Well, I was reluctant to do smoothies without dairy or some commercial dairy substitute. Before GAPS, I had been using hemp milk. But I finally gave it a try a few days ago, with great results. I figured if I added something fatty like avocado or flax seed oil, the result would be creamy, even if the base was water. This is also a great way to get my kids to consume some things they might otherwise not try.
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
1 Banana
1/2 avocado
10 oz. frozen blueberries
1 1/2 cups filtered water
Honey to taste
Cinnamon to taste
Cloves to taste
Raspberry Smoothie
My six year old said this was the best one yet. I think I preferred it with strawberries instead of raspberries, but they were both really good.
1 Banana
10 oz. frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp. flax seed oil
1 1/2 cups filtered water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Honey to taste

I never thought of making them with water! I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing how rich these can be without milk/yogurt or nut milk.
