31
items I have a severe dairy intolerance and finding dairy-free foods that taste good has been a top priority. These are wins in my book—and many are vegan and/or high in protein, too, if those are priorities for you.

Sweet Snacks
As someone with a sweet tooth who also needs dairy free treats to taste good, these are repeat buys for me. This section includes cookies and random sweet snacks I love.
Honestly, I love these more than regular graham crackers. They're thicker like shortbread and taste more like a cookie. I also love that they don't break or crumble as easily.
Partake Classic Graham Crackers, Vegan & Gluten-Free
The perfect mix between a graham cracker and animal cracker! And they're organic!
Annie's Organic Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams
I am normally NOT a crunchy cookie person, but these little cookies are packed with flavor and taste homemade—in a good way.
Simple Mills Chocolate Chip Crunchy Cookies
Usually, I'm more of a soft, chewy cookie person, but these small crunchy cookies coated with powdered sugar are delicious! And, the ingredients are minimal, if that's important to you.
Siete Grain Free Mexican Wedding Cookies
I LOVE the OG Siete Mexican Wedding Cookies, but don't sleep on the Mexican Shorbread ones either! If you're a shortbread fan, these have a bit of cinnamon and spice added in.
Siete Grain Free Mexican Shortbread Cookies
Better than Oreos or other basic sandwich cookies, these are thick and creamy with incredible flavor that you'd never know was plant based.
Back To Nature Sandwich Cookies
WOW. You gotta try these candied dates. I first discovered them in Sweden last year, and I'm SO happy they are now available in the U.S. Truly, these taste like candy, but with the added benefit of eating dates.
True Dates Dates Creamy Peanut Butter
These tiny rice cakes are packed with flavor! The frosting drizzles are SO yummy, and I've loved every flavor I've tried. The ingredients are fairly minimal, too.
Drizzilicious
Dairy free caramels are not easy to find. These hit the spot and don't taste too coconutty —and I say that as someone who does not love coconut flavored foods.
Cocomels Sea Salt Coconut Milk Caramels
The muffins and cookies are my favorite. They're SO dense! Yes, they taste “healthy-ish” but in a good way, if that makes sense. If you typically like flax in foods, you'll love these!

High Protein Dairy-Free Snacks
When I want a dairy-free or plant-based snack that is also high in protein, I reach for one of these. And I stock up!
Hands down, these are my favorite protein bars. They actually taste like a candy bar and you'd never know they're vegan!
Misfits Protein Bars
WOW. These bars are incredible!! How are they plant-based with 12g of protein? They really do taste like a gooey, crumbly cookie.
Lenny & Larry's Cookie-fied Protein Bar - Cookies & Creme Vegan
These remind me of a chocolate-covered granola bar or crispy bar. They are dense, chewy, and I'd never guess they're vegan.
Nugo Vegan Protein Bars
Dairy free and gluten free, these donuts are my new favorite. I'm partial to the vanilla and strawberry. The glaze is so thick and I'm still shocked these are high protein and dairy free! (P.S. I tried the Drumroll muffins, and they're a little dry. ...
Drumroll Glazed Mini Donuts
Is this better than a real brownie? No. But for a vegan protein brownie, I'm seriously impressed! They're soft with a nice chocolate flavor that doesn't have a weird aftertaste.
Elavi Protein Brownie, 11g Protein, Vegan
Do I think these actually boost metabolism? No idea but that's not why I tried them. I like the amount of protein and ingredients overall. And they taste good, which is always a MUST.
METABOLISM PROTEIN SUPER BAR
These plant-based bars are soft and chewy and taste incredible—as in, no weird aftertaste! And who doesn't love an extra 14g of protein?
Aloha Plant-Based Protein Bars, 14g Protein, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 5 Pack
Dairy-Free Chocolate
Dairy-free chocolate can be hit or miss, but these options always satisfy.
Hu is possibly the best-tasting dairy free chocolate I've tried. If you like a darker chocolate, you'll love both the regular and filled varieties! The Hu gems are just as good.
Hu Chocolate
I was truly skeptical at first. How could a dairy-free, plant-based Reese's taste anything like the real thing? But they do! These are just as satisfying as the regular Reese's cups, with the perfect chocolate to peanut butter ratio, too.
Reese's Miniatures Plant Based Oat Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups Candy
I was skeptical, but Hershey's managed to create a plant-based chocolate bar that actually tastes good! For a cheaper chocolate option, it's a winner.
HERSHEY'S Plant Based Creamy Almond Sea Salt
These fig truffles are one of my ALL-TIME favorite dairy free chocolate snacks. I prefer the fig flavor to the date or banana ones. When these are in stock, I have them on monthly subscription, and sometimes buy extra. They're that good!
That's it. Organic Chocolate Fig Truffles
Savoury Snacks
You don't have to compromise on flavor or satisfaction with these savory dairy free snack options.
Somehow, all the flavors are dairy free and they actually taste good—not bland or healthy.
Lesser Evil Popcorn
I tried these on a work trip and WHOA. You'd never know the white cheddar flavor isn't real dairy, and the crunch is just as satisfying as a traditional cheese puff.
Hippeas Groovy White Cheddar Chickpea Puffs
Yes, most beef sticks are dairy free, but Chomps is superior. If you need a high protein snack that isn't a protein bar, try Chomps!
Chomps Meat Sticks
While Chomps remain a favorite, Mighty Spark is a close second. I like that these are made from chicken and the texture is smoother than a traditional meat stick. They also have a LOT of flavor and are juicier and less dry than most snack sticks.
Mighty Spark Original Snack Sticks, 8 Count Bag
Protein chips that taste good and they're dairy free? Yes, please! I love the unique flavors, like Chicken & Waffles, too.
Wilde Chips
Such a good alternative to Goldfish crackers! These are dairy free but don't taste fake.
MadeGood Star Puffed Cheddar Crackers
The white cheddar has a surprisingly intense flavor for being dairy free. The flavoring is powdery, and coats the pretzels. If you love a cheesy flavored pretzel but can't or don't eat dairy, give these a try!
FitJoy Pretzels
Trust me on these beans. They are packed with flavor and beyond better than roasted edamame. I offered some to my brother-in-law and he said, “You want me to eat dried beans?!” And then he tried them, and now he's hooked. They're that good.
Bada Bean Bada Boom Plant-Based Crunchy Broad Beans
These chips surprised me! The seasoning is perfectly bold and they're slightly thicker than regular tortilla chips, but still crunchy. And, they have 10g of protein per serving!
Simple Truth® Protein Salsa Verde Tortilla Chips, 5 oz
Cheese-less cheese thin crackers that don't taste like cardboard? Yes, please!
