Another Dairy-free Thread

I am severely lactose intolerant and while Lactaid typically works, I'm trying to cut back on dairy as well.

 

I bought some of that "SO" dairy free coconut milk vanilla ice cream stuff yesterday, and it was pretty good. But since I know we have some dairy-free pham, I was wondering if any of you know of any good dairy free substitute foods or recipes or anything.

I used to have an allergy to proteins (or something, it was never really explained to me) and I couldn't have any dairy.  I grew up on Silk soymilk. It was good, although really sweet, it takes a while to get used to the sweetness.   I haven't had to do the whole dairy free thing for a while though, I'm forgetting a lot of things.

I recently tried the Go Veggie! Vegan mozzarella shreds and they were pretty good on pizza - stretchy and everything!

I love Very Vanilla Silk Soymilk.  It's made for kids and has a richer vanilla taste than the regular Silk Vanilla.  It's high in vitamins, too.

Also, if you want to have a good substitute for cream cheese, I used to be a vegan and bought Tofutti 'Better than Cream Cheese!' and it was really good on bagels.  I couldn't really tell a difference.  They also make sour cream substitutes.

We use almond milk or coconut milk in baking. Go with almond if you don't want a coconut flavor in something, though. It may still have a slight almond taste, but much more neutral than coconut. Or like my husband said, we started making "vegan cheese" out of cashews. That can also be used for sour cream, also. We don't do anything soy based, so that has ruled out some other alternatives, but that can mess with my cycle and it can be a problem for people with a protien intolerance because the protiens are similar (at least that was how I have understood it). We google a lot of vegan recipes and then just use meat in them if we want it. Lol.

I don't know too many myself, but if you have facebook this is a good page to 'like': https://www.facebook.com/pages/Live-The-Smart-Way/134227829964069?fref=ts  The founder is a gluten free cook, but she also posts a lot of dairy-free recipes as well. Her name is Kathy Smart if you want to google her. I've made a few of the recipes, they're really good.

You might also want to see if you can find dairy-free Kosher recipes and foods

 

Because that way you will have recipes and products that are clearly marked and certified as being dairy free. 

 

This article explains what to look for / watch out for.

I'm not lactose intolerant, but I do have a low-grade dairy allergy (a different thing, and one that matches the symptoms you've stated, before, Claire.)   When it flares up, I make good use of the Kosher labeling... and use some of the dairy-free Kosher recipies.

 

It's so frustrating that the dairy stuff is in SO MUCH of our food....
