I recently went dairy-free to see if it will help with my hormonal cystic acne. The downside of dairy-free... well no more dairy (duh); i.e. no more cheese, no more yogurt, no more milk anything! However, there is a plus side which is the new opportunity to discover all of the alternatives in the non-dairy world. I love smoothies, so I was pretty bummed when I had to omit greek yogurt from my smoothies; but at the same time, it hasn't been all that bad with the other types of things I put in my smoothies. Here is one of my favorites:
1/2-1 cup of coconut, hemp, or almond milk (amount is based on how runny you like your smoothie)
1 banana
1 cup (or more) Spinach leaves (get your iron!)
1 Tblsp Almond butter
3/4 cup frozen peaches or fruit of your choosing
Make sure you are adding the liquids first if you are using a standard blender like I do. It's not uncommon to have to mix it up after several seconds of blending. I have always found bananas are essential when wanting that creamy taste when you can't use yogurt.
