Dairy alternatives

shotzie · June 2011

DD is allergic to dairy, soy, and eggs. She still nurses 4 times a day and I also give her rice milk + brown rice protein powder sometimes. I was wondering if anyone could recommend non-dairy, non-soy butter and cheese. And is there a good egg replacer? I know about using flax seed meal and water, but is there another product out there to use in place of eggs? Thanks!

Earth balance has An awesome dairy and soy free butter. Ener-g is a great egg replacer, and I just tried daiysa (sp?) cheese. The cheese wasn't to bad. Image quesadillas with it, and plan on making pizza with it too. I found all 3 at whole foods.

exactly

i use all three and love it (it's dayia cheese - took me a while to get the spelling right for some reason)

this is the butter - i use it on EVERYTHING. i put some in his pasta, on bread, in baking. it replaced regular butter in my house.

this is the cheese - sprinkle it on hot pasta all the time and it melts like the real thing. I use it in practically everything. Makes great pizza.

this is the Ener-g replacer. You can also use apple sauce for baking. Obviously neither replace scrambled eggs. The only thing i came close to is pureed cauliflower and flour for that consistency as scrambled eggs -but boy was it nasty!

We used that butter to, it was great. I found it Wegmans and once at Walmart... be very careful reading the label because there are a couple different versions. I would imagine any store with a large organic section would carry it.

On my blog I've listed a bunch of brands of dairy and soy free items. I'm not very good at keeping up on it these days, but the link is in my siggy.

I agree with PP, all great products. I wish we could use that butter but all their varities either have pea protein or soy and dd can't have either

Thanks so much! I am glad to have recommendations from people who've actually used those products. This is all new to me.

As for butter, I use the soy-free (red label version) of Earth Balance. It bakes well (except for cookies) and tastes very close to real butter when spread on bread. I practically buy all I can find whenever they carry it at Whole Foods (it's not as well stocked as the other brands).

I have used it in my cookie recipes just fine. If you find that you have a problem you can always replace it w/shortening or a shortening substitute (palm oil, coconut oil, etc).

We use the Earths Balance Soy/Dairy Free "butter" as well. LO loves it on his pancakes, pasta, waffles etc...

We haven't tried any dairy/soy free cheeses yet.
