I have just decided on a whim that I no longer want to support the dairy industry and cut it out of my diet cold turkey. I've already trialed a run and I felt great but it was so difficult. Never realized how much dairy was in my diet in basically everything I ate and it wasn't long before I ran out of things to eat that didn't contain it. Even subjected myself to eating cereal with water which was extremely unpleasant. It's been hard but I know you're the community to ask for help because you've probably went through this sort of thing before.

    I asked my vegan friends and they recommend full fat oat milk, use decent margarine (like the "baking" margarine) instead of butter. They say most vegan cheeses are expensive and don't taste too good, the only good ones they've tried are the ones they made themselves, with psyllium husk and various nuts. This is one of the recipes they recommended

      Is Margarine actually non-dairy? I always thought it was just a chemically synthesized alternative of the same molecule. Psyllium husk... huh never heard of that one before. I should look into it.

        margarine can have dairy, but at its base it's just vegetable oil with a stabiliser to make it harden

        Pretty much all margarine sold where I live is made of vegetable oil so.

        Just make sure it doesn't have any added cream or anything.

          apparently where I live it's illegal to sell marge that contains dairy. That's good to know and makes my life so much easier.
