Hi Kkgirl

Perhaps have a look for vegan recipes to give you some ideas?

If you need to avoid fructose, you could try dextrose/glucose as you can buy it in powder form. Almond milk may be ok, but you will need to check the labelling on the commercial makes as they often contain grape juice plus a lot of additives, probably best to make your own if you can.

Hi kkgirl,

If it helps, a quick look at the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze unsweetened almond milk carton shows only 0.1g of sugar per 100ml.

I'm starting to try out Stevia powder but haven't made anything like that as yet.
