Dairy-free & lactose-free breakfast ideas
Cow's milk may be an essential breakfast ingredient in many households every day but for people who need to eat lactose-free or dairy-free, it is off the regular menu. People often need to eat dairy or lactose-free if they have lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy. But don't fret if this is you, you can still have a healthy and nutritious brekkie without consuming cow's milk in the morning.
Dairy-free milk options
- Soy milk
- Almond milk
- Coconut milk
- Rice milk
- Oat milk
People who are lactose-free—along with the list of dairy-free milk above—can also consume lactose-free milk. Lactose-free milk is regular cow's milk that has had the enzyme lactase added to help break down the lactose sugars within the milk, that way the body does not need to break it down.
