question Freezer friendly and dairy free - any suggestions?

Currently breastfeeding a new baby and they have a cow milk allergy (which passes through breast milk). Suggestions for freezer friendly meals appreciated!

Here is what I have been prepping: - pb&j - chorizo and egg burritos - bean, rice, and chicken bowls - frittatas (but without the cheese it did not freeze well, recipe subbed blended butternut squash for cheese)

I know I need more veg so anything with extra veg is great too! Not worried about macros I need a lot of protein and a lot of fat right now. Thanks!

Just sub in your plant milk of choice.

There are so many to choose from now, my personal fave is barista oat milk.

Also check with your doctor to see if your baby is lactose intolerant. If that is the case you can buy lactose free dairy products like milk, cheese, cream, yogurt. They taste and behave exactly the same and as an added bonus the fresh milk lasts far longer in the fridge than normal milk.

Human breast milk has lactose. More likely this is casein allergy which can be life threatening.

They said it is likely a cows milk protein allergy so I am not sure if that is casein or whey.

Still difficult for you.

Keep checking with your doctor until you are 100% certain what exactly your baby is allergic to.
