Vegan Substitute
Find the best plant-based milk for every use: oat, soy, almond, and more. Real ratios for baking, coffee, and cooking recipes.
Dairy milk production uses approximately 628 litres of water per litre of milk and generates three times more emissions than any plant milk.
Coffee, cereal, baking, creamy sauces
Best all-rounder. Barista editions froth well. Slightly sweet and creamy.
Baking, cooking, protein shakes
Highest protein content among plant milks (~7g per cup). Neutral flavor works in most recipes.
Smoothies, light baking, cereal
Lower in calories but also lower in protein. Choose unsweetened for cooking.
Soy milk is the closest nutritional match with ~7g protein per cup. For taste and texture, oat milk is the most similar due to its natural creaminess and mild sweetness.
Yes, any plant milk works 1:1 in baking. Soy and oat milk are best because their higher protein and fat content helps with browning and structure. Add 1 tsp vinegar to make vegan buttermilk.
Some plant milks can curdle in hot acidic coffee. Use barista editions (oat or soy) which are formulated to resist curdling. Adding the milk first before coffee also helps.
