Exchange a dairy yogurt with a soy- or rice-based version. Buy the plain flavor,and add fresh fruit and date paste for a whole-food version. Plain plant-based yogurt works well as a moisture-adding ingredient in baking. It can also add a creamy texture when cooking sauces, curries, or soups.
Make buttermilk by adding 2 teaspoons lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup soy milk.
