A few weeks ago I told you guys about Lactaid and the absolute benefits and variety of these products that are made for those of us who have a hard time digesting dairy. I use it all the time and am so happy to see that there are a variety of products on the market.
But did you know that you can also make some of your favorite things with Lactaid? Cookies, cakes, sauces… well, anything that calls for milk. And the taste is still amazing and the benefits are just as good!
I am currently on a staycation in Houston. I love having fruit smoothies in the morning. But I knew that the hotels I was staying at would not have Lactaid. So I stopped at the store on my way in town and picked up a half gallon. This morning, I got up and made a super smooth, super delicious Strawberry Mango Smoothie with Lactaid milk.
There is a wonderful recipe for a Strawberry Papaya recipe on the Lactaid Recipes website that I followed. I just substituted Mango.
The recipe is simple
3/4 cup Mango
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
1 cup LACTAID Reduced or Fat Free Milk
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
ice
strawberries for garnish
fresh mint if you want
I threw it all in my blender and wala – a smooth, creamy, healthy smoothie to start my day!
It was so easy and I know that I won’t have any stomach issues later on today from my smoothie. I use all kinds of things in smoothies that this recipe would work with. Blueberries, pineapple, watermelon and I am dying to try an avacado smoothie. I just haven’t gathered the nerve yet!
