Low Sugar Smoothie

Chocolate Cherry Almond Smoothie Bowl

When I began the candida diet I quickly found out that my sweet tooth was extremely limited. Limited that is, until I found out that you can make smoothies that taste and look like Ice Cream!

Unfortunately most smoothie bowl recipes include bananas which are too high sugar for the Candida diet so of course I had to create my own recipe. My goal here was to keep it lower in sugar while keeping the taste and consistency on point.

So here is the smoothie recipe you have been awaiting for!

Ingredients

·         1/3rd cup frozen Dark Cherries ( Make            sure they are not sweetened*)

·         2-4 ice cubes

·         1 Tbsp. Almond Butter

·         1 Tbsp. Avocado

·         2Tbsp Anthony’s Pea Protein

·         1 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder

·         Handful of Spinach or Kale

·         2-3 drops of stevia

Top with my Chocolate Granola, Chia Seeds, Cashews, Coconut, etc. & Enjoy!

5 Ingredient Gluten Free Granola

As you might know or not know I am a HUGE chocolate fanatic. I also am quite fond of creating healthy foods that can pass as a dessert or a meal! This Chocolate granola meats all the requirements of a healthy gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, vegan alternative to the sugar and additive filled products you might find in the cereal aisle.

INGREDIENTS 

·         1 cup Gluten Free Oats

·         1/4th cup Cocoa Powder

·         2 Tbsp Coconut Oil  

·         Pinch of salt

·         Sweetener to taste

Mix all the ingredients together.

Feel free to add any extras you might enjoy such as coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, vanilla, etc. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s so simple and adjustable to whatever you prefer!

You can also chose to eat it raw or toast it in a skillet on medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Once it are done enjoy as a meal, snack or topping for your favorite treats such as ice cream, yogurt and smoothies!
