Buy new: $27.60
My 5-year-old son likes this brand so much that he recently told me he thinks the mac & chreese we eat "probably tastes better than the mac & cheese in that frozen meal" (one that was being advertised on TV).

RICE DREAM Rice Drink, Enriched Original, Organic, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 27)RICE DREAM Rice Drink, Enriched Original, Organic, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 27)
Buy new: $27.42
Thank goodness for Enriched Rice Dream! I have an answer for everyone who cocks an eyebrow at me and says, "What about calcium?" when I tell them my son is on a dairy-free diet. (Not that cow's milk is the answer it's purposed to be, anyway, but I'm not the type of person to launch into a lecture.) My son drinks the Vanilla, and I like the plain (for my coffee and for cooking).
Tofutti Dairy-Free Cookies, Chocolate Chip, 16-Ounce Pack (Pack of 5)Tofutti Dairy-Free Cookies, Chocolate Chip, 16-Ounce Pack (Pack of 5)
I haven't tried these cookies but so far I've liked every Tofutti brand product I've had.

Buy new: $43.23
I don't ordinarily go for low-fat stuff, but these we like -- and I feel good giving them to my kid. It's about the only fruit he eats!

Buy new: $35.20
Picky Eater Kid likes these too, and they're not chock full of artificial stuff like some brands of animal cookies (and then there are the no-name brands I don't trust...)

Buy new: $35.20
At age 5 my son has rediscovered these as a snack; the Apple Cinnamon flavor is good too. And no gluten (for those who care!)
Tinkyada Brown Rice Little Dreams with Rice Bran, 14-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)Tinkyada Brown Rice Little Dreams with Rice Bran, 14-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12)
Buy new: $40.00
This pasta is gluten-free; I tried it thinking I might work up the nerve to go gluten-free also. I haven't done the gluten-free diet, but Picky Eater Kid likes these --I think it has something to do with the transportation shapes.
Apple Jack Cereal-in-a-Cup, 0.625-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 96)Apple Jack Cereal-in-a-Cup, 0.625-Ounce Bowls (Pack of 96)
Buy new: $40.02
A dairy-free cereal. Yes, full of sugar, but better than nothing in his stomach before school; I try to reserve it as a snack, which I am successful at most of the time.
Pop-Tarts, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, 8-Count Boxes (Pack of 12)Pop-Tarts, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, 8-Count Boxes (Pack of 12)

No milk in this flavor-- for us, a fair snack alternative to worse junk.
Barbara's Bakery Peanut Butter Puffins Cereal, 11-Ounce Box (Pack of 4)Barbara's Bakery Peanut Butter Puffins Cereal, 11-Ounce Box (Pack of 4)
We like the plain Puffins too, and no dairy ingredients.

Buy new: $35.27
Plain chips of many brands are a good snack choice; I like to try to get the Baked version so the kid's not eating too much fat. He likes the exclamation point after "Baked!"
100 Calorie Packs Teddy Grahams, Mini Cinnamon Cubs, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)100 Calorie Packs Teddy Grahams, Mini Cinnamon Cubs, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 6)
Sometimes it's just nice to be able to give a brand-conscious kid the same thing everyone else has. Cinnamon Teddy Grahams are dairy-free, so I'll get them once in a while.
Gummy Multivitamin for Kids 220 bearsGummy Multivitamin for Kids 220 bears
Buy new: $16.95
This isn't the only dairy-ingredient-free gummy vitamin out there, but it's well-tolerated by my gummy-bear-loving kid. If it weren't the real deal, he'd turn up his nose at them. He likes to start his day with his 2 gummy vitamins.
California Baby Bubble Bath - I Love You, 13 oz (Pack of 2)California Baby Bubble Bath - I Love You, 13 oz (Pack of 2)
Not a food, but I love the smell of this stuff. It's expensive, so rather than pouring it into the bathwater, I blow a bunch of bubbles and then they stay in the tub-- this makes great, long-lasting bubbles with the wand.
