Lose Weight With Dairy Free Whipped Cream

By Ryan Phillips


Those who cook at home may sometimes find themselves at a loss when it comes to making a dessert to follow dinner. After preparing the salad, along with the main course and appropriate side dishes, few have time for dessert. The good news is that there are many treats that are fast and healthy that are better when topped with a little dairy free whipped cream.

There are many foods that contain some form of animal milk and more people are choosing alternatives that offer more health advantages. The majority of milk products made from nuts or plants have less sugar, and more protein and essential nutrients. For many, nondairy products are easier on the digestive system and have less saturated fat.

Other tricks of the trade include creating a colorful fruit bowl. While some people prefer to use fresh fruit, most grocery stores sell this already chopped and seeded for immediate consumption. Most commonly prepared fruits are apple slices, blueberries, and pineapple but anyone can choose a theme like all berries or add coconut flakes for a tropical bowl.

Those who have tried the dairy free version mostly say that it actually tastes better than the traditional recipe. One reason is that nuts have their own natural sweetness that complements the dessert. Others say they are just happy to have something creamy that does not contain as much saturated fat as the dairy version.

While there are many recipes to be found, most of these are made from coconut milk, soy, or tofu products, as these have a denser texture. There are also whipped recipes that use cashew or oat milk. The nutrient values for most of these but almost all recipes have zero saturated fat. An advantage to making it at home is being able to add extra ingredients like ground cinnamon or vanilla extract.

For those who have leftover whipped cream, it can be made into a faux ice cream popsicle. Just add a packet of flavored gelatin or hot cocoa mix and stir until even. Place inside small containers that can withstand extreme cold. If there are no popsicle sticks to use, pouring inside a space ice tray with toothpicks is a good idea. Thaw slightly for softness or eat right out of the freezer.

Some just like to eat whipped cream by itself. If there are ripe bananas around the house, these can be blended as a puree and mixed in with the cream. This may be eaten alone or with a little cocoa powder.

This taste sensation is nothing like the oily products of yesteryear that had a chemical aftertaste, which was due to the many preservatives that manufacturers added. Even better, these whips have nutritional value and are not loaded down with white sugar products. There are many recipes out there that satisfy most vegetarian and vegan diets.
