We all know that sausage is never going to be considered healthy. That said we all need a treat occasionally and sausage isn't going to change. What can be changed is the biscuits so they have been lightened up and made them as healthy as a biscuit is ever likely to get. While any milk will work in the gravy I have to admit that I do recommend whole dairy in this case.
