Vegan Store Cupboard Challenge

I like rice milk. Particularly for porridge as it makes it lighter than with cows milk. I've never liked soya milk.

Like JoJo I'm an omnivore who eats a lot of vegan food.

... And I think you might have listed the contents of my cupboards...

This thread is giving me lots of ideas thanks particularly to Icontinuetodream that recipe sounds doable and lovely.

You could use Alpro soya milk then.

I am Omni, but also identify as a animal product reducer so tend to eat vegan most of the time.

I have always hated cows milk, and have a soy milk machine. I think that the main problem with soy is that the vast majority is grown for animal feed, not for human consumption, so I tell myself that (paradoxically) by consuming soy I am actually reducing demand. And by making my own milk I am not buying packaged stuff too.

I also have about 15 types of dried beans and lentils, loads of flours for breadmaking and more spices han I know what to do with.

Have considerably cut down on my intake of cheese and eggs, but have not yet been able to give up milk in my tea and coffee (though again have reduced the amount I use). Don't mind soya milk, but refuse to buy it because of the way it's grown, i.e. it seems to often lead to rainforest destruction. Have yet to try rice milk. Any other suggestions?

Drink it black! The one thing I've never been able to find is a cow's milk alternative that I actually like (and I've tried the lot!) - black coffee & tea with lemon is much more preferable

I'm another that was vegan for a couple of years, now back to veggie but still eat vegan much of the time.

icontinuetodream, how about carob chips? Great for for sprinking over fruit, baking, muesli bars etc

Yes, I was going to mention that. Even most soya which is consumed by humans goes into ready meals etc, most of which are produced for the meat-eating market.
