I decided to go gluten-free and dairy-free after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and this way of eating has worked well for me ✨
Since I’ve cut out dairy, I’m always looking for good alternatives to the yogurt I used to eat. This coconut yogurt from dmBio is one I like having as a dairy-free option. I like its creamy texture and mild coconut taste
