For anyone who is lactose intolerant or has decided to follow a vegan lifestyle, getting hold of delicious and tasty food items can be challenging. There are so many delicious dairy-free food items that not so many people know about. So many great options to choose from, that might even make you crave healthy food like never before.

Fig bars: go for fig bars if you have a sweet tooth but have a hard time finding a dessert without dairy. These fantastic plant-based cookies are the perfect dessert or afternoon snack to go with a hot cup of almond milk.
Dark chocolate: Most of you think chocolate has dairy because it contains milk. However, 70% to 90% dark chocolate from most brands are purely dairy-free.
Graham crackers: The plain graham crackers that do not contain any honey, are dairy-free. Top them up with extra dark chocolate for a perfect dairy-free snack.
Cashew cheese: There are many nut-based cheese options in the market. Cashew cheese tops the list. If you are a cheese lover and craving for some, cashew cheese is the best non-dairy cheese alternative for you.
Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream: Did you know that ice cream can be dairy-free? Ben and Jerrys have truly aced ice-cream game by introducing an entire non-dairy ice-cream line. You can now enjoy your favorite tub of ice-cream without worrying of the dairy content it has. Remember: ice cream in moderation and occasionally.
Sorbet: Sorbet is a cool refreshing dessert made only form water and fruit juice or puree. It’s a dairy-free and best snack during hot summer days.
Tofu: The winner of dairy-free and vegan food items is tofu. It can be used as an alternative of any cheese. Tofu is high in protein and can be used as a garnish, in a sandwich, or even as a pizza topping.
Peanut butter: Most peanut butter brands do not contain any animal product and are dairy-free. You can enjoy peanut butter with banana, oats or alone! It indeed makes any plain and basic food item absolutely lip-smacking!
