You could also just try not having it. For instance, if a meal calls for 1 cup of yogurt, have something else instead that would be comparable, perhaps homemade seitan, or black beans topped with salsa, oil-free hummus and veggies, or take a recipe from another day in the kickstart and duplicate it.

When I started the last kickstart my taste-buds changed. But for now you might try a small amount of rice or almond milk as a substitute in a recipe.

If you can find them, the small green lentils called "Lentilles du puy" are excellent. There's a Canadian organic brand that sells more cheaply than some others. These particular lentils are great in soup (e.g. with celery, carrot, onion and rosemary), as a filler in a wrap sandwich (with lemon or lime or apple cider vinegar, grated carrot and radish) or as part of a salad. You can "google" them for more recipe ideas. I think they are the best lentils for people who are not enthusiastic about lentils!

You can prepare even the vegan starter culture (called rejeuvelac) yourself. http://sharan-india.org/recipes/peanut-milk/ is the recipe for peanut milk [Make sure you boil it]. Check out recipes 19 and 21 at http://sharan-india.org/vegan-recipes/healthy-kitchen-cd/ for the peanut yogurt. If you don't like it plain, follow the instructions in recipe 21 for tempering it. For the starter, see recipe from http://sharan-india.org/vegan-recipes/healthy-kitchen-cd/

You don't have to have any form of soy on this plan if you don't want to. When I first did the Kickstart in January, I was coming off such a love of dairy that I didn't want to use any of the "fake milks" for at least a month, as I knew I would have the taste of cow still in my mouth. I gradually started trying them after that first month, and now use oat milk and almond milk on my oatmeal, and soy milk to take my medications with...and have a splash of soy in my tea. There are lots of alternate milks if you want to go that route. But soy is not required in any form to be a healthy vegan!

As far as fat content there are no added fats it's just the fat from the coconut. When it comes to milk there are so many non-dairy, oatmilk, hemp milk, almond milk, etc. www
