Coconut
Dense, canned coconut milk has long been a staple in curries and vegan cooking, but now we’re seeing thinner, good-fat “coconut milk beverage,” a stand-in for dairy milk, on store shelves. It’s ideal over cereal, in coffee, or subbed into recipes.

Cashew
Subtly sweet cashews are crammed with minerals like magnesium and copper. Cashew milk is a DIY cinch: Soak 1 cup raw cashews in water overnight. Drain, then blend in a food processor with 3 cups water, ó teaspoon vanilla extract, and agave nectar to taste. Strain and serve.
