Fall Blueberry Pie Smoothie



I just added a new and amazing ingredient to my smoothie repertoire!  So excited that I must share the treasure with you guys!

The mission behind this add?  To get my smoothies thicker without using bananas or avocado.

The verdict?  Totally awesome!

The add?  Pumpkin puree (from a can)!  No you don't have to buy the pumpkin, cut it open and puree it yourself.  That's just too much work, unless you of course want to…

Make sure you read the pumpkin puree label for the gluten-free type!!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1 cup melted blueberries plus syrup (about 1 1/2 cups non melted)

2 tsp. hemp seeds

2 T. pumpkin seeds

4 T. pumpkin puree 

1 Medjool Date 

1/2 scoop Sun Warrior Rice Protein Powder (non-flavored) (You can sub in vanilla flavored)

1/2 Tigernut milk (use any non-dairy milk you want)

1/2 cup water

7 ice cubes plus additional ice cubes for serving

Optional Superfood add-1 tsp. Maca Root powder


DIRECTIONS: 

1.  Melt blueberries in a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 1 minute intervals until the blueberries are warmed and a bit soupy.  You will have about 1 tablespoon of syrup.  Minimum 1 minute-Max 2.5 minutes.

2.  Add 4 ice cubes and all ingredients into high speed blender and blend until smooth.

3.  If you want it extra sweet now's the time to add in an additional Medjool Date

4. Add an additional 3 ice cubes and blend.

Serves 2 medium size smoothies or 1 huge Queen Smoothie.


Serve on the rocks (ice) with a fun straw and enjoy!


TIPS: 
-when you melt blueberries it will require more for the smoothie.
-seeds are a great vegetarian way to get iron, minerals and protein
-protein powder added to smoothies makes you full longer.
-any non-dairy milk can be used in a smoothie either fresh or homemade such as Quinoa milk, Coconut Milk, Almond Milk, Walnut Milk, Cashew Nut Milk, Oat Milk, Hemp Milk…
-Tigernuts are not a nut but a vegetable root-this is totally nut free
-choose unsweetened non dairy milks because they contain no added sugar

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com  

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
