Cooking and Baking Lactose FREE

If you have a lactose allergy, it doesn’t mean that you have to skip your favorite recipes with milk. Melissa d’Arabian was on the Today Show recently making chicken in creamy mushroom sauce using LACTAID® Milk with a side dish your whole family can enjoy.

Doesn’t that look delicious? Yes, it does! If you are a gluten-free family like we are, you can easily use gluten-free noodles in the recipe. We recently purchased a ice cream maker and have enjoyed putting it to good use this summer.

I found this recipe on the LACTAID(r) website.

Double-Berry Ice Cream

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
4 cups LACTAID® Whole Milk
3 eggs, beaten
1 (12 ounce) package frozen lightly sweetened red raspberries
1 (10 ounce) package frozen strawberries in syrup

Preparation

In a large saucepan combine sugar and gelatin. Stir in LACTAID® Whole Milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat. Whisk about 1 cup of the hot mixture into beaten eggs; return all to saucepan. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture coats a metal spoon (temperature will be about 175 to 180 degrees F). Do not boil. Stir in raspberries and strawberries. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled. (Mixture will be very thick after chilling.)

Transfer the mixture to a 4- or 5-quart ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions. Makes about 2 quarts.

I hope these recipes will show you that you do not have to miss out on delicious food if you have a lactose allergy. For more information, make sure to visit the LACTAID(r) website.

A Milk We Really Like #Lactaid

Lactose intolerant does not have to be a problem. You do not have to stop drinking milk forever. We are just finally coming to this realization. L has had an intolerance to milk since she was very young. Vanilla Soy Milk was her choice of milk for the longest time but I started reading up on soy and wanted to give her another choice.

The Motherhood contacted me to see if I would like to work with them on a campaign with Lactaid. I was eager so L could try out this milk option. There were a few worries as she is a very picky person with her drink and food choices.

What exactly is Lactose Intolerant?

• Most people produce that natural enzyme, lactase, which breaks down lactose (sugar in milk). The amount of lactase your body produces will determine how much lactose your body can break down

• Everyone has different levels of lactose intolerance

• It is common for lactose intolerance to be progressive; many people develop a lactose intolerance later in life.

What is LACTAID?

• LACTAID® products without stomach discomfort so they can enjoy the creamy, delicious taste of dairy that they love

• LACTAID provides the lactase that the body can’t produce enough of, which helps you break down lactose

• LACTAID® Products can help people who have a lactose sensitivity to digest dairy Dairy Products are 100% real dairy, just with a natural yeast-derived

• Lactose-Free Products include Milks, Cottage Cheese, Ice Cream and is the nation’s #1 lactose-free dairy brand.

Tips for eating with Lactose Intolerance:

• Important note: if someone who is lactose intolerant consumes products containing lactose on an empty stomach, they will be more prone not to tolerate it. Eating lactose with other food will help you digest it more easily

• Many lactose-intolerant people find that yogurt doesn’t bother them

o Yogurt has live and active cultures in it that help digest the lactose

o Greek yogurt has double the protein and fewer carbs, which means less lactose and easier to digest

o If tolerated, yogurt is a great way to get nutrients and calcium needed in an everyday diet!

• Rule of thumb for eating cheese: the harder the cheese, the less moisture or whey in it—as a result, the less lactose in it.

We are looking forward to see how this works with L’s diet. She was not an almond milk fan at all, so we were both excited to try this milk. It tastes just like regular milk. The taste is what won me over right away. I will keep you posted on our changeover to Lactaid. Also, I love that Lactaid has an ice cream line too.

LACTAID® Ice Cream

• Available in 5 flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, Strawberries & Cream, Butter Pecan

• All flavors of ice cream except for Cookies & Cream are gluten free

• Half-cup of chocolate ice cream is 160 calories and 8 grams of fat
