    Just been to the supermarket. Wow, there is more choice in soya milk than normal milk these days!

    Sweetened, unsweetened, in the chiller cabinet, UHT etc etc!

    I have got two of Sainsbury's own brand from the chiller, one sweetened and one normal.

    Dobie- Yes I have thought about cutting out all dairy, but this week I've had a little bit of cheese, but just not had any porridge or yogurts. I think I would say I am more intolerant to it, so can cope with small amounts of dairy.

    I use Rice Dream. I get it in a pack of 3 individual small cartons. It is more expensive than a big carton, but I only use it for my porridge, so there is no waste.

    I only use the Rice Dream, a splash of water and some goji berries (currants if I have run out). The rice milk is natually sweet, so I don't need to add any sugar.

    I also like porridge made with water and a little grated syrup. Porridge made with water and a grated apple added after cooking is also very good.

    Lidl do a very good soya milk in their chiller cabinet, and also a chocolate flavoured one (gorgeous, I cannot buy it as I would have to drink it all on my way back from shopping!).
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

  • Honestly, if you make porridge with just water it can be really delicious! The oat milk seeps out and makes it really creamy without milk!

    Yum!

    I make dairy-free porridge with water, but then add a splash (1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon, depending on how much creaminess I crave) of coconut cream. Yummy!

    I changed my 1 year old DS's milk to goats milk as I wanted to see if it was triggering his Eczema, he never noticed the difference in taste and although I could notice a slight aftertaste it isn't unpleasant.

    Especially if you soak the oats in the water overnight - can't really taste the difference.

    We add some cinamon to the porridge, chopped up nuts and/or banana!

    Yummy stuff.
