The Ultimate Dairy Free Pantry Guide

Regardless of where you are in your dairy free journey, this dairy free pantry guide will help you find the ingredients you need to fully stock your pantry and fridge.

Learn how to grocery shop for a dairy free diet

When we started eating dairy free, I found grocery shopping really frustrating. I never knew what to buy and I would spend endless amounts of time staring at ingredients lists only to get home and realize I bought the wrong thing.

After years of doing this, I’ve finally figured out my favorite products and dairy free grocery shopping is so much easier. I’ve put together a list of our go-to choices when we’re grocery shopping to help you navigate the chaos. We almost always have these products in our fridge or pantry on any given day.

They are definitely not the only options and they won’t necessarily be safe for everyone. Ingredients may change, please always check your labels and make sure the ingredients and allergy statements meet your needs before consuming any products.

I will be adding and removing items from this list as we try out new products and discover new ingredients. Have a favorite item that’s not listed? Tell us in the comments so we can check it out.

P.S. Did you know that you can ask your grocery store to stock items that they don’t already carry? Most stores will be happy to do so if they know it’s something customers want. Just ask!

  1. Our family, of which 4 of us are lactose intolerant, use Campbell’s Golden Mushroom Soup. I keep many cans in stock to use as a replacement in so many recipes. It’s a great substitute in green bean casserole, or as a gravy alternative mixed with Campbell’s beef consommé.

  2. Can you tell me the brand of coconut milk you’re suggesting for a dairy free pumpkin pie. The only brand I’ve seen is Goya coconut milk at 9 grams of fat. Is this considered a rich amount? Please Help as I want to make the pie for Thanksgiving. Thank you in advance.

    1. Sure! The Aroy-D brand that I buy has 17.5g fat per 1/2 cup serving, so it’s super creamy! I think the Goya brand is 1/4 cup servings at 9g of fat per serving, so it should be about equal!

  3. So Delicious has many great products I love their yogurt and non-dairy whip topping
    Field Roast makes Chao cheese slices that are really good
    Enjoy life makes many things that are free of the top 8 or 10 allergens including chocolate chips, candies and chips.

  4. A it of your recipes call for plain coconut yogurt (and you have the Coyo brand on this list). I’m having trouble locating any version of this near me (I went to 4 stores). are there other brands/options that you use or recommend? Thanks!

    1. Try So Delicious Coconut Yogurt (the green one!). They have a plain unsweetened version that is available in a lot of stores, even Walmart!
