Blueberry smoothie- dairy-free gluten-free chill.

Wilting from the heat? I've got a deep blue chill for you. Dairy-free. Easy as pie. Cool as a blueberry. I'm emancipating this recipe from the archive depths because it's just too luscious to get lost in 2007, never to be slurped again.

You switch the button to HIGH and sigh.
You froth with pleasure.

Not a stevia fan? Add a teaspoon of low glycemic raw organic agave nectar, or two teaspoons raw sugar, to taste.
Comments
Have you tried coconut flour? You'll have to use it with egg replacer.
Check out www.niulife.com. I'm sure there would be an American supplier somewhere.
Best of luck!
With local blueberries coming on, I will find a local farmer with some really nice ones, buy several quarts and flash freeze.
When bananas start to get too ripe on the counter, I peel, cut in half, wrap in wax paper and freeze. My smoothies are more like milk shakes and stay cold if I take them in the car.

Thanks, Karina! :-)

I've tried a couple of protein powders- and the best tasting, most "invisible" is the Nutribiotic vanilla rice protein I mention above. It dissolves almost instantly. I barely detect it. If you are super sensitive to texture, just make sure you have enough going on in the smoothie- a frozen banana, other fruit, flavors- and whip it long enough to give it a chance to dissolve. I use a Vita-Mix.
I've been doing smoothies daily. So good! xox
