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?!?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
