We've got impossible burgers which are honestly better than most real burgers, but it's there a viable alternative for my morning/mid morning/lunchtime/early afternoon/late afternoon/evening/nightcap (decaf) latte? edit: Oh wait I forgot about cheese, yeah life without milk is udderly untenable.

I've been looking for a decent replacement for milk for a long time, I've tried them all. Oat Milk is what I've finally settled on. Specifically the brand Oatly (which I believe is broadly available) for me has solved the overly oaty taste with their Barista Edition milk. I will say that it is still notably worse than cows milk, but to a degree I can personally live with. But I'd recommend maybe ordering an oat milk latte one day when you're feeling particularly adventurous and just seeing if the downgrade in taste is tenable for you. Cheese is a whole other kettle of fish, they're all awful.

  Boursin's dairy-free cheese spread is a great alternative to cream cheese IMO (although you're kind of stuck with garlic & herbs flavor). Haven't quite found good alternatives to melty cheeses like cheddar though.

Perfect Day has engineered yeast to make milk proteins. They're selling ice cream made of actual milk, produced from yeast.

Fortunately coconut milk based yoghurts are quite palatable. Sorry, I have to.

  Have you had any success using that site (vegancheese.co)? I want to try them but a lot are only available in very specific regions. I found one that was supposedly available at a farmers' market near me (bay area) but when I went there I couldn't find it. Do any of them deliver?
