Chef’s Secret

Due to its ultra-filtered nature, this milk can sometimes behave differently in high-heat cooking compared to regular milk, occasionally curdling more easily in highly acidic environments.

Substitutions

Best Match

Unsweetened Almond Milk

1:1

Lower carb and often lower calorie, dairy-free, but different flavor/texture.

Unsweetened Soy Milk

1:1

Dairy-free, good protein, but higher carb than Carb Countdown.

Half-and-Half (diluted)

Variable

Richer, but still dairy and higher fat/carb unless diluted heavily.

Regular Dairy Milk (in moderation)

Variable

For taste preference, accept higher carbs.
