Looking For Dairy Substitutes

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.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
