Whether you have a lactose allergy or are just trying to stay away from dairy products, you can still enjoy a variety of keto recipes. Here are 50 of my favorite keto recipes that are free from milk, cheese, yogurt, and all dairy products!
A DAIRY-FREE DIET
More and more people are deciding to go dairy-free as lactose and milk intolerance becomes more common. There are also many people who decide to cut dairy out of their diet because they simply feel better without it!
All milk that comes from a mammal is considered to be dairy along with all of the products, like cheese and butter, that are made from it. With these products being a big part of the American diet, it can be very difficult to make this change in your diet. It can be even harder if you are following another diet such as keto, paleo, or low-carb; however, there are many recipes out there to help you with this!
That is where this list of 50 dairy-free keto recipes come to the rescue! These recipes are full of flavor, free from dairy, and won’t leave you craving dairy-heavy food!
HOW CAN I EAT KETO AND DAIRY-FREE?
Although many dairy products can be great options for people following a keto diet, it is certainly possible to avoid dairy while maintaining this high fat, low-carb diet. There are a few substitutes for dairy products that are great for creating a creamy, cheesy, or thick texture that many dairy-containing keto recipes include.
Coconut oil, for example, can be used to replace butter because it has a similar texture and fat content, but is derived from coconuts rather than milk. For milk, nut and soy milks are a perfect substitute in keto recipes. Another ingredient that makes dairy-free, keto recipes creamy is mayonnaise, which surprisingly doesn’t contain any dairy!
With these ingredient substitutes, you can make thousands of dairy-free recipes that are also keto! Below are 50 of my favorite!
