    I like the almond milk and unsweetened soy. I'm not even lactose intolerant; I started buying non-dairy milks because they keep longer than diary.

    Try a few different ones and see which ones you like best. You may find you like some brands more than others depending on the cereal you choose.

    If you are not concerned about being vegan, you can try goat’s milk for savory dishes (though I don’t suggest it for cereal because it does have a slight tang to it).

    I realize you are mostly concerned with milk for your cereal, though. I have used coconut milk, almond milk and soy milk in the past but do not use soy milk any longer (I have read it produces a great deal of mucus, so thanks but no thanks). I sometimes buy organic coconut milk, but I mostly use homemade almond milk. It’s super easy to make, cheaper than buying it from the store and will not have any nasty, added chemicals or preservatives.

    All you need is one cup of almonds, five cups of water (or more or less; keep in mind the more you use the less creamy the milk will be), a half of a teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Blend and strain through a nut milk bag (cheese cloth can also work and so can panty hose if you don’t have the other two options). Store in a tightly-sealed container (like a mason jar). Keeps for about a week.

    You can also add various items for sweetness if you’d like: cinnamon, vanilla, honey, maple syrup, agave, dates, stevia etc. Totally your call. Since you are using it for cereal, you might really like adding a hint of sweetness to it.

    Best of luck!

    I have only tried soy and almond milk (other than cow's milk). I like them both, but mostly drink soy. Partly because it has more protein and I tend to short on protein, but mostly because I started drinking it many years ago when it was the only milk alternative available in my area and it's just habit now.

    I am not lactose intolerant, but I only use Silk Light Soy milk on my cereal either the plain or vanilla. My son loves the Silk Very Vanilla Soy milk.

    I love unsweetened almond milk, especially the vanilla flavor. Trader Joe's brand is my favorite, but Almond Breeze is great too.

    I think almond milk sounds delicious!

    There's also chocolate almond milk too, my daughter's drinking that at supper time right now :) When her pediatrician told us we needed to do an elimination diet and to start with dairy I was nervous, but I've found out that it's not really that hard-there's lots of dairy free options that are similar in cost. Next up is gluten, now that's the one I'm really dreading!

    I like Unsweetened Almond Milk or Full-Fat Coconut Milk.

    Some people with lactose intolerance can handle some milk. You may look at getting raw milk from specific cows not containing A1 casein, but only A2 casein... or goat milk.

    Almond Milk is AWESOME. I don't drink regular milk PERIOD. Haven't since I was 13 or 14... got scared of it with all of the hormones and BS they put in it, so I've been on alternatives for a long time. Can't even stand how milk tastes. Almond Milk however? Is amazing!!

    I loooovvveee almond milk! It has a nuttiness that is delicious, and it doesn't develop an after taste if you microwave it (unlike soy). It also works well in faux-buttermilks.

    I've been intolerant since a baby but oddly enough I CRAVED "real" milk when I was pregnant. I could stomach it and everything, like it never bothered me before. Within a few weeks of giving birth, BAM back to normal. Strange right??

    My sister has never liked milk and uses apple juice in her cereal.

    My niece was a allergic to dairy for a few years until she outgrew it, my other sister would make 'milk' out of oatmeal for baking.

    There are tons of products that include dairy and whey, that you wouldn't think would include them.
