This is a “Let’s Give The Cows A Break” fast

Because we are using milk from almonds! #dairyfreedom I love dairy just as much as the next person, but sometimes I want a breakfast that doesn’t rely on lactose. That means taking all of my fav dishes and ditching the dairy, which is very easy with the help of my 96 oz jug (!!!) of Silk Unsweetened Original Almondmilk. I can’t play around with small cartons when I’m in breakfast-making mode.

We’ve Got Options

In my experience, swapping cow’s milk for plant-based milk like Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk is always appreciated. It’s great in smoothies, puddings, and pancakes (which are the three exact recipes I’m sharing today) plus a ton more!

Recipe #1 Nutty Chocolate Chia Pudding

Chia pudding is a trend I turned my nose up at for a very long time. I couldn’t get past the slimy texture! BUT wait. Hold the phone.  

Add your Silk Almondmilk and puree it with almond butter and you have a breakfast I am into. This version is 100% dairy free, creamy as, well cream, and packed with omega-3’s.

A Note On Chia Pudding: To achieve the proper gel and consistency, I found you really need to blend it with an electronic device (aka not just a spoon). An immersion blender works well and a blender blender works even better.

Then, you gotta let it linger. The chia pudding should live in the refrigerator overnight to be thick like puddin’, or at the very least, four hours. Top it with dairy-free whipped cream and you might not even want to read the next recipes. But you should…
