4 Dairy Free Foods That Taste As Good As The Originals

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FIT chapter.

Being lactose intolerant or having a sensitivity to dairy can be annoying, to say the least. If you are anything like me, then you know the struggle of trying to find dairy-free foods that also taste good. Well, look no further. Here are my top favorite dairy-free items that taste as good, maybe even better, then the originals!

1. Daiya Cream Cheese Spread

If you are used to Philadelphia cream cheese spread but have been avoiding it due to dairy, this cream cheese spread tastes the same and can be eaten without any worry. Now you can go back to enjoying your favorite bagels all the time. 

2. Immaculate Double Chocolate Cookies

Having a sweet tooth and being lactose intolerant is not ideal. However, these cookies are a  game-changer. These delicious double chocolate cookies satisfy your cravings and contain no traces of dairy. Just stick them on a pan, bake, and enjoy. 

3. Lactaid Milk

Milk is one of those ingredients that is hard to avoid, but with Lactaid milk, it is an easy substitute. Enjoy the same great taste of milk, just without dairy. There is also Almond Milk, Cashew Milk, Oat milk, and many more that make a great replacement as well. 

4. Annie’s Vegan Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese is definitely one of my favorite foods, and this vegan mac is so creamy and delicious, that you would never know it doesn’t contain dairy. This dish is perfect for those days you need a bit of comfort food.
