HOW TO REPLACE DAIRY / Dairy-Free for 8+ years! (Tips on Going Vegan)

[@CheapLazyVegan]

RESPONDING TO SOME COMMENTS I'M SEEING - Yes, I am aware that a cow does not have to be PREGNANT the entire time they are producing milk, I apologize for my poor choice of words. What I meant was that a cow MUST be impregnated and give birth to a calf in order to produce milk. Here's a quote from BC DAIRY (yes, this is a quote from the dairy industry) - "Before any cow can make milk, she must have a calf. A female dairy cow will have her first calf when she is around two years old and will produce milk for around 10 months. After each 10 month period, each cow will have two months of rest “off”. Before they begin producing milk again, they must have another calf."

My dad is a researcher in the protection of endangered species. It is not exactly like that. Anyway, you shouldn't apologies for what you said. Your video is excellent (and you don't have to be aggressive, abusive or bullying other people who don't agree with your way of life, like another youtuber who's gone completely "bananas") Love from Australia ☺️

[@ayrenbethancourt9379]

@@CheapLazyVegan and about the milk production, cows are like humans, they dont start producing milk till after the delivery, about 48 hours, not during pregnancy. ☺️

[@nancyplants757]

@@ayrenbethancourt9379 oh boy...that one. It's too bad because she has such a huge platform. She actually turned me off from calling myself vegan for the first year I was vegan. I called myself "plant based". But then I realized that bad behavior transcends all walks of life, so I decided to call myself vegan and start a KZbin channel. I wish she'd go back to showing her off grid lifestyle. That was actually relaxing to watch and I wanted to support her.

Hi I am Robyn. I was a dairyholic. I am now dairy free for 11 months.

[@NZHeike]

The problem is just that parents get told by the dairy industry that children NEED cows milk to be healthy, which has been proven as incorrect, but it's hard to get out of the heads of many parents. Some children even have problems with milk and have skin and stomach problems from the lactose they are allergic against and the parents still believe in the lie that children need the calcium through cow's milk.That's clever marketing in action.

I wish replacement products were reasonable priced at where I live, because some products costs 2-3 times more than dairy products.

[@peachykeen8504]

I cook (store brand) rice in a crockpot until it's mushy, blend, then make sweet puddings and shakes from it.

[@jennacook2505]

That’s the case in the us because dairy is heavily government subsidized

[@broddr]

Btw, in addition to sending all the male calves to the slaughterhouse, about 1/2 of the female calves go as well. Dairy cows (which can live to age 20) are sent to the slaughterhouse when milk production drops around age 5. So every year the dairy factory needs to replace about 1/5 of their cows. Assume some calves die, and maybe some adult cows die or suffer a drop in milk production early, and you get a need to replace about 1/4 of the herd every year. Half of all calves born each year are female, but the dairy only needs 1/4. So all male calves and half of all female calves go the the slaughterhouse every year.

[@CheapLazyVegan]

I hearted this comment, so more people can know the truth :( thanks for sharing. it's just so terrible.

[@lri6029]

Actually, cows give milk after giving birth to feed their calves. However, since they are repedetly impregnated, they often continue to lacte during their next pregnancy. Therefore, there can be found specific hormones in their milk. Those hormones were linked to hormone related cancers by some researchers. However, these findings are still discussed. Otherwise, the topic of milk consumptoon was really informative and well explained.

I drink Silk Pure unsweetened Almond milk, I like Daiya cheeses but don't use the cheese often. I haven't tried Daiya yogurt yet. I've been using vegan butter too. Although I like meats I really don't miss them so far. What I do miss is eggs. I think that is what I still have a craving for. But so far I dig this plant based diet. I lost 23 pounds so far.

I loooove cheese and dairy so it’s not gonna be easy (I’ve literally been doing it for a week) but I feel good about it because I know I consumed way too much dairy. I think I’ll have “cheat” days like Hollidays and stuff but that’s all. I got oat milk so that’s what I’ve been using and I’ve been drinking tea more than coffee. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff for acne and I think it’s mostly an internal problem and there’s only so much topical remedies can do

I've decided to ditch dairy! I stopped eating meat about a year ago and am glad I did. I stopped eating meat for ethical reasons. I understand there are ethical reasons around dairy (you've made the argument very well) but I'm giving it up for health reasons. I've had allergies for so long and also sometimes have issues with dry skin. I'm glad I found your video.

[@zz9195]

Yes after quitting dairy I started having insane cravings for a big glass of dairy milk..... it tastes nice to me too 😩 but ur right don’t think humans are meant to have it as my skin reacts badly I get itchy rashes everywhere

[@simonejeanette7066]

Trader joes cashew And coconut yogurt is good and the almond yogurt is good, vanilla bean is my fave. Its about 50 cents more than Greek yogurt which is what I'm looking for an alternative

[@kristyboule8768]

My 2 month old (along with MANY babies) is intolerant to milk protein which is even harder to avoid than lactose. So since he is exclusively breastfed I am required to cut out all dairy. So here I am to learn!!

[@breve711]

over the last few months i've become extremely lactose intolerant, i was already trying to cut down on dairy but this has sped up the process

[@Leo-kl6ym]

Omg thank you so much for teaching me about the coconut whipped trick. I have a ton of coconut cream cans and that will be perfect to use for.

Your hair is BANGIN

It's very cheap and easy to make your own oat milk. All you need is oats and water and a blender. It will separate but just shake it before using it.

[@cabr3ra]

Great video Rose. Im not vegan but I still watch these videos because I will be eventually. I don’t drink milk already, but I do like sour cream. What do you recommend?

[@CheapLazyVegan]

hmmm I'm not a huge sour cream person (which is probably how I missed it in this video lol)!! But I tried making some one time with cashews, and it turned out pretty good ~ although I'm not sure if it tasted exactly like sour cream. I suggest trying out a few recipes and seeing what you like !

[@shagoorat]

To me, the Silk brand plain yogurt tastes a lot like sour cream as I remember it.

[@AuntieSenSen]

Kite hill plain yogurt

[@melissaservais650]

I like Tofutti brand sour cream, or making my own cashew sour cream.

[@rn2787]

Kite Hill is great if you can have almonds.

[@lexihahn1169]

I’m so glad you covered how were the only species that produces milk as adults. Makes no sense as to why we drink dairy now

[@kamrynceleste3130]

A video in making your own milks would be so helpful 🖤🖤🖤

[@abigailmills2603]

I knew all that from my vegan phase. I’m only going dairy free because I am unfortunately SEVERELY lactose intolerant to the point where it’s close to an allergy. Thank you for the tips. It helped so much bc i am so tired off getting crazy sick

[@zenkaipower]

I’ve tried going vegan three times before, but it didn’t stick. I’m now on try 4, but this time I am 90% motivated by just not wanting to eat animals anymore. Being healthier is just a bonus. It makes me feel bad to hurt animals and I’m over it.

[@grego5565]

Great video Rose! Your hair is looking great! Love the dark tones coming through. I’m really trying to go dairy free and completely vegan again. I’ve been gradually working on it! :)

[@joyfullrains8166]

I'm a vegetarian since I was 4 yrs.old, although I'm not vegan but i only consumed almond or soy milk. I'm not a big fan of cheese as well., once in awhile I ate some dessert with milk or cheeses but not habitually... Great video, very informative!

[@maxwellbauccio2554]

Hi there so roughly 6 ish months ago I decided to cut red meat out of my diet and though I still consume some meat I’m going to be soon trying to cut dairy out of my diet for two months! I’m incredibly excited and hope to never intentionally consume it again. Thank you for this educational video!!

[@XMsBossLadyX]

Thank u so much, I'm lactose intolerant n this helps so much (Native American)

[@hgrace0]

I have been vegetarian for more than half my life. I have been dairy free before but I went back to it. Now I’m going dairy free again. I don’t have any digestive issues but I have a lot of reasons. The one thing I have found challenging is coffee creamer. I haven’t found a really great replacement.

[@jasminesmith913]

You’re very informative but funny at the Same time. New subscriber!

[@SuperForRealsWiiGamr]

I don’t crave dairy products, but I do crave foods with dairy and eggs in them like desserts and pancakes. That’s my Achilles heel. I know vegan desserts exist but most restaurants don’t carry them!! I’m trying!!!!

[@waxonwaxoff2770]

I don’t think I could ever go vegan although I’ve been vegetarian my entire life(no meat or fish).Cheese is hard to give up because there is nothing out there that tastes as good and I just love cheese ..I’ll eat it over chocolate...another thing I can’t give up! Also vegan products are much more expensive. Plant milk is much more expensive by the bag than traditional milk. Same goes for vegan products (burgers,hotdogs etc). I do however make vegan recipes when I can since most blogs and channels are plant based these days as opposed to vegetarian so I guess that’s something

[@broddr]

Wax On Wax Off -- try Daiya cheddar style. It's the only easily available vegan 'cheese' product that I have found to have any flavor. It's like a mild cheddar. But don't waste your money on Daiya's American Style, which has almost identical packaging. It's practically flavorless. Yes, Daiya's cheddar is almost twice as expensive as cow-based pre-sliced cheddar. But it has no mammalian estrogen, less saturated fat, and no unhealthy trans-fats. Yes, dairy and beef naturally contain 3-8% super unhealthy trans fats. So, even if you don't plan to become vegan, you could justify the added expense as a premium for a healthier product. And every supermarket around me stocks it, except for Walmart. You just need to find what odd place they put it, generally near the vegetables, but never near the cheeses.

[@markfrazier7442]

Making your own oat milk is inexpensive. You can make it as thin, thick, plain, sweet, vanilla as you like. I also make my own Tahini "cheese" sauce much tastier than most fake cheeses out there. Definitely, less expensive to make it yourself. Spicy Chipotle Tahini Sauce: Tahini 1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon Water 1/2 cup Garlic two cloves Chipotle peppers 2 Blend until smooth

[@brandimate]

Then u gotta try Miyoko's cashew cheese! 😍

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

The Silk creamer in the hazelnut flavour is amazing. It's literally the only non dairy creamer that doesn't separate when you add it to your hot coffee. The Coffee Mate non dairy looks curdled the second you pour it in. Sorry Rose...black coffee = sad coffee to me. 😆

[@evdokiachristofi100]

My pocket money while I listen to this... -wings flyping-💸

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Since i my diet 3 years ago my stomage can,t handle dairy products. So i switched to vegan and coconut dairy free and vegan yogurt,s,Almond milk coconut milk ect. I am almost completely vegan. I eat less meat,only some chickin but not that mutch. And i love potato wraps so good. I,ve tryed it last month. And i love bean wraps and mexican vegan food. I love you,re vegan food and tips and tricks video,s

[@Eadwine9]

oat and cashew are my favs

[@HarmScher]

Also though if you want to be dairy free you gotta look at the ingredients in other things....because for some reason, they put milk or milk "powder" (whatever TF that is) in a LOT of things that shouldn't have milk or you wouldn't think. For me, it's pretty easy to get rid of the obvious milk and cheese (cheese a bit harder, but not after I found a vegan cheese I liked and started cooking everything myself and realized that I actually rarely eat cheese if I cook myself). But what's tricky is the milk they sneak into products.

[@stefanieallen4645]

I was vegan for 2 years until a person literally shoved cheese in my mouth. Cheese is addictive I swear. But now I have a dairy allergy and I really really can't be eating dairy anything anymore but it's so hard. Thank you for this video!!! I needed this!!

[@marionsuge]

My blood work came back with high antibodies to dairy... makes perfect sense. Dairy isn't used in cambodian cuisine.

[@Sylvia-pi7fd]

Daiya shredded mozzarella is actually really good.. I add it to pasta and it makes it soooo creamy without giving it that intense daiya taste

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

New to dairy free. Still in shock. Your video is a huge help. New subscriber. I can’t wait to see all your other videos. Do you make pizza? What do you use for cheese?

[@norabellerose8560]

Oat and coconut milks are the best😋

[@MrNioMoon]

Really great video!! Thanks, boo!! 🧡

[@CheapLazyVegan]

thanks for watching as usual!!! :)

[@MrNioMoon]

Cheap Lazy Vegan You are the best! I can’t get enough of u 🧡

[@oscarlantigua9545]

From my experience living in a dairy farm none of the female cows have never been forcibly injected with bull sperm. In my experience a female cow can have a baby once and if you keep milking it, it keeps producing milk. ( and we owned an organic dairy farm in Texas)

[@mccod035]

Kroger which is in the States has had Silk products including Oat milk for 2.99 and its on and off so if you have a Kroger check that out also Publix also more in Florida has had a BOGO buy 1 get one free on Silk products as well including their Nog which is awesome
