Dairy Free Alfredo Sauce

Do you love Alfredo sauce but have a dairy sensitivity? Do you have wheezing, coughing, or bad allergies? If so it may be time to give up dairy. Do you have a highly inflamed system because of a leaky gut or an auto immune condition? Well it may be time to give dairy the heave-ho for a while to see it if makes you feel better. This sauce is made from coconut milk which is a great source of medium chain fats that are readily burned as fuel, not stored as fat. The great thing about coconut is that it takes on the flavor of what you add to it. Don’t be limited to Pina Colada’s anymore. Coconut milk is a super food. Just be sure you are getting an organic brand that is BPA free such as the one listed below. If you need to find out if you have a dairy issues, I can help.

Ingredients:
1 onion diced
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 can of Native Forest Coconut Milk
16 oz mushrooms sliced
1 garlic clove diced
1-2 Tbsp coconut flourDirections:

Saute onion and garlic in butter for 5 min on medium heat then add mushrooms. When mushrooms are done, add coconut milk until it simmers. Then add coconut flour. Stir with whisk to make sure lumps are gone. Add more if it still thin. Serve immediately over chicken, steak, or spaghetti squash.

From Grass Fed Girl:

I have heard from my trusted friend Sandrine Love of Nourshing our Children that this Kuzu  Root Starch is Gaps Legal.  There is limited info on this product but it does come from a root so I feel it is suitable for a Paleo diet. Use your best judgement and to see if it fits into your real food diet and suits your level of health.
