Yes, unfortunately I can't have coconut either :/ which I am a bit gutted about because there was an amazing recipe I saw on here a vegan yoghurt ice pop which I really want to try, but it is made with coconut milk :( I am not a vegan...or even a vegetarian! But I would love to start to reduce the amount of meat I eat. I have already started avoiding it subconciously and haven't eaten red meat in a while now, but I still eat fish and dairy. I think for me it is more about listening to how my body feels, and quite frankly it feels crap when I eat meat lol

You can definitely make ice cream pops or nice cream with just frozen banana. It goes creamy like in my pictures when blended. You can also try this recipe by leaving all the nuts out and using oats instead and u can also grind oat into a flour. Are Chía seeds off limits as well? Does nut allergy include seeds?
No, I love seeds! :D And oats are a part of my diet too. I guess it is all about learning how to eat in a new way. I love seeing all these recipes because it makes me realise that it can be possible to eat a meat-less diet, I just have to figure out a way around the nut and coconut issue :)
I only ever use nuts in deserts but in general they are suppose to be eaten sparingly on whole foods plant based living. So your not missing out or anything! So glad you are branching out to New ideas for cooking
Also great news about reducing meat, I'm. Not surprised it makes u feel crap, I was a meat water once too and apart from intial mental satisfaction I felt heavy, and angrier when eating it. Just base everything around lots of good fruit and veggies and the rest will follow suit.
Well I do love all fruits and most veggies, so I think I can easily do that :D Not sure I can give up fish though, I am a big fish eater
That's great you love veggies and fruits that what our diets should mainly be based around especially if they are local and organic. Until very recently before going full vegan I was eating very occasionally small fish as they contain less mercury and sometimes good quality fish sauce but unfortunately I watched some documentaries how fish is the most toxic food on the planet especially salmon. Its so sad our oceans are full of toxicity, heavy petals pcbs, farmed fish unfortunately are the worst because many chemicals are used. My advice would be stick to small wild fish only in the interest of your health.
It is scary just how many chemicals we ingest from our foods. I love to grow my own veg and can't wait until I have a bigger plot of land so I can organise it properly for food
