Restaurants That Make Ditching Dairy SO Easy
Isabel Barganier

Whether you’re lactose intolerant, have a dairy allergy, or just want to eat fewer dairy products--- ditching dairy doesn’t have to be stressful or difficult. Not being able to eat a certain food or food group can be very isolating and even embarrassing when you’re out with friends or at a restaurant (especially in college when you’re missing out on mom cooking for you!) It’s frustrating when you can’t find anything that you can eat, but I’m here for you and know this struggle all too well!!! I’ve been without dairy for numerous years now and have learned how and where it can be really hassle-free. Here are a few popular restaurants that offer STELLAR df options! #DAIRYFREEdom

MY FAVORITE DAIRY-FREE RESTAURANTS ITEMS:

1. Zoe’s Kitchen:

Zoe’s is a longtime favorite of mine and SUCH an easy place to get yummy, fresh food.
-Classic Hummus

-Chicken & Orzo Soup

-Mediterranean Lentil Soup

-Greek Salad & Live Med Salad WITHOUT FETA

-Chicken Salad & Fruit Plate

-Chicken Salad Sandwich

-ALL THE KABOBS!

-Sides: Potato Salad, Rice, Roasted Vegetables

-Mediterranean Chicken Entree

-Any of the Bowls MINUS feta and tzatziki

2. Mellow Mushroom:

MM has the BEST dairy free pizza!!! They use a brand called Follow Your Heart cheese and it is pretty close to the real thing. Just ask for the regular crust with no butter or parmesan cheese on top, and order the dairy-free cheese option! THE BEST.

The hummus appetizer and pretzel bites are also dairy free, and you can make your own salad too!

3. Taco Bell:

This one is TOO EASY. If you ask for ANYTHING that usually has cheese or sour cream “Fresco Style,” they don’t add the cheese or SC to it, and instead, add PICO DE GALLO! (for example Fresco Bean Burrito, Fresco Crunchwrap, etc.) Oh… and the cinnamon twists are dairy free too!

4. Chick-fil-A:

Unfortunately (this is a sad one), the fried chicken is put in a milk wash before they fry it. However, all of the GRILLED chicken and the heavenly waffle FRIES are df! You can also get the egg white grill breakfast sandwich without cheese and you are good to go on the hashbrowns as well! #HealthIsWealth

5. Chipotle:

GREAT NEWS! Everything at Chipotle, minus our obvious offenders, cheese/sour cream/queso, is dairy free!

6. Newk’s Eatery:

I’ve been recently obsessed with Newk’s because of these sandwiches! There are more options than just these, but these are what I’ve had and enjoyed!

-Turkey breast sandwich or turkey avocado sandwich with NO Swiss cheese

-Greek salad with chicken, NO feta (greek dressing is DF)

7. Dunkin Donuts:

If you’re dairy free, you may know that the dairy-free options at Starbucks are not the best. The coconut milk is mehhh, soy milk is iffy, and the almond milk is just gross (IMO). BUT, Dunkin’ Donuts serves my FAVORITE brand of dairy-free milk, Almond Breeze. I’m in LOVE with an iced coffee with almond milk from DD!

(not necessarily food related but wanted to share ;) )

I hope this was helpful! Did I miss anything that you LOVE?!?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
