Hey Chicks,
Hope you are all having a fabulous week! We are in our last week of Jan Bootcamp and getting ready to start our sweat sessions for Feb (next session starts Feb 6th so join us!) and in one of our last classes, we were chatting nutrition. A great question came up from one of my chicks about milk. She has been having reactions to dairy (ie bloating, breakouts and lots of phlegm – yuck!) and is most likely lactose intolerant as are alot of chicks. Dairy is one of the hardest things for our bodies to break down so what else is there out there….check it out!
CHICKTASTIC SUBSTITUTIONS FOR DAIRY
- Almond Milk (really great in tea, coffee or baking as it is a neutral flavour)
- Coconut Milk
- Rice Milk
- Cashew Milk
- Hemp Milk
All should be available in any major grocer now where as before you would have to get from the health food store. Just make sure you choose the unsweetened kind as many are packed with sugar to make them take better.
Or even better, try making your own! My personal fave is coconut milk (which is not the juice in the centre of the coconut but is pressed from the flesh). Check out this recipe
You can also make your own nut milk (ie almond or cashew) but I suggest to use a nut milk bag to avoid the chunks- gross!
It may be a little trial and error to find what dairy substitute works for you but test it out, your belly will thank you!)
Have a fab day,
Laura
