You can make your own almond buttermilk if you need it. Just take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and add it to your milk substitute. Let it sit for a minute and it will have the consistency and tangy flavor of buttermilk
Rice Milk
Rice milk is a grain milk made from processed brown rice. It generally has no added sweeteners because its own carbohydrates turn into sugars during processing. It is often used by lactose-intolerant people or those allergic to soy. Rice milk comes in unflavored, vanilla, or chocolate. You can sometimes find it in almond flavor as well.
