Discovering her allergy to dairy set Molly Green on the path of clean eating. She says, “At first, I thought giving up cheese and milk would be impossible,” but she has discovered several fantastic substitutes that taste just as good.
Molly loves the following dairy-free dishes:
Creamy Cashew Alfredo Pasta:
Molly notes, “This one’s a crowd-pleaser.” To make a thick sauce, she combines soaked cashews with garlic, nutritional yeast, and a sloshful of almond milk. For a warming meal toss it with steamed broccoli and gluten-free spaghetti.
Smoothie bowl made from coconut yogurt
Molly has a coconut yogurt smoothie bowl topped with grains, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of almond butter first thing in the morning. She says, “It’s a basic, satisfying way to start the day.”
Chocolate Mousse Made From Dairy Free Foods
Molly really enjoys a simple chocolate mousse created from pureed avocados, cocoa powder, and maple syrup for dessert. She assures us it’s rich, creamy and you wouldn’t think it’s dairy-free.
Molly exhorts anyone switching to a dairy-free diet to try things. “Don’t hesitate to test novel ingredients. You’ll be amazed at how good clean eating tastes, she adds.
