Dairy free

Eating dairy free makes me hungry. Suddenly I'm not eating enough protein. It took me hours yesterday, going over my food dairy, trying to work out why I am almost chewing off my own leg with hunger. I don't eat that much meat, it's always too much effort or I don't feel like it. I'd love to be vegetarian, but I couldn't do it all the time. Bacon, for instance, is much too tasty.

Today I am going to try try try to eat the right amount of protein and trytrytry to get some easy to grab snacks for the dairy free/wheat free cupcake on the go. Yesterdays snack was corn thins with Tofutti's Better than Cream Cheese however it contains maltodextrin. I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer to the "can gluten intolerants eat maltodextrin?" If anyone out there knows, please tell me!

Despite the possible gluten in it, Better Than Cream Cheese gets 10/10. It's a little solider than normal cream cheese, so either soften it a little first or take care when spreading. It has slightly more flavour too, which is great since I still need to finish those annoying cardboard Brown Rice Thins. It also lasts longer than a tub of normal cream cheese.

Bonsoy is also another good buy if you're looking for soy. My natropath recommended it and I agree. It doesn't try to be anything but what it is - which isn't milk. It's a darker, more beige colour, it has a nuttier taste which is fantastic in hot cocoa with honey, and, well, it's made by Japanese soy masters. Do soy masters have a code they live by? A uniform? it may be a silly reason to be drinking a type of soy milk but it gives minutes of speculation each time I drink it.
