Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi everyone, I am brand new to the vegetarian list, and this is the first list I have ever joined. I've been doing RR for over 3 years and have recently developed a dairy allergy. Do you have any good ideas for meals that do not use cheese or any dairy products? Thank you so much. I am so looking forward to being here and know I will learn a lot! Judy D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi Judy, Welcome! I'm vegan so in addition to not eating meat I also do not eat eggs or milk products. There are a lot of options. If you are searching for new foods and they say they are vegan then they will not have any dairy in them. Here are some of my favorite meals: Breakfast: 1. Amy's non-dairy bean burrito, and a shake (made with rice protein powder, chocolate almond milk, frozen strawberries, spirulina, part of a banana, and cocoa powder) 2. Grapenuts with almonds and soy milk with Match Meats breakfast sausage on the side (contains no meat or dairy). Many imitation meats have dairy but Match Meats does not. 3. Raw food salad (apple with skin, pear with skin, baby spinach, cinnamon, raisins, walnuts, and celery blended in a food processor). Add rice protein powder, and silken tofu for protein. Lunch: 1. Nachos - get a hearty brand of corn chips (something that feels like food and not " chips " lol) or break up some tack shells. Then dip them or eat them like a salad: vegan refried beans, black beans cooked in taco spices, lettuce, tomato, a hearty whole foods type salsa, and guacamole. 2. Vegan Burger with favorite toppings any form of bean soup on the side. Snack: 1. Whole grain spelt cereal flakes, mixed with peanut butter, plain cocoa powder, and soy or almond milk. Dinner: 1. pretty much any mexican dish with black beans and vegan refried beans instead of meat/cheese 2. pretty much any Italian dish with any form of white bean like navy beans instead of meat/cheese Fast Food: 1. Taco Bell: 7 layer buritto (ask them to hold the sour cream and cheese) 2. Pizza hut: Hand tossed crust is dairy free. You can ask them to not put cheese on it and just add all the veggies. It's actually pretty darn good. Not very high in protein though. : / Fake Cheese: My all time favorite vegan cheese (and I have tried a LOT of them) is somewhat hard to find depending on where you live. It's called PlayFood and they make vegan cheese spreads out of almond paste that is so so so yummy! If you can find it give it a try. I also hear that Tease is supposed to be really good, but I have not had it yet. I hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Judy, I'm also dairy free. For breakfast I usually have a shake with almond milk and hot cereal. For lunches and dinners I'm a huge fan of rice and beans. Basically I have a vegetable, a grain and protein like eggs, beans, nuts, seeds. I also eat a bit of meat, because I find I don't get steady without it, but I've never missed dairy. Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
