Dairy-free cooking tips
If you are new to a dairy-free diet, or simply looking to add a twist to regular recipes, the good news is that most dairy products have their dairy-free alternatives.
Non-dairy milk alternatives
A lot of side dishes such as mashed potatoes call for dairy products to ensure creaminess. Here’s a quick list of dairy-free milk alternative for different dishes and uses:
- Almond milk is a great substitute for milk in every aspect of cooking and baking.
- Coconut milk is delicious, rich, and creamy.
- Soy milk is rich with great consistency, similar to coconut milk. It has density due to fat, fiber, and protein while it is still free of cholesterol and saturated fats.
Dairy-free butter alternative
Coconut oil is certainly the best substitute for butter in a dairy-free diet. Coconut oil is great for use in just about everything, from baking to stove-top cooking (and even in your hot beverages). It’s healthy, rich, and tastes delicious. It cuts down on saturated fats and won’t change the flavor of food too much.
