This time of the year is somewhat difficult for those of us with food allergies, I’m lucky enough to have families that understand and are mindful and even prepare extra side dishes just for me. There are people that still won’t understand why or what it feels like to be at a family gathering and have to watch others eat something that you were able to eat for years and are actually hungry for as well, but knowing that if you eat it could be detrimental for your health for days and sometimes weeks to come. The best way I could explain it is think of a drug addict around their drug of choice all day long, watching people do it in front of them, seeing the commercials on tv advertising for it, going places with your family and passing by places of business and smelling it. It really is hard being around it all day, everyday. I’m not asking people to be sympathetic, just mindful. Put yourself in our shoes for once. Much love to all💜 this post was not meant to offend, only to help others to understand what it feels like. So please nothing negative.
Hooray - im back as i've found another amazing 10 dairy free/Vegan* snacks to write my 3rd blog post on!!
Not all are Vegan but not sure what's in them to make them not plant based🤷♀️ sorry!)
Let's go:
11. Aldi 52% salted dark chocolate🍫
This chocolate is just the best (along with number 12 but this one wins as its cheaper🤷♀️). I used to HATE dark chocolate before I was dairy free but grown to love it - I think being salted helps and its in little bars which helps me not to eat the whole lot in one sitting 👍
12. Tony's almond sea salt dark chocolate🍫
It's pretty pricy but occasionally on offer and found in most supermarkets. It's chunky and delicious. The texture is quite nutty but it doesn't taste too almondy which I wouldnt like personally- just very rich salty dark chocolate.
13. Vegan Kitkats 🍫
These are amazing as they pretty much taste like a normal milk chocolate kitkat. Bad thing is I can't seem to ever find them anywhere except in a tesco meal deal which I now buy a lot more of for this reason. I've also asked my local convenience store to stock them haha 😄
14. Asda apple pies 🍏 🥧
So good - and not dry like I thought they may be being also gluten free. I mean its kind of healthy having apple in right? Starting to realise how unhealthy all my snack recommendations are lol...oh well yolo (and maybe for less time with all this cholesterol lol...dw I've joined a gym finally!)
15. Tesco Pesto 🍃
Alright this isn't a snack...but i just love Pesto so much. I am so glad there are quite a few dairy free Pestos in the supermarket and this one is probably my fav so far I've tried. I add half a jar with a little low fat mayo or dairy free yoghurt/cream to add to pasta (usually with mushrooms, chicken, bacon lardons or chorizo, sweetcorn and rocket). I even took 2 jars to Italy with me as thought it may be a struggle to get vegan food out there (turns out I was right!). See below my Italian michelangelo inspired version lol
16. Nomo caramel chocolate 🍫
More chocolate. I told you in my first post I'm a chocolaholic and woohoo for now having 3 favourite dairy free ones. This is my 3rd favourite and found in most supermarkets now!
17. ASDA vegan lemon muffins 🍋
These taste just like my old homemade Lemon drizzle cake (which used to be packed with dairy butter) - crunchy sugary top and soft crumbly cake, sooo good. The chocolate ones were okay too...but not as good as the Lemon. We need a break on this post from chocolate too haha!!
18. Vegan butter
Talking of butter - this one I find tasty for cooking/toast (which can be a snack before you comment lol - or with crumpets/butter biscuits - without butter obv haha) and it apparently lowers your cholesterol too 🤷♀️ win win!! Sorry for the photo bombing foot😅
19. Applewood vegan burger cheese 🧀 🍔
The app is saying there is a limit of 10 photos. Boooo! This is my favourite sliced cheese for burgers (normal cheese favourite on 2nd post). Applewood was literally my favourite cheese before last year and this isn't a bad dairy free version at all - just has to be a little melted! Okay no defence here, this is not a snack
20. Turns out I don't have any more, I lied.. - just 9 for this post folks!! Hope it's helpful😁🥰
