July 4, 2013 at 2:36 pmConnecting through the UBC challenge. Saw your blog is Gluten Free and wanted to connect. I am Gluten Sensitive and blog about Gluten Free Living. Great Recipe. I don’t like bananas so I might change out the banana for pumpkin! Thanks, Wendy http://wendybottrell.com UBC

Yes some of my children don’t care for the banana, the pumpkin sounds like a good switch.
Thanks for connecting and for commenting. I’ll stop by your sight.

July 4, 2013 at 2:46 pmI’ve been a fan of Vitamix for a long time but didn’t know they had gluten free recipes. Or do you have to find those elsewhere?

July 4, 2013 at 3:43 pmHi Nancy,
We’ve been gluten free for over 10 years. I’ve converted our favorite recipes to gluten free by experimenting and substituting, trial and error until they are just as good as before.
I love my Vitamix, too. It is running several times a day here making soup, green smoothies, yogurt smoothies and more. We like to experiment. Raw, organic foods are easy on the digestion with natural healing nutrients for all the damage done from years of eating gluten. I’ve gotten in the habit to double check the package for gluten, wheat, malt,etc. before purchasing. The Maca and Acai are gluten free.
