The Milk-Free Pantry only approves safe, non-dairy foods for kids and adults with milk allergies, lactose intolerance or other dairy-free diets. Be aware that some brands may be safe, while others are not. Even different flavors of the same brand can vary when it comes to containing milk ingredients.

1.Duncan Hines Brownie Mix

Except for the MILK chocolate mix, but that seems self-evident.

2.Nutter Butters

3.Sorbet (most brands)

Sorbet, by definition, means no milk or cream. Which doesn't mean it's not delicious.

4.Oreos

5.Coconut Bliss Ice Cream

Non-dairy

To be fair, you probably can guess that this brand is dairy free — but you might not know that it's really good! Coconut is a great sub for milk in frozen desserts.

6.Tofutti Cuties

Milk

7.Hershey's Syrups

8.Nabisco Iced Oatmeal Cookies

9.Marshmallows & Marshmallow Creme

10.Graham Crackers and Teddy Grahams

If you don't find delight in tiny cookies shaped like animals, you're no kind of human being.

11.Dark Chocolate (most brands)

Milk chocolate (as the name implies!) probably isn't a good bet, but the dark stuff is often safe to eat. It's also less sugary, and thus better for you.

(And you know what marshmallows + graham crackers + chocolate means, right?)

Non

12.Biscoff Cookie Spread

13.Vienna Fingers

14.Ready-Made Frosting (most brands)

Ingredients found in Betty Crocker 'Whipped Butter Cream Frosting': Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil, Water, High Maltose Corn Syrup, Corn Starch.

Ingredients NOT found in Betty Crocker 'Whipped Butter Cream Frosting': Butter, cream.

(The label does warn that the frosting still 'may contain milk ingredients'; it's only in tiny trace amounts that could be picked up from the factory, but avoid if you're hypersensitive.)

15.Lorna Doone Shortbread

16.Fig Newmans

17.Luigi's Italian Ice

18.Pop-Tarts (some flavors)

We've all been there: You get to the front of the coffee line, and you still haven't settled on what milk you should put in your latte. Soy? Almond? Skim?We're here to help, at least on the nutrition end.We evaluated some of the most commonly used dairy milk and milk substitutes and stacked them up based on how much protein, vitamins, and minerals they contain relative to their fat, sugar, and calorie content. (Unless a brand is otherwise specified, we used the nutritional content provided by the US Department of Agriculture.)Find out how your favorite dairy or nondairy beverage stacks up:
