Yes, you could try powdered soy milk or an equivalent instead of powdered milk. I bet it would work fine. Let us know how it goes.

This convenience mix sounds really good and it would be so handy and economical. Since my husband is lactose-intolerant, could I leave out the dry milk powder and when I used the mix, add the liquid lactose-free milk that he can tolerate, in place of the water called for the in recipe?
Thanks.
