79 Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Recipes
For people on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet, it can be challenging to find quality recipes that have lots of flavor. In this round-up I share 79 delicious gluten-free dairy-free recipes that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.
Why Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free?
More and more people are cutting out gluten and dairy from their diets. There are many reasons, including the fact that gluten and dairy are among the most common food allergies. But, there is also research showing that a gluten-free and dairy-free diet can help with inflammation, autoimmunity, and other health conditions including PCOS, Hashimoto’s thyroid disease, and more.
See my tips for starting a gluten-free, dairy-free diet.
What Can You Eat?
Many people panic when they realize they can’t eat their favorite dishes that are made with milk, cheese, yogurt, wheat, or wheat flours. It’s true that many cuisines are based around using foods like pasta, cream, and flour.
But, the good news is that it’s much easier to find gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives these days. Or, you can simply use real food alternatives that are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free (see my entire clean eating shopping list).
Most grocery stores are actually packed with foods that can fit with this type of diet, including lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats like avocados, nuts and seeds, and more. And there are plenty of naturally gluten-free grains that you can use including rice, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, and more (see my list of the best gluten-free carbohydrates).
I’ve personally been eating GF/DF for almost a decade now, and I have found it to be a sustainable way to manage my autoimmune disease and PCOS (see my clean eating transformation).
