Easy Ways To Eliminate Dairy Without Losing Taste

Try Cashews In Place Of Cheese Sauce

When blended in a cream sauce, cashews are surprisingly creamy and take on the consistency of cheese. Die-hard cheese sauce lovers may notice a slight difference in taste, but the appearance is exactly like real cheese so adding this sauce to your dish will at least make it look the same. With some help though, most will not notice the difference.

In a high-speed blender, mix the following until creamy: one and one-half cups raw cashews, three tablespoons lemon juice, three quarter cups water, one and one-half teaspoons sea salt, one quarter cup nutritional yeast, one half teaspoon chili powder, one half glove of garlic, one-half teaspoon mustard and a pinch of turmeric and cayenne pepper. Use as needed to replace cheese sauce.

Get Creative With Bagel Toppings

If grabbing a bagel on your way to work is part of your morning ritual, try experimenting with other toppings in place of cream cheese. These might include roasted red pepper hummus, peanut butter, raw honey, or even a few slices of avocado and turkey. If you have a few extra minutes, try topping your bagel with a poached egg and some natural, sugar-free jelly for a healthy dairy-free treat that is just as tasty as the real thing. There are even non-dairy cheeses out there, such as cashew cheese, that can help individuals make the transition.
