2 lovely lactose-free treats
There’s no need to sidestep dairy completely if you’re lactose-intolerant – Woolworths has a delicious range of free from lactose products to keep you happy – and creating dreamy treats in the kitchen.
What’s the deal with lactose?
Put simply, lactose is a type of sugar found mainly in milk and dairy products. Lactose free products undergo a process whereby these sugars are broken down, making them slightly sweeter and easier to digest. (Yay!)
Woolworths’ free from lactose range includes:
- Free from lactose vanilla ice cream
- Free from lactose chocolate dairy ice cream
- Free from lactose low fat and full cream Ayrshire milk
- Free from lactose low fat Ayrshire strawberry yoghurt
- Free from lactose low fat Ayrshire plain yoghurt
- Lactose free Ayrshire full cream honey milk
Delicious on their own, these products are also great for cooking:
Double layer lactose free ice cream bars
Free from lactose honey milk rice pudding
Fry 100 g Arborio rice and 3 cardamom pods in 1 tablespoon coconut oil over medium to low heat for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons caster sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 4 cups lactose free full cream honey milk, and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more milk if needed to loosen the mixture. Add 100 g fresh strawberries and dig in!
Pro-tip: Woolworths’ lactose free Ayrshire full cream honey milk is slightly sweeter, so you’re adding less sugar than normal to the pudding. #score!
