2. Swap Out Sour Cream and Milk
Do you suffer from lactose intolerance? Skip the dairy in recipes and use plant-based alternatives instead. Use almond, cashew, or coconut milk in any recipe that calls for the addition of dairy in the ingredients.
It may surprise you to learn that nut milk doesn’t contain any dairy – its only water and nuts. Make almond milk right in your kitchen using nuts and water. Soak the nuts in a nut bag overnight, then squeeze out the liquid the following morning, and bottle it for storage in the fridge. Almond milk is a rich source of healthy fats and vitamins, without the lactose sugars found in traditional cow’s milk.
Traditional gazpacho rarely calls for the addition of milk in a recipe. If you want to give your soup a creamy mouthfeel, try adding avocado. This healthy source of fats, vitamins, and minerals blends easily in the food processor and provides your gazpacho with a deliciously creamy effect that mimics cream.
