Vance's Darifree Fake Milk

Our local co-op does not require you to be a member to shop there, but I understand some do. I'd call first and check before making a trip. With ours, membership gets you a discount on certain days, and a little more "validity" in input - when a member asks them to carry specific items, they are more likely to jump on it and get them in, knowing that the person shops there regularly. Also, I can order special things through the co-op, like if I wanted a case of Vance's Darifree and ordered it through the co-op, if they give any "business" or quantity discounts, I would get that. Also split the cost of shipping with any order that the co-op was placing, instead of having to pay all the shipping myself. And our co-op works with the local farmers, so again if I want something special in quantity, I can ask and the co-op might be able to get a better price than if I just tried to buy it myself. I think the co-op is a good idea, and try to support it by being a member. If it wasn't local though, I probably wouldn't join. Just purchase occassionally when I was in the area.

Debmidge--I don't think it tastes exactly like milk--but I like it very much. It (to my taste) is a bit sweeter than milk. The thickness (texture) is more like regular whole milk. It is great for things that you don't mind adding a little bit of sweetness to. Sometimes I use it dry--like a non-dairy creamer in my hot tea. It makes it nice and creamy--lots better than the thinner rice and almond milks. It also makes great cocoa, and I think it would be good on cereals. I don't use it in my mashed potatoes, though. Mix it up and I think you'll be pleased! :)

That's so nice of you! :D

My dd likes it on her cereal. It's also good in blended, iced coffee recipes. I also use Vance's for my soups such as potato, cream of broccoli, gluten-free cream of mushroom etc. I also like it as a cream base for pasta dishes. I can use the powder with oil, vinegar, and spices to make creamy vinegrette dressings. Here recently I used the powder with mustard etc. to make a dressing for potato salad. My dd can't have mayo and the salad was awesome. :)

It was a godsend for me only because I can't tolerate soy or rice milks. I can do almond milk, but because of the nutty taste, it's not suited to certain things. Not that I was a milk drinker to begin with! It is just perfect for me for the times I need a creamy ingredient. Now, if they would just carry it in more stores....

My dd is allergic to soy milk and almond milk. I'm not a milk drinker but my dd will drink Vance's by the glass. I can even dilute it some and she enjoys it. I really like being able to control the consitancy of the milk. We do coconut milk, rice milk and Vance's. I use them all and rotate them as I need.

I haven't got to try to the Vance's ice cream recipes yet because I'm almost out. I hope to try it this weekend. I'll be sure to post how it goes! :D

Miss Roben's has a ice cream mix that uses Vance's that you might want to check out. I prefer to use organic ingredients when at all possible so I'll probably just make my own. :)

Kasey's mom--I will be looking forward to see how the ice cream recipe goes--it's been a long time since I've had ice cream (sorbets are good, but not the same). I see you use it for soups--I am thinking I can use it then for scalloped potatoes--very possibly tonight w/chicken! Thanks again for all of your good ideas :)

Additional Questions:

1) After I make it, I store in refrigerator - how long does it last?

2) It is best tasting right after it's made?

3) Does anyone get any gut reactions (non celiac reactions) from it?

I agree w/Patti ~ my daughter doesn't really care for it to drink straight, but loves it in things. It definitely is sweeter than milk. I usually make a cup w/the creamer recipe (1c. hot water to 1/3c DF) every morning. Use most of it to make a smoothie for her and then use whatever is left in my coffee or hot chocolate.

I also bake w/it. Our new favorite bread recipe has it in it and last night I made some cupcakes w/it too.

Acording to thier web site, it lasts 1 year unmade, and 1 week made.

Wow--that got there fast!! Well, it turned out perfect because today's your birthday--another present :D ! Hope you enjoy it--do make the cocoa--I do it with pure cocoa powder, sugar and the milk. It's so good. If you make up a pitcher-full, be sure to mix very well--use the hot water method on the label--it tends to want to clump on the bottom. Have fun--enjoy the rest of your day, and let me know how it goes! :)

      Celiac pain relief

      By Karmmacalling · Posted

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      My son newly diagnosed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.

      How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? How long have you been gluten-free? Is your diet strict, and are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out in restaurants?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      Key word, "gluten-like".  By the way, have you looked up Dr. Osborne's credentials and his background? He is a licensed nutritionist but his scientific? medical? clinical background is that of a chiropractor. He is not taken seriously by many experts in the medical and scientific community. If it is helpful to you to see these other cereal grain proteins as "gluten", I'm fine with that. The problem is, when you begin to promote that line of thinking to others, people get confused about what grains they actually need to avoid. About 10% of celiacs react to oat protein (avenin) like they do gluten (the protein in wheat/barley/rye). That is not news. But the vast majority of celiacs have no issue with these other cereal grains. If we start throwing around the term "gluten" to loosely embrace the proteins found in all cereal grains it's going to be very confusing to those just getting started who only need to avoid wheat/barley/rye. And it will also create a great deal of confusion in the restaurant industry trying to cater to that element of their customer base needing to eat gluten free.
