I have noticed a welcome change in supermarkets, there are more and more non dairy milks on the shelves each week. Whether people are choosing them because they are vegan, for health reasons or simply because they enjoy the taste the sections in the supermarkets are growing all the time.
Every time I shop I notice new products, the latest one I've seen is Cashew milk from Alpro which joins it's non-dairy nutty friends hazelnut and almond. Nut milks are one of my favourite as they have a great flavour and add delicious taste to porridge, cereals or baking. Of course people could make these products at home by blending nuts and water but like most items convenience wins out.
The fact that there are more options shows that more brands are realising the demand for vegan products and are trying to win the market with ever more creative products. I've seen bulk buying options for soya milk, mixed flavours of vegan milks and even chocolate non dairy milk by the litre. It is a world away from the days where your only alternative to cows milk was soya hidden somewhere in the supermarket on a dusty shelf. Non dairy milks now have there own sections which is increasing every day.
I welcome this change and enjoy trying new products, I only recently tried hazelnut milk and love it which just shows you don't know what you will enjoy until you give it a go. The rising range of non dairy milks also shows how veganism is increasing in popularity all the time. Supermarkets only supply what is popular as they are all about making money, I wonder how long it will be before the non-dairy section is bigger than the dairy isle, maybe they'll get rid of it all together because who needs cows milk when there are so many healthier, delicious options available.
