Spring-Clean Your System: Your Dairy-Free Meal Plan

If you're constantly feeling bloated, then lactose might be the culprit. According to nutritionist Kimberly Snyder, "[Dairy] is the number one thing I tell my clients to stop eating" — it's a common allergy you might not even realize you have! For lovers of milk and cheese, a life without dairy might seem impossible. Start small with this full-day meal plan full of healthy and delicious dairy-free recipes.
