Lose Weight With Dairy Free Whipped Cream

By Ryan Phillips


The battle of the bulge often restricts what some call guilty pleasures. These days, food lovers and renowned chefs are finding new ways for regular people to enjoy the dishes they love. This includes dessert, as more are calling for dairy free whipped cream as a way to reduce saturated fat.

At one time, plant diets seemed only right for rabbits. With no flavor and less variety, it is no wonder that anyone who followed the old way of going vegetarian lost weight quickly. However, it seems like only a handful of people could make this way of eating a lifestyle.

While almond, oat, and rice milk are very popular, cashew and coconut varieties give the best texture, due to its dense texture. There are also recipes made from tofu or soy but those looking to drop a few pounds by converting to a plant diet may want to consult a physician. The reason is that soy isoflavones can change the hormonal balance of some women and make it harder to lose weight.

Many people who grew up with nondairy whipped topping products may have looked like it was made from cream, but the taste said differently. These products, while convenient due to its being able to store for months at a time, were loaded with oils and preservatives. Even though there were versions that were labeled fat free, the chemical taste remained.

Besides the nut cream in condensed form, some recipes call for adding maple syrup or raw agave nectar, along with a little vanilla extract. Mixing in cocoa powder is great for topping cake or other dessert. People who make this topping may add their own spin on it by adding ground cinnamon, citrus peel, or vanilla.

What some people like about these whipped cream recipes is the fact that few use regular sugar. While powdered sugar may make the texture a little denser, it does not take a lot to bring out the naturally sweet flavor of the nuts. This is why using ingredients like honey or molasses can be done sparingly, as these sweeteners also have a small number of nutrients.

Some just like to eat whipped cream by itself. If there are ripe bananas around the house, these can be blended as a puree and mixed in with the cream. This may be eaten alone or with a little cocoa powder.

For those who do not care for baking but love their sweets can make this treat that is certain to take care of chocolate cravings. Mix a packet of reduced calorie hot chocolate or cocoa powder and place inside individual containers. Let stiffen or freeze for two hours. If a person wants to add variety, mashed bananas will work also.
