2010Milk Allergic/Sensitive Convenience Foods
One of the hardest parts about going dairy free and breastfeeding at the same time is the lack of dairy free convenience foods! Seriously, as if breastfeeding a fussy baby every 2-3 hours wasn’t enough, all of a sudden you’re also forced to make your own snack food because you’re having trouble finding anything dairy free; there just isn’t enough hours in the day! I hope this list of quick things to eat or make will help you on your way.
Dairy-free Snacks and Treats*:
- Fresh Fruit
- Thomas Bagels (Wheat and Cinnamon Raisin for sure)
- Sara Lee Wheat Blueberry Bagels
- Jiffy Cornbread Mix
- Duncan Hines Brownies
- Martha White Muffin Mix (Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Honey Bran, Chocolate Chip for sure)
- Original Sun Chips
- Synder’s Pretzels
- Wheat Thins Tuscan Herb Flat Bread
- Regular Wheat Thins
- Earth Grain Honey Wheat Berry Bread (love this stuff)
- Natures’ Own Bread (Honey Wheat, 7-grain, Wheat)
- Marshmallows
- Graham Crackers
- Quaker Instant Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (our store brand doesn’t have milk either)
- Ritz Crackers
- Pop Tarts
- Nesquick Chocolate Powder (with rice milk this makes a convincing hot chocolate, but it’s less than appetizing with soy or almond milks)
* Always read the labels to ensure that these items are dairy-free. Formulas change from time to time and some companies have different ingredients depending on where the product is manufactured.
Please help me add to this list if you can!

-Most Wise brand chips are dairy free.
-Teddy Grahams (the chocolate ones too!)
-Keebler Fudge Sandwich Bites (yum!)
-Word on the street is that Oreos are also dairy free (even though chocolate is on the ingredient list)
-I also heard that most of the Kraft “Deli Slices” cheese are lactose-free.
you probably want to read the label before you purchase these things but as far as i know they are dairy free.

How about fruit leather? We used to make some yummy ones from apple sauce.
I haven’t done much experimentation but I think you can substitute butter flavored Crisco and a little water for regular butter in most recipes. I was going to attempt this for our next playdate, maybe on some popcorn stuff.

Nuts & Trail mixes. Yum. (Found you through Holy Experience–your girls are beautiful!)
