Sensitive to Dairy? Sample Milk Substitutes
| For those who can’t digest dairy but still long for creaminess in their eggs or some sweetness in their oatmeal, there are plenty of milk substitutes (think soy, almond or coconut milk). You can also make batches of your own substitutes, such as cashew milk: Place a cup of cashews, two cups of water, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of honey in a blender and mix on high for about a minute. Strain the mixture and you’ll end up with about two cups of milk that will last in the fridge for four days. You can add it to cereal, coffee or a smoothie. Cashews have protein, iron and healthy fats, but very little calcium or vitamin D, so you'll need to find alternative sources for those nutrients. Soymilk is often fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Check labels. (Photo: Lane Oatey/Blue Jean/blue jean images/Getty Images) The Full Story from iVillage.com |
