    As for those top dairy-free recipes, I gathered a talented group of recipe creators – ranging from cookbook authors to fitness professionals – and asked them for a healthier spin on one of their favorites to help motivate and satiate any challengers.

      I am delighted that there are so many dairy alternatives available today. I am 59 and had to give up dairy when I was 12. My dad was a chiropractor and linked my migraines and back aches to my consumption of dairy. Thanks for all the non-dairy recipes, suggestions and alternatives!

        That is fantastic that your dad identified the problem when you were so young! I’ve had many people email that it took decades of suffering with symptoms before they linked the problem to dairy! Glad you like my website 🙂
