Living dairy free...

Ok so as you may already know from previous posts, dairy is a trigger for my asthma. It started out as being able to tolerate a small amount but now any amount is a no go! 

I switched most things easily, I hate cheese, so no issues there and  I've never been a fan of butter so that was just cut straight out, I switched to soya milk although I think I now prefer almond milk but either make a good substitute for the real thing. I punched on with yoghurt a bit longer but now there soya alternatives too. 

So how does a chocoholic give up chocolate you ask? With greatest difficulty I assure you! I've fought holding onto it for so long but it has had to go, I did manage to try these before hand though. Any chocolate lovers out there will probably already know how amazing they are especially me being a white chocolate lover.  If you haven't tried them your missing out!! 

Ok so the switch has been made and I thought I'd take the time to review some products for anyone out there who's interested. This week is the turn of Morrisons. There free from range says they are milk free this is as close to dairy free ad they produce.  Here's what I brought : 

M Chococy Buttons £0.40p , M Choccy bar £0.45p and M Choccy orange bar £0.75p. 

Off course before I'd even made it back to the car I had sampled the buttons 

I've had a small taste of them all so as I can write this post. So here's what I though: 

Buttons - these where nice, obviously not the real thing, they lacked the silky feel of chocolate, and obviously as there is no milk they are very close to a dark chocolate. I don't mind dark chocolate but it's not my favourite. I enjoyed the buttons and they come in a nice small treat size packet which are ideal and especially at £0.40p I'd buy these again.

Choccy bar - this is again a also good alternative and a little like opening a bar of dark. It did melt a little an your mouth, and was very similar to the taste if the buttons. I'm hoping the rest of the bar will be as good for a small £0.45p 

Choccy orange bar - this had a similar texture and look to the Choccy bar but was most disappointed with the taste. I was hoping that the orange would sweeten the bar slightly so it didn't taste so much like dark chocolate but it didn't the orange is almost to artificial tasting. Nothing like a Terry's chocolate orange! I'd give it full marks for smell as the orange smelt beautiful just didn't taste so nice! I wouldn't buy this again as it was a disappointment In general and came in well above the previous Choccy bar at £0.75. So for an extra £0.30p I got some orange flavouring which was not as good as it smelt! Not sure if I'm going to continue this bar either and that's saying something for a chocoholic ! 

In summary my favourite was the Choccy buttons. 

Hopefully I'll have some different ones to review next week. Next supermarket...
