Strawberry Hemp Milk Smoothie

strawberry hemp milk smoothie
Drink pink! Organic strawberries make fabulous smoothies.

It's that time of year. Smoothie weather is upon us. Time to whip fresh fruit  into a frenzy of deliciousness. Then go for a walk. And burn off those winter blues. Lethargy is so yesterday.

Today?

Today is berrylicious.

A note on hemp milk-

You'll love this dairy-free smoothie recipe. It's not your average, boring rice milk smoothie. Nope. I'm talking hemp milk. Thick and creamy and full of nifty Omegas, Hemp Dream is my latest gluten-free dairy-free soy-free rice-free find.
I've been using the plain original version for my Cheesy Uncheese Sauce (it's silkier than rice milk, and thickens like a dream). And the vanilla is tasty enough to drink on its own. Seriously. 

Not all brands taste the same. So if you've tried a hemp milk that made you pucker and smack your lips, awash in farm fresh grassiness, do not fear. Not all hemp milks are created equal.

Taste around, Darling- be promiscuous in your hemp milk quest- and find one you truly like. It's out there.

Strawberry Hemp Milk Smoothie Recipe


When Nicole at Pinch My Salt posted What's Simpler Than a Smoothie? Strawberry Milk- she set my private tiny girl heart all aflutter. I used to love making strawberry milk. Could I possibly recreate my childhood bliss without dairy?

The short answer is, Yes I can

What you'll need to make this smoothie: a good blender. Or better yet, a Vita-Mix. And if you need a protein boost, add protein powder- here's my fave gluten-free vegan vanilla protein powder.

Ingredients:

1 cup ice cold Vanilla Hemp Dream
1 cup chilled ripe organic strawberries, sliced
1 teaspoon raw agave nectar, or honey, to taste

Instructions:

Pour the hemp milk into blender.

Add the strawberries and agave.

Cover.

Whip on high.

Pour.

Boom.

Sip.

Strawberry deliciousness.

Quinoa Salad with Pears, Baby Spinach, Pecans + Maple Vinaigrette

Image
Vegan Gluten-Free Bliss, Ya'll. And it makes a fabulous (beautiful!) Labor Day picnic offering for all your guests that shun gluten, dairy, eggs, and critters. From the archives, in the nick of time... If you're looking for a fresh idea to liven up your ho-hum salad plate, Sweetcakes, have I got a recipe for you. Light, vegan, and packed with protein, this is no ordinary bunny food. It's got quinoa. Studded with nutty, buttery chick peas and crunchy toasted pecans and succulent jewels of ripe, juicy pears. And did I mention, in a bowl licking maple vinaigrette? In fact, this is a salad even salad haters would eat. You know, those stalwart gotta have my meat and potatoes aficionados who eschew anything leafy. Who snicker at fiber. And mock carrot sticks. The sort of individual who gets misty eyed for melted butter and bacon martinis. To said individuals, salad could never be anything but rabbit chow. But this lovely mélange of flavors just might piqu...

Gluten-Free Goddess Zucchini Bread

Image
Got Zukes Galore? Sharing a favorite summer recipe here on Gluten-Free Goddess-- a cinnamon laced tea bread made with garden fresh zucchini. You'll love it. And so will everyone else. I also jotted down some batter and baking tips for ya. See below. GFG Tips on gluten-free bread baking: Here's my all-time favorite baking pan for gluten-free breads. It's a lovely glazed ceramic pan that creates steady, even heating for gluten-free batters. In other words, it's as foolproof as you can get. Find it here at Amazon:  Good Cook 9-Inch Ceramic Loaf Pan . Make sure your batter isn't cold when you put it into the oven. If you keep your flours in the fridge, for instance, this will cool down your batter quite a bit. If you find your batter is cooler than room temperature, allow the batter to rest in the pan near the pre-heating stove and let it come to room temperature before you place the bread pan in the oven to bake (I also do this with cakes sometimes). The first time...

Gluten-Free Gingersnap Cookies

Image
This time of year simply begs for gingersnaps- the classic and humble cookie that tastes old fashioned and elegant and post new wave all at once. A subtle, spicy, gingery bite that snaps with a crunch to awaken satiated taste buds soaked in a holiday sea of egg nog, cheese logs and peanut butter balls. Fancy cookies, these are not. Slathered with green icing and star sprinkles? Not exactly. Though, you could, I suppose. Slather these. And sprinkle with abandon. If you're of a mindset that more is more, and nurture not the minimalist mantra of Less. The choice is yours. Go old fashioned and let the gingersnap goodness tingle on its own. Or go wild. And get your frosting on. It's your party. Karina xox

Gluten-Free Chocolate Gingerbread Recipe

Chocolate Gingerbread, Gluten-Free Goddess Style The wind is roaring through the forest next door today. The wood stove is lit, warming our bodies and our spirits. I put on my holiday playlist and stir cocoa-laced batter with a wooden spoon, imagining my fellow gluten-free bakers- all of you- out there- standing in your own humble kitchens, beating strange flours and non-traditional ingredients with a hefty dash of hope.  By Winter Solstice I will celebrate another gluten-free anniversary. NUMBER 21! December 19, 2001 was the day I decided to shun gluten forever. What timing. Right before Christmas. I could have waited until December 26th (Christmas cookies!). Or even the New Year (Trifle!). But I didn't. I couldn't. As soon as I connected the dots- from my plague of symptoms to their instigator gluten- I couldn't wait to begin my new life. If I had eaten my very last buttery croissant, so be it. If I had unknowingly crunched my last Milano cookie, so what. I was do...
