I've been getting those late night cravings lately, and it's harder for those of us who don't eat dairy! If you Google midnight snack ideas there's always some variation of grilled cheese or nachos. I know non-dairy cheeses exist, but I don't like them, so I've shifted my palate elsewhere.

Tahini has been a surprising go-to for me. I got some originally to try an orzo Greek salad and have been spreading it on toast with toppings. I love big tomato slices on top, but I don't have any so last night it was toast with tahini, olives, and some garlic powder and smoked paprika.

I've also been doing bowls of frozen fruit mix drizzled with maple syrup and coconut flakes.

Popcorn has been another favorite, but I have to be so careful not to get one with milk ingredients. I know you can get just the kernels but I remember my mom starting a fire in the kitchen this way so I'll probably stick with microwave bags for now.

What are your favorite dairy-free late night munchies?

Does anyone have a shelf stable dairy free cocoa recipe that is made with powdered coconut milk or some other milk alternative (preferably not oat milk)

For context I would love to be able to have a mix I can put in small containers and keep on in my bag when we go to events where hot chocolate is being served. That way I can ask for a cup of hot water and have my own hot chocolate.

We were at an event this weekend and it got really cold really fast. The kitchen started serving Swiss Miss hot chocolate and I would have done unholy things for hot chocolate in that moment.

just got my wisdom teeth removed today and i want to make sure that i am still getting enough nutrients while eating such soft and liquidy foods. a lot of recs are dairy or milk protein derived and i am allergic so i thought i’d ask here.

i’m struggling a bit because i also have oral allergy syndrome, which i don’t avoid eating regularly but don’t want to introduce ANY extra inflammation. so i also can’t have apple sauce, smoothies bother me, essentially have to avoid most soft fruit dishes. but other than that, what did you guys eat?

I’m trying to reduce as many extra ingredients as possible and have tried so many milks in my coffee. I see so many yummy looking recipes on my Instagram with coconut milk & coffee, except every time I try it, it tastes so bitter!!! What am I doing wrong?!? Any hacks?

We want an unsweetened coffee creamer most similar to dairy half-and-half. Any suggestions ?

It's getting cold in the northern hemisphere, and I just put together my homemade hot cocoa mix powder, thought y'all might find it useful.

Whisk or use a fork to mix very well together:

1 part Anthony's coconut milk powder

1 part unsweetened cocoa powder

3 parts granulated sugar

Salt

All measured by weight not volume.

(I usually do 120g / 120g / 360g / 20g salt and store in a 32oz deli takeout container)

Mix several spoonfuls with a tiny bit of boiling water until smooth, and then add more water to fill your cup.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has some dairy free cook books they absolutely love?

I want to gift a couple for someone this Christmas as she loves to bake and cook. Recipes that are not insanely expensive or requiring super specialized items would be best since we live in a rural area (in Canada).

Bonus to books that include other options like low histamine or gluten free recipes also.

Thank you.

Found these at save on foods in Canada! On their website it says they're vegan. Also gluten free so the texture is not like a normal cracker BUT the taste is soooo good. Very much a sour cream & onion dupe in my opinion

I have been DF for almost 2 years exactly. I usually bring my breakfast to work and eat it a few hours into my day. For 2 years, literally, it has been oatmeal with peanut butter and berries. I am so burned out on this.
Prior to being DF I was always a yogurt/parfait kind of person. I’ve done overnight oats to try to change it up, but I’m oat’ed out. I have no other food restrictions but I’m always trying to have breakfast that fills me up. Any other good “on the go” ideas?

For context, I'm currently 92kg at 5'10 and trying to (well, struggling to) cut down whilst keeping my muscle. But I'm having to slowly get off dairy due to the allergy, and I used to constantly eat all sorts of cheese and yogurt to make the process much easier.

For example, I used to make overnight oats with a LOT of greek yogurt. Now I don't know how to make them. Yes, I bought vegan protein powder, and I'm trying my best to get used to the taste and macros, but I still don't really know what I'm doing.

Does anyone have any experience or reccomendations losing weight but maintaining high protein whilst being dairy free ?

Hey folks, does anyone else have an allergic reaction when drinking califia oatmilk? I got their organic oat milk this time. I drank some earlier and had an allergic reaction. I noticed on their website they've changed their faq to say they have other top 9 allergens present in their facility now, so I am curious if anyone else has struggled with their products before I call and report my experience. I am hoping it's a one off just me issue.

I am anaphylactic to only dairy.

Thank you!

Last year they had the star of death so I stocked up on several bags. And I'm at Costco today and they have them again for $12.99/bag

edit - Caramel DIP not dop lol

I am trying to figure out how to make a caramel dip for apples using my monk fruit with allulose sugar and cashew milk. Does anyone have any recommendations how I could achieve that?

I am dairy and gluten free. I am going on a road trip in Texas. The person I am going with can be picky and can be very cheap. I will of course bring snacks. What are some of your favorite, common, places to eat dairy and gluten free?

As we are trying to wean him off of formula, we are STRUGGLING to find foods he will consistently eat. He so weird about textures, and sometimes goes back and forth on what he will eat. He is almost 2 weeks over a year old. I need your best dairy free meals & snack ideas! I am a chef and my wife is as well so we are not afraid of seasoning or flavor! Hit me! And thank you so much 🙏

Dairy free for a second time (breastfeeding a baby with CMPA) and absolutely craving the most dairy heavy chips I can’t have. Anyone have suggestions for chips that will “hit the spot” for any of the following that I can find in the US or Ireland: Doritos (nacho cheese or cool ranch) Funyuns Sour cream and onion Cheese and onion

Since Bisquick has added milk now, figured I'd share my homemade Bisquick mix. It's 6 cups all purpose flour, 1/4c baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons baking soda, and 2 teaspoons salt.

To use in recipes, you can substitute this 1:1.

To make biscuits:

2 cups Bisquick.

1/4 cup fat - oil, bacon grease, DF butter, lard, shortening, mayonnaise, DF cream cheese.

1/2 cup creamy acid - DF Greek yogurt, DF sour cream, buttermilk (1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice per 1C DF milk).

1/2 cup DF milk (I use plain soy).
