I cut out dairy to clean my acne and yet

cream and have my sweet potato fries

today's video I'm going to teach you how
to go dairy free the easy way so that
you never feel like you're missing out
[Music]
hello my name is Madison date and I help
women get smart about their bodies and
understand their symptoms so that they
can heal naturally in today's video I'm
going to give you some solid tips on how
I make dairy-free life easier than it
sounds
the key is not to cut out the taste and
texture of dairy altogether but to find
really good substitute and if you're
worried about the difference in taste I
promise you you will adapt so my first
favorite substitute is for milk and that
is almond milk now I never honestly
never thought that I would get used to
Armand milk I always used to think it
smelt like play-doh but I can promise
you that now I can't even tell the
difference I even have it in my arts and
I can't even identify the taste at all
it just kind of is my normal now so I'll
show you the one that I really like just
to say do you need to find the almond
milks that have the good ingredients
because there are a lot that have
anti-caking agents sugars and just a
whole bunch of stuff that you don't need
and definitely aren't healthy
alternatives so what are my brands that
I like to use is the pure harvest almond
milk this isn't actually the one I use
this is original but I use the
unsweetened one not because of being
conscious of sugar or anything like that
although that's good too but because the
unsweetened one actually separates less
in coffee and if you've tried to make a
coffee with a bad I'm a milk that
separates it looks disgusting I might
even try and put some of this in water
and show you what it looks like but it's
gross so this is just the one that mom
had lying around because she uses it in
cooking
I can use this one for my oak because it
doesn't matter if it separates but what
you do need to be aware of is that
lactose free milk is not dairy free
it's just lactose free so basically when
you are lactose intolerant I can talk
about this more in another video but
when you're lactose intolerant it's
because you're intolerant to the lactose
and so what they do in lactose free milk
is they put a lactase enzyme in it that
kind of eats a whole the lactose and
therefore you have milk without lactose
in it but you still have milk so it used
to be dairy free not dairy free I used
to be lactose intolerant but for some
reason I just grew out of it so this one
is now just chilling in the cupboard
unused and you can actually see the
ingredients the only ingredient in this
is skim milk and lactase so still milk
whereas the ingredients in this one
filtered water organic activated almonds
organic rice syrup and sea salt and the
one that I use the unsweetened one
doesn't have the rice syrup in it
because it's unsweetened it has brown
rice something I don't know but it's not
a sweetener so yeah I recommend this one
this isn't the best one there is that
don't separate there is an even better
one I can't remember the brand and lots
of coffee shops use it but it has an
anti-caking agents in it and it has
sugar so even though it's a nice little
treat it's not what I would like to be
having in my fridge so products that are
advertised to be better for you because
they're dairy free it doesn't mean that
they're healthy so I can go down the
health food store
and you find all these biscuits and you
find all these this like I don't know
random stuff that has dairy free on the
packet but then it's packed with sugar
so even if you're going dairy-free for
your acne and then you're using an
almond milk that the third ingredient is
sugar sugar also causes acne so you
might just be doing a bit of a catch
to this so just make sure that you
always read the ingredients list
the second substitute is one of my
dairy-free favorites and it's aioli so I
think dairy-free mayor is easy to come
by maybe but I don't really like
mayonnaise but I love aioli especially
as like a dipping sauce so I went to the
health food store and I actually found a
dairy-free aioli just to say and it is
this one YUM
it is naked firing foods I'll hold it up
I don't know if it's focusing and
depends which health food store you go
to I think the first store I went to it
was ten dollars but then I went to a
different one then the next time I had
to buy it when I ran out and I think
this one was only eight dollars so I
know that that sounds expensive for a
Olli but it is a pretty big jar and you
just don't really have a Olli with heaps
of stuff it's kind of like a spread so
it lasts ages and it yeah it's perfect
it's on wraps it's good on everything
and with your chips so yeah I am just
super super stoked that this exists I
don't even care that it's ten dollars
and my next favorite substitute is
carrillo ice cream you know I'm not sure
if I like all the flavors I do remember
once upon a time having some of my
sisters salt salted caramel one and not
really liking it but I reckon if I tried
it now I'm probably used to the taste
but I transitioned into dairy free ice
cream by getting a coconut ice cream
I think the soy ones taste disgusting
but if you're used to soy milk that I'm
sure that that'll work for you there are
also sources that say soy is bad for you
so
I just avoid it but um Co yo yeah it's
just not I haven't found it in bullies
or coals which sucks they have the
yogurt but they don't have the ice cream
but my trick into to transitioning into
dairy free ice cream is to have a
vanilla flavored one
so my first flavor that I really was
like yes I can actually eat this as ice
cream and without covering it in like
chocolate sauce or whatever is that you
nutmeg in vanilla one so I really like
that flavor but mum bought this the
other day and I tried it and I think
because it still has the vanilla in it
it hides the fact that it is courier or
just hide the fact that it is a
dairy-free or healthy alternative this
is a little bit more expensive I think
it's like $13 a tub and obviously you
can go through your ice cream a lot
quicker than you can go through aioli
which sucks but it's dairy-free and it
means that you don't have to miss out on
ice creams so you got to do what you got
to do okay so the next one that I
recommend is avocado now I know that
avvocato isn't exactly a substitute for
dairy but it's really good for its
creamy texture when I have avocados on
tacos it kind of means that I'm not
missing the cheese and the sour cream so
it's still getting that nice creamy
texture so I've found that I am
definitely eating more avocado since
going dairy-free but I know that a lot
of you at home are probably already
obsessed with avocados so that's not a
problem
okay so my next substitute is chocolate
let's start with loving earth trusty
loving earth so my favorite flavor is
the salted caramel flavor I haven't
really heard of a flavor that everyone
absolutely loves and some people prefer
hazelnut some people prefer the creamy
chocolate one and some people prefer
soda caramel they also have through many
other flavors but yeah I've loved this
one since like April or something they
are in health food stores their use
695 or 795 but I have found them on
super pharmacy for 595 so whenever I buy
my probiotics from the super pharmacy
online I chuck in I like to stock up on
these I get like five different blocks
at the same time so this one is a really
good one as well so this one's actually
an almond milk chocolate but this salted
caramel one is so good because obviously
it has the flavor of salted caramel but
what it has that loving of salted
caramel doesn't have is it has like what
are they Carolyn pieces so like
crystallized sugar that's like caramel
and oh so it's like crunchy it's so good
actually we're almost out we've only got
this much left and I'm gonna eat it
right now
so I'll show you the country this if I
can you probably can't see it I'll try
it like
it has like crystal bits I don't know if
they're shimmering for you on the camera
but Allah hey coach good I'm gonna have
to get some more of that long so that's
chocolate and as far as cakes go
obviously you can go to different cafes
and stuff and they make their own cakes
but it turns already made what like ones
that you can buy I really love the blue
dinosaur lamington bar so so good and it
tastes just like a real lamington but
maybe even better like it's it's
chocolatey its yummy I love it I haven't
really tried any of the other blue
dinosaur bars I've heard the banana
bread one is good but yeah I just really
love the lemon one and I'm kind of
scared to try any others because they're
like four dollars 50 a bar but yeah
the best part about all those
substitutes that I just gave you is that
you don't have to cook them you don't
have to do anything to prepare them so
obviously there are healthier
alternatives if you cook them yourself
but I'm not really big into cooking it's
just it's good that those substitutes
are things that you can just access
straight away they're pre-made up and
ready to buy now I do just want to give
you guys some quick tips as well if
you're eating out
two-five dairy-free places really easily
just remember that dairy-free
is vegan so dairy comes from animals so
it comes from a cow or some other
animals you have goat's milk
so if you go to a vegan cafe then that
means that it's going to be dairy-free
also if you have a look if you just go
to like the local surf pub or anything
like that and you look for the symbol
for vegan on the menu you know that
that's going to be dairy-free as well so
that's what I recommend if you're eating
out
please don't get the vegetarian and the
vegan symbols mixed up which is very
common because they both start with v
because vegetarian is obviously that you
don't eat meat whereas the guinness that
you don't have any animal products so if
you're eating vegetarian you're not
necessarily dairy-free so that's just a
little tip for when you're eating out
otherwise if you find say for example I
know this is gonna sound super lame but
they had a farm E on their menu and so I
asked for the source for heme and then
not the cheese now it was interesting
because in the oven it just kind of like
crisping up the ham and there was no
cheese to kind of melt over the top but
it was better than just a schnitzel
because I got
tomato paste actually I think it was
pretty subbing because the tomato paste
I'm not saying I recommend that
combination but I'm just saying that you
can take things that have dairy and ask
if they will tweak a few things or leave
off the cheese or you know if there's
mashed potato then instead maybe you can
get fries or I don't know there's
options so is that just some easy ways
that you can eat out dairy free as well
now the biggest worry that I hear about
people going dairy free is that well
other than the fact they can't have ice
cream in all their favorite treats is
that they aren't going to get their
calcium dietary requirements but dairy
is not even the highest source of
calcium in the diet so just make sure
that you are having leafy greens because
they are actually the calcium inland is
actually more bioavailable so it means
that it absorbs into your body easier so
I will put up a list or a chart from a
textbook of the bioavailability of
calcium in certain foods and it's
actually things like cauliflower bok
choy broccoli and that's actually
something that I learned in my nutrition
lecture next week at last week is that
Cal see you don't need dairy to get your
calcium but that's all from me for today
