From almond milk to cashew milk, there’s no shortage of alternative milk products for anyone who wants to ditch dairy. 2018 was a big year for oat milk! Oat milk won the hearts of those who love a rich, creamy, frothy dairy alternative that mimics the taste, consistency and texture of cow’s milk. Currently, oat milk is readily available in large cities, however Whole Foods predicts that oat milk will grow and become much more mainstream. 2019 will be the year that you’ll see oat milks in cafes and supermarkets everywhere! For now Oatly oat milk can be found at Whole Foods.

Tahini is a classic Middle Eastern and Mediterranean condiment made from sesame seeds. It’s one of the main ingredients in dishes like hummus and baba ghanoush and it’s incredibly easy to make at home. To make your own tahini, all you have to do is ground the seeds in a food processor until the seeds make a creamy, smooth paste! Tahini is also readily available in most supermarkets and health food stores. Tahini is delicious served as a dip, a condiment for sandwiches and veggies.
