Having a child has changed my body and life more than I could have ever imagined. From trying to lose the baby weight, to finding the diet that works best for me and my baby while breastfeeding, it has been an absolute roller coaster! I always assumed I would be the exception (just like everyone else in the world does). But, when the baby weight didn’t start melting off, and my little one was in pain all the time from gas, I knew I had to make a lifestyle change. After doing a bit of my own research, I decided to try cutting all dairy out of my diet.
Man, you never realize how much dairy you can consume until you decide to leave it out of your life completely! Since baking and food is a large part of my life, it was going to be difficult to come up with recipes that would stick with my new lifestyle. So, while browsing around Target one day (like I always am), I came across So Delicious Dairy Free Organic Almondmilk– and decided to give it a try as a dairy substitute- and it has worked like a charm and is “so delicious” on its own, and I even have my husband drinking it now!
Lucky for you, if you want to give it a try, Target currently has a Cartwheel Promotion for 20% off your purchase of So Delicious Dairy Free Almondmilk from 2/18/18-3/17/18! I mean, as if you really need an excuse to go browse the dollar spot and meander up and down every aisle twice (please don’t tell my husband this is what I do).
Ever since making the change and cutting out dairy, my little one has been so much happier! While it has been hard at times, I don’t think I could ever go back! I have been able to come up with some pretty fun recipes too, my favorite being a chocolate pound cake that is also vegan friendly. Without one bit of butter, milk, or an egg in sight, this cake is surprisingly moist and spongy with a rich dark chocolate flavor. I like to top it with a thin icing glaze, and then proceed to eat the entire cake myself, but that’s just me. 😉
