A flat white coffee contains about 140ml of milk (about quarter of a pint) but the barista is likely to heat more milk than is necessary to create a perfect cup and the excess will be discarded. So one way of reducing your dairy consumption might be to swop to a non dairy milk for your coffee – eg an oat flat white (or latte or cappuccino). You may be surprised how palatable you find this – many people find the slight sweetness of oat milk enhances the coffee.
You can swop dairy milk for oat milk in baking, when making custard and white sauces, and in porridge.
As with milk so it is equally easy to replace dairy butter with a plant-based butter – these have a similar texture and taste to dairy butter. You can swop dairy for plant-based butter on bread, in baking and pastry making, for white sauces and risottos, in baked potatoes etc.
