2. Plant based milk

Cashew milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk and other plant based milks are a staple in the vegan fridge. Cashew milk is thicker than other plant based milk products, which is why it is a preferred vegan ingredient to cook with. It also has a whole milk flavor due to the thickness.
