Vance's Darifree Fake Milk

Our local co-op does not require you to be a member to shop there, but I understand some do. I'd call first and check before making a trip. With ours, membership gets you a discount on certain days, and a little more "validity" in input - when a member asks them to carry specific items, they are more likely to jump on it and get them in, knowing that the person shops there regularly. Also, I can order special things through the co-op, like if I wanted a case of Vance's Darifree and ordered it through the co-op, if they give any "business" or quantity discounts, I would get that. Also split the cost of shipping with any order that the co-op was placing, instead of having to pay all the shipping myself. And our co-op works with the local farmers, so again if I want something special in quantity, I can ask and the co-op might be able to get a better price than if I just tried to buy it myself. I think the co-op is a good idea, and try to support it by being a member. If it wasn't local though, I probably wouldn't join. Just purchase occassionally when I was in the area.

Debmidge--I don't think it tastes exactly like milk--but I like it very much. It (to my taste) is a bit sweeter than milk. The thickness (texture) is more like regular whole milk. It is great for things that you don't mind adding a little bit of sweetness to. Sometimes I use it dry--like a non-dairy creamer in my hot tea. It makes it nice and creamy--lots better than the thinner rice and almond milks. It also makes great cocoa, and I think it would be good on cereals. I don't use it in my mashed potatoes, though. Mix it up and I think you'll be pleased! :)

That's so nice of you! :D

My dd likes it on her cereal. It's also good in blended, iced coffee recipes. I also use Vance's for my soups such as potato, cream of broccoli, gluten-free cream of mushroom etc. I also like it as a cream base for pasta dishes. I can use the powder with oil, vinegar, and spices to make creamy vinegrette dressings. Here recently I used the powder with mustard etc. to make a dressing for potato salad. My dd can't have mayo and the salad was awesome. :)

It was a godsend for me only because I can't tolerate soy or rice milks. I can do almond milk, but because of the nutty taste, it's not suited to certain things. Not that I was a milk drinker to begin with! It is just perfect for me for the times I need a creamy ingredient. Now, if they would just carry it in more stores....

My dd is allergic to soy milk and almond milk. I'm not a milk drinker but my dd will drink Vance's by the glass. I can even dilute it some and she enjoys it. I really like being able to control the consitancy of the milk. We do coconut milk, rice milk and Vance's. I use them all and rotate them as I need.

I haven't got to try to the Vance's ice cream recipes yet because I'm almost out. I hope to try it this weekend. I'll be sure to post how it goes! :D

Miss Roben's has a ice cream mix that uses Vance's that you might want to check out. I prefer to use organic ingredients when at all possible so I'll probably just make my own. :)

Kasey's mom--I will be looking forward to see how the ice cream recipe goes--it's been a long time since I've had ice cream (sorbets are good, but not the same). I see you use it for soups--I am thinking I can use it then for scalloped potatoes--very possibly tonight w/chicken! Thanks again for all of your good ideas :)

Additional Questions:

1) After I make it, I store in refrigerator - how long does it last?

2) It is best tasting right after it's made?

3) Does anyone get any gut reactions (non celiac reactions) from it?

I agree w/Patti ~ my daughter doesn't really care for it to drink straight, but loves it in things. It definitely is sweeter than milk. I usually make a cup w/the creamer recipe (1c. hot water to 1/3c DF) every morning. Use most of it to make a smoothie for her and then use whatever is left in my coffee or hot chocolate.

I also bake w/it. Our new favorite bread recipe has it in it and last night I made some cupcakes w/it too.

Acording to thier web site, it lasts 1 year unmade, and 1 week made.

Wow--that got there fast!! Well, it turned out perfect because today's your birthday--another present :D ! Hope you enjoy it--do make the cocoa--I do it with pure cocoa powder, sugar and the milk. It's so good. If you make up a pitcher-full, be sure to mix very well--use the hot water method on the label--it tends to want to clump on the bottom. Have fun--enjoy the rest of your day, and let me know how it goes! :)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
