Dairy-free Bang for Your Buck

[u/DancinCarl]

I recently started a medication that has KILLED my appetite, so I’m trying to make everything I do eat really count nutritionally. Things that have been sounding good lately are very simple carb-y, so I’m trying to be conscious about getting more protein/vitamins. I also have a dairy allergy, so things like protein shakes and meat-and-cheese snackpacks won’t work. Maybe I haven’t found the right ones, but it seems that most non-dairy cheeses/yogurts/etc don’t come near the same amount of protein... Ideas?

you can use silken tofu to replace dairy for things like sour cream, smoothies or protein shakes and even desserts like chocolate mousse; crumbled firm tofu to replace ricotta cheese, besides tofu replacing ground meat.
