High fat and high sugar foods for toddler but must be dairy free

39 replies

Foreverhopeful22 · 23/07/2017 14:24

My toddler is on a high fat diet and high sugar diet under a dietician

She is totally dairy free

I'm running out of ideas, I use mayo, and oil.

She eats crisps and sweets

Tonight she has two fried egg as she eats both the yolk and only one white.

She is still 1 1/2 kg underweight

Dietician is useless with ideas, other than custard.

Anyone got any ideas what else I can start using.

Should add can't eat fruit even the smallest amount will cause horrific acid .

Help please

Just roll puff pastry is dairy free, use to make palmiers, tarts, etc.
We make a veggie (not sausage!) roll!
Basically a sausage made from a mix of blitzed beans, herbs and spices wrapped in puff and baked.

Dairy free not fairy free pesto! Although I'm fairly sure it's fairy free as well Grin Grin

I make my own naked bars with lightly toasted cashew nuts, cocoa powder, dates and some drops of vanilla or orange essence, blended up in a nutri bullet until sticky. Approx equal quantities of dates and nuts and about a tablespoon of cocoa. You can form it into a log and slice or into balls and cover in melted dairy free chocolate.

I like these marinated tofu pieces you can often get in supermarkets. Makes a nice snack straight from the packet or can be heated and added to recipes. www.cauldronfoods.co.uk/products/range/organic-marinated-tofu-pieces

Or a milkshake with cashew milk, dates peanut butter and bananas if she can tolerate them. If bananas are ok then it is nice to make the smoothie with frozen banana slices.

Oh and Swedish glace ice-cream for added calories!

Dairy free ds here. He eats loads of peanut or almond butter, vegan cheese, and avocado. We are vegetarian, practically vegan, so we eat a lot of coconut milk based curries, chocolate chia puddings, heavily seeded bread with honey etc.

His favourite pudding is porridge made with coconut milk, peanut butter, shredded coconut, and some berries.

Does she like the taste of coconut?

If so, coconut cream is fantastically calorific for adding to porridge, curries (I mean the very lightly-flavoured, no-chilli ones for kids), rice (to accompany savoury foods), rice pudding, custards, smoothies (goes especially well with banana and pineapple),

You can also use solid coconut block for the above - it's great when you want something less runny (like when stirring into rice), but add some hot water and it acts like coconut cream.

Bobbybobbins · 23/07/2017 15:38

Agree with anything involving coconut milk - we did rice pud as mentioned above, a kind of satay chicken with a little peanut butter, set jelly with it. Avocado is fab. We found lots of dairy free cake recipes online.

Pip and nut do good nut butters, one is cinnamon and honey cashew butter so if she likes cinnamon she might like that?

geekaMaxima · 23/07/2017 15:40

Ah - just spotted no fruit, so maybe not smoothies so. Can still make an excellent chocolate milkshake-style drink with coconut cream and dairy-free drinking chocolate Smile

Whatslovegottodo · 23/07/2017 15:42

Alpro chocolate pots are delicious
Coconut collaborative have some good deserts
Peanut butter and jam sandwiches
Nakd bars (easy to make yourself too)
Dairy free fudge/ coconut sugar sweets/ choc covered raisins etc are all in holland and Barrett
Betty Crocker cake mixes are dairy free
Smoothies so you can pack nut butter, dates anything you like in them

The new Nush yoghurts are pretty good - made from almond or cashew nuts and proper live yoghurt cultures. Supermarkets near us have them in the fridge along with other yoghurts so they're easy to miss, but they are dairy-free!

They have a fat and calorie profile similar to Greek yoghurt and have some non-fruit versions in the line. And they're yummmmm Grin

Downside is that they are expensive compared to dairy equivalents (though all nut stuff is).
