Growing older in age and in wisdom has been one of the coolest parts of growing older. One this that isnt is the foods that we have to alter to either prevent and protect the body from. In recent years there has been more research that shows that dairy products like (cheese, milk, ice cream) are all no so great for you. As a Kid I would easily finish a quart of ice cream within a week on my own. Since the tables have turned and I am no longer a child. I sought out to find dairy free items that would convince me to step away from not only the premium ice cream Publix provides, but also slowing down my meat consumption as well.
Like Meat's Plant Based Meats
I was excited when I found that this item was stocked in a market near my home known as Sprouts. I had no idea what a Sprouts was considering I had never been to one. Ive don't the occasional drive, but never stepped foot in. But now, I had a reason.
After scrolling on there site for quite sometime, I was just blown away by just the appearance alone. They have four selections: Chick'n Nuggets, Grilled Chick'n, Chick,n Pieces, BBQ Chick'n
Ive only had the chance to try the BBQ Chick'n. It was great. I definitely plan on traveling
2. Abbot's Butcher- Premium Plant Based Spanish Smoked "Chorizo"
I don't have many words. Every thing from the time it takes to cook (8-10 mins), the spices (chiles, garlic, smoked paprika), and the amount of protein these babies pack are phenomenal. Im a pork lover, but this will get the job done on a healthier note. They also have ground beef and chicken options which are also plant based.
3. Nubocha Dairy Free Gelato
Being a huge ice cream head I loved everything full of dairy! A college buddy of mine once asked me" Why do you drink whole milk" I proudly boasting back with "Because I'm Wholeman!" As if if it would make me less of a man when drinking low fat/2%. Many many years when I was a young man. I actually had the honor of wielding gynecomastia around for about two years. This is when theres enlarged breast tissue as male. Not only was this discomforting/painful if was also scary. After learning that dairy was one of the contributing factor,unfortunately next was surgery. Fifteen (15) years later I prefer dairy free options because my body thanks me for it. I had the privilege of trying the chocolate arriiba. I hate chocolate ice cream and loved this!
My next favorite to dance my tongue in will be pistachio. It's limited edition!
4. Spero The Original Sunflower Cream Cheese (Plant Based)
This was great find that my wife uses in place of dairy -full cream cheese on her bagels in the morning. Check them out. My first taste was the original. Definitely will be trying the others.
