Problem — Here Are 5 Ways to Make Creamy Sauces Without It
You can't live on
dairy alone, which is why it's so important also to use alternative ways to
make sauces and cream. Here are five of our favorite ways:
1. Coconut cream
or milk
Coconut milk? It
sounds like a dream come true for those allergic to dairy for years! Thanks to
the nutrient-packed fatty acids in coconut, you get all the benefits without
unwanted effects. The cream in coconut milk is a must-have; opt for it over
dairy cream, which contains gelatin and other additives that may not be good
for your gut health. Use these instead!
Dairy-Free yogurt is a great dairy-free option that can make creamy
sauces. It's made with thick, protein-packed coconut milk, satisfying and
filling for these filling dishes. Just add in your favorite fruit or sweetener
to taste, and you're good to go!
Nuts and seeds are
both vegan-friendly alternatives to dairy. They have a similar creamy texture,
thanks to their high-fat content. Just be mindful of serving sizes! The
high-fat content in nuts and seeds can lead to weight gain if not consumed in
moderation.
Silken Tofu is a
variety of tofu with a creamier, custard-like texture because it comes from
coagulated soy milk or soybean. Silken tofu is much softer and smoother than
other varieties of tofu, and its surface can be likened to soft cheese.
Winter squash is a
complex winter vegetable. These vegetables are generally cooked before
consumption to soften the flesh and remove the seeds. Winter squash varieties
are available all year round, but it is higher in antioxidants when consumed
during their growing season.
