Molly Green’s Dairy-Free Recipes for Clean Eating Success

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.
