These days, you don't have to be lactose intolerant to be a lover of nondairy milks. In fact, one in three people drink nondairy milk at least once a week. And over the past few years, the nondairy milk industry has exploded. Options used to be super limited—it was soy milk, or bust—but today, the market is flooded with nondairy milks made from a ton of different plant sources, including almond, pistachio, walnut, oat, coconut, macadamia, and more.

Our lactose-free experts
We tapped the expertise of two Delish staff members who are major (and extremely opinionated) nondairy milk lovers. As someone who is lactose-intolerant, Senior Food Producer June Xie loves a vanilla soy milk. She wants her nondairy milk to be smooth and silky. Meanwhile, Assistant Social Media Editor Izabela Campos started dabbling in dairy-free milks about two years ago. She's a huge lover of oat milk, especially in coffee.
How we chose these products
When selecting milks to taste, Campos and Xie stuck with ones that were unsweetened, so sugar couldn't mask any odd or nuanced flavors. In all, they sipped on 15 different nondairy milks. They paid close attention to taste (both wanted milks that tasted like their main ingredient), aroma (nothing funky), and texture (thick and creamy, like actual milk). Here are the nondairy milks that came out on top.
