks with a taste unlike most you'll find in your local grocer's fridge. There are no additives or gums. These milks are made with nuts, salt, water, and some flavors have added vanilla or maple syrup for additional sweetness and body. I love adding them to my smoothies because their taste enhances the flavor of the concoctions I blend, without any additives. MALK products have been proudly made in Texas since 2014.
Milkadamia Unsweetened Macadamia Milk is a delicious non-dairy macadamia nut milk with a subtle, smooth flavor and beautiful milky creaminess. It offers a creamy richness unlike many other nut milks and I love it to use for cereal or in coffee.
