Thanks for sharing your journey! I ended up having to go gluten & dairy free 2 years ago this month. As a girl from Wisconsin, I thought it was a death sentence to give up my sharp cheddar cheese addiction. Per the recommendation from a functional practitioner, he suggested I try removing gluten & dairy from my diet for 2 weeks and journal everything I eat. Once two weeks past, it was a no brainer for me to keep going on this lifestyle. I simply felt so much better and my skin was so much happier! Everything really is a trial & error process and learning what you like and don’t like. I’m personally a fan of almond and cashew milk & not so much of the coconut or soy milk varieties. I found a lot of inspiration from Against All Grain and Oh She Glows. I’ve even started sharing some of my own recipes on the blog & you’re right, the blender and processors are going to be your best friend!

Hi Donna, thanks so much for visiting and that makes me happy to hear this is useful! I liked the almond too a little more than the coconut. I found the coconut has been nice for smoothies =)… We would LOVE a Vitamix too but it was out of our budget for now so we chose the Ninja and we have really enjoyed it so far. We got it at Costco (that was packaged with the processor and smaller bullet sized cups) and it has a sensor button that does all the time management for you. Again – thanks so much for taking the time to chat, do appreciate it! Happy Spring to you as well…

Thanks for all the great information. I have been trying to do this too. Haven’t tried the cashew milk but we have been using the almond and I bought some coconut too but think I like almond better. I only have a Bullet for breakfast shakes and it’s a little small. The Vitamix is so expensive but I know it’s a good one. Are you pleased with the Ninja? Which one did you get? Love your pictures and blog as always.happy Spring!
