Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

While I'm on the subject of blenders, I thought I would share one of our favorite smoothie recipes. After much trial and error, here's the way we make our favorite Strawberry-Banana Smoothie. Again, this one is gluten free and casein free.

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup water

6 large frozen strawberries

1/2 cup pineapple juice

2 bananas

1/2 teaspoon GF vanilla

If most of your ingredients are room temperature, you may want to add some ice cubes before blending. This recipe will make 2 large smoothies--perfect for an afterschool snack!

Nutty Blender Waffles (GFCF)

Nutty Blender Waffles (GFCF)

This is not your typical waffle recipe. For starters, it's both gluten free and casein free. It's also a little heavier than most waffle recipes.

We like to simply sift powdered sugar over them in lieu of any syrup. Yummy!

1 cup coconut milk

1 cup water

2 1/4 cup oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

Just put it all in the blender and blend for about a minute. That's it! This recipe makes three Belgium waffles in my waffle maker.

You can also make the waffles ahead to freeze. Just pop them in the toaster to reheat.
