Question:

What is a good alternative for people who have a legume and dairy allergy?

— Carmen Sammut

Answer:

Well, my milk of choice is oat milk. And I say that because I run into people who have allergies. I run into people who have nut allergies and people who avoid soy. And I don't think that, I don't wanna use canned coconut milk very often. There are some places where canned coconut milk work, coconut milk beverage, which is like in a carton like almond milk or any of the milks has, is very thin. I don't care for that. So I would say give oat milk a chance.
