Alternatives
If you¹d rather skip the chemicals, fats and beaver booty, but still
crave a little creaminess in your java, you might want to consider one
of these (relatively) healthier options.
Almond Milk*
A good choice for the lactose intolerant, almond milk comes in a variety
of flavors. Typically supplemented, it is a good source of vitamins A,
B-12 and D as well as potassium, phosphorus and zinc.*
Coconut Milk*
Delicious and healthful:
More than half of the fats from coconuts are known as medium-chain
triglycerides (MCTs) * a type of fat that is more likely to be burned
off as fuel, rather than stored on the body.*
Cream and Whole Milk
For those not afflicted with lactose intolerance, smaller amounts of
these high-fat foods can produce health benefits:
Dairy fats contain bio-active components including CLA (Conjugated
linoleic acid) and Omega-3 fatty acids that counter balance saturated
fats.
In addition, whole milk has lots of protein and calcium, as well as
vitamin D and potassium.* Further, recent studies are showing that,
contrary to what was once thought, ³consumption of whole-fat dairy is
linked to reduced body fat.³
Hemp Milk*
Imparting no additional buzz to your morning cup of Joe, hemp milk is
also a viable alternative for the lactose intolerant. A cup of Hemp
Bliss original flavor provides 20% of the RDA of iron and 5 grams of
protein, with only 7 grams of fat.
Soy Milk
Although recent research has raised some concern about ingesting too
much soy, it remains a good source of vitamin A and calcium, and one cup
provides six grams of protein and only 4 grams of fat.

seems to me that if you can make mac and cheese with milk alternatives,
you can make tetrazzini
