FAQ’s

What can I substitute for dairy?

These dairy free desserts use coconut, soy, almonds, cashews, and other creative dairy free and vegan alternatives in place of your typical baking ingredients. There are tons of brands that make swaps for your favorite dairy-filled foods!

How long does it take to get dairy out of your body?

It takes up to three weeks for dairy to fully leave your system after you stop eating it.

What does dairy free mean?

The product does not contain any milk or milk products from cows, sheep or goats. A person that follows a dairy free diet may still eat other animal products (like poultry, beef or fish) but they do not consume any dairy based milk products.

Are eggs considered dairy?

No! This is a common misconception, but eggs are not considered dairy. While eggs may be stored in the dairy aisle and are often grouped with dairy, they’re not a dairy product. Eggs are dairy free.

Are there benefits of cutting out dairy?

About 65% of people have a hard time digesting dairy products like cheese, milk, and yogurt. When dairy is cut out, bloating can decrease.

Many people lack lactase, the enzyme needed to properly digest cow’s milk. If you cut out dairy, you may find that your digestion improves, perhaps making you feel less bloated.

However, dairy has vital nutrients including protein and bone-building calcium and is a good source of vitamin D, which most people are lacking in their diets. Unless you’re avoiding dairy for a medical reason, it is not something I would recommend cutting out.
