Looking For Dairy Substitutes


waterlily-

Recommended Posts

I need to go off dairy for a while and I was wondering what subs there are out there for yogurt? I have smoothies for breakfast every other day and I can't think of anything different to use instead of yogurt.

I know of almond, coconut and soy milks, is there anything else? (that's not outrageously high priced) I don't like to drink soy milk straight as it tastes weird and coconut isn't much better. I haven't tried almond yet but I will. And chocolate soy milk as well, I heard that's better. ?

I never really thought about how much dairy is really in my diet. I'm seriously going to miss it. haha I just hope it's not permanent... D:

Thanks!

Can you just make fruit smoothies? Like with orange juice/apple juice and berries/bananas/etc?

I have oj fortified with calcium/vit D every morning to make up for the lost calcium from dairy.

If you use frozen fruit or fresh fruit with ice you don't really need to use yogurt or any type of dairy. They end up still being very tasty. My daughter's favorite is using frozen strawberries, canned peaches and a little bit of orange juice. Good luck finding something that works for you!

I do use fruit. Milk, yogurt and fruit. I need a sub for the first two things.

I prefer the smoothies with milk & yogurt as it's more filling. Thanks though. :]

I have seen coconut milk yogurt and soy yogurt but both are expensive. You can also try alternative milks however as they won't taste the same in the smoothie as they do straight or on cereal. Almond milk and coconut milk beverage (in the half gallons in the milk section-- coconut milk in the can is different) come in a variety of flavors--plain, vanilla, sweet, unsweet, chocolate. There is also hemp milk and rice milk (avoid Rice Dream brand however, the carton says it's gluten-free but it is made with barley water and gives some people trouble).

For baking I use olive oil, coconut oil (which is solid in form at room temperature) and palm oil shortening. For creamy dips and dressings I use mayo (I am still experimenting). Earth Balance makes a dairy free spread (I have not tried it because I can't find it in my stores).

I use coconut milk for fat in my smoothies and some protein powder along with the fruit. Filling and doesn't give me a hypoglycemic ride. :)

Just cow? If not, what about goat yogurt? My wife loves it.

There's also hazelnut and hemp milks. Plus rice milk, but I'd suggest making it yourself since some folks have reported reacting to cc in the biggest brand.

Have you tried the newish So Delicious coconut milk? I think it's pretty good mixed into anything and coconut's such a good fat, IMO.

Also, there's a coconut milk creamer that's tasty and might really make a smoothie creamy.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
