Her suggestions will change your meals whether your dietary restrictions are related to lactose intolerance or just investigating dairy-free choices.
Daphne advises “the key is to focus on what you can have rather than what you’re avoiding.” “There is a great range out there.”
1. Dairy-Free Milk
Daphne points out, “milk substitutes are everywhere now.” “For smoothies, I love almond milk; for coffee, oat milk.”
2. Plant-Based Yogurt
“My favourite is coconut yogurt.” she says. “Works well with fresh fruit or grains; it’s creamy. Look for names like Kite Hill or So Delicious.
3. Cheese Alternatives
