So if you've followed my posts from the beginning, you may know that I have the unfortunate ability to turn any form of dairy product into human waste in an immeasurable amount (sorry that was gross). But thank the deities that we live in an era obsessed with everything-free. Soy-free, GMO-free, gluten free, and my absolute favorite, dairy-free.
Many a person who takes my order will be perplexed when I inquire if their items have butter/milk etc. in them. They'll say something like "No, but don't you need a gluten free bun?" or "The only thing that has dairy is the mayo". I've grown patience with the people who try to separate mayo from me. No, mayo doesn't have dairy. No, egg doesn't count as dairy. Yes, I'm very sure it doesn't have dairy.
There it is, right next to some beans and a roasted chicken. So put some damn mayo on my burger!
So now back to the point of my blog. I have some things dairy free that, regardless of your current diet, you MUST HAVE. Whenever I find something diary free that I like, I get kind of obsessed with it. I really hope for those of you who may be part of the No Lactose Club, that this helps you deal with saying goodbye to certain foods.
First up is this "brownie" bar. I first got these camping because all we did was sit around the fire and eat food and I wanted something chocolaty to have when my boyfriend was making s'mores. They are amazing. It has simple and healthy ingredients that are soooo good. I was recently flying cross country and I was desperately looking for a quick snack before the plane took off and I had checked virtually every little food hub in Minnesota, and as I was near tears and about to give up, I found these bars. They are extremely filling for such a small bar. UGH! I love them.
As a kind/teen I was sort of addicted to Doritos until I got a sulfite-attack/allergic reaction after eating nearly the whole bag. When I found these Quinoa Puffs, I was instantly in love. I ate the entire bag and I felt GREAT. Then I felt sad because I only bought one. If anyone wants to get me the best Christmas present, fill my entire room and I would be on cloud nine. They come in a couple other dairy free flavors, but I like the spicy ones.
This one isn't exactly dairy free specific, but I added it on here for people who might want an alternative for pop. I know that pop (soda) is quite literally addictive and from the bottom of my heart, I hope you stop drinking it for the sake of your own health who ever is reading this right now. If you force yourself to get something like Honest Tea any time you're inclined to buy a bottle of pop, your body will be so happy. I pinky promise!
Ditto for this drink. Plus, sometimes it's pink which is fun!
Finding good cereal is a struggle for me, but this one pleasantly surprised me. It has very basic ingredients and a little bit of pomegranate that gives it natural sweetness. I don't like having heavy corn syrup or gross additives at all, but especially in the morning because everything is so sensitive in my belly. I would suggest this to really anyone, not just dairy free friends.
Alright, let's get real for a second. I'm from Buffalo, so wings are a MUST, especially now that it's football season. Pigging out is healthy sometimes. When people go one diets, they can get so miserable from all the cravings they get, but honestly it's better to give yourself some cheat meals once in a while. Otherwise no one is happy. Eat the damn chicken wings, they make you happy! (Make sure they use oil, not butter to toss with the hot sauce).
Last, but certainly not least (actually the best). Ice cream. So Delicious is probably my favorite brand for ice creams. They have bars, and pints and sandwiches. Sweets are essential. Even if you're a firm believer in non-vegan desserts (good for you for reading this whole blog if that's the case) you should still try some of these things. They are healthier for you and I might even dare to say that they taste better than the real stuff.
If you guys have any other dairy free treats, PLEASE let me know. Email me, Facebook me, stalk me, I don't care, I love food. (actually, please don't stalk me.)
For those who know how nuts I got last year, Halloweek is near and if you have any suggestions or requests for crafts, costumes I would love to hear about it.
xoxo
