5 Useful Tips on How to Replace the Dairy Products

Although it’s almost that time when you’ll be able to eat as much dairy as you wish again, this article is definitely gonna be useful for you. So, lent goes hand in hand with the lack of milk, cheese and yoghurt, right? At least we hope you’re strict with yourself when it comes to Easter fasts! So, if you’re one of those people who managed to go all the way through with no dairy, congrats! However, we’re pretty sure you’ve struggled with the idea of how to replace the favorite products, huh? Today we’re giving you 5 useful tips on what to use instead of milk and the other dairy:

1. Use coconut milk instead of cream

OK, let’s take the morning drink for an example. When preparing your coffee, you always feel the need to put some cream on top, right? Well, you don’t have to give up on this tradition any more. Nowadays you can find coconut milk almost everywhere and it’s totally ready-to-use. We guarantee you won’t even notice the difference!

2. Experiment with the sauces

It’s always a good idea to have a tasty sauce at hand. Unfortunately (for those of you who’re following the Easter traditions), most types of sauces are made of what? Something plus dairy products like mayo, for instance. How to replace them, though, and still have the perfect addition to your dish? The answer is simple. Experiment!

3. Coconut butter and avocado

The perfect combination for a vegan! Firstly, you can use coconut butter for cooking over heat as well as for preparing sauces and even desserts. On the other side, avocado might be an amazing addition to a toasted bread. Yummy!

4. Go for the nuts

Expect for nut milk (like the coconut that we mentioned) you might get creative in the kitchen. What do we mean? Try making your own nut milk using cashews, walnuts, almonds or any other nuts you like. When you strain the vegan milk version, there will be a thick paste left. You can always use it for pesto and similar sauces. Again, the choices are countless!

5. Frozen bananas instead of ice cream

How about this, huh?! Sounds like something you should definitely give a try! Plus, it’s simple to make. Peel and slice a banana and then freeze it for a couple of hours. After that you will most probably have a 100% natural fruit ice cream, which you made yourself! Did you like this article?
