Green Drink Free Of Wheat Or Barley

I would love to purchase a "green drink" powdered drink mix. I have some health issues where I can't eat a large volume of foods at once, so it is difficult to fit in enough fruits and veggies.

 

I see they ALL have at either wheat grass or barley and many tout a "gluten free" label. I have a wheat intolerance so it doesn't matter the wheat grass is processed prior to gluten being present -- plus I don't trust any company that much. I can't believe I haven't found a single drink mix without grain products in it -- what an untapped market!

 

Does anyone know of one free of plants we tend to avoid? I

I have trouble with any of the green drinks with wheat or barley. Many people say they are gluten free but i've been sick too many times to believe that.  Its too easy for the protein molecules to transmutate to the grass. SO, what you might like the best is to forgo the powdered mix and take the time to make it yourself. get a vitamix or omega  or juiceman juicer and buy your greens at the local farmers market. Its AN AMAZING difference!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't have the finances or energy (disabled) to go the juicing route. I wish I could because I know I'd get so many more nutrients than I would with a green drink. I find it so surprising there are no green drinks out there simply made of fruits, vegetables, and maybe some sea algea!

I bought a nutribullet. They are less then $100 or you can buy from the website and make payments if $19.99 per month.

It takes less than 5 min start to finish to make my nutriblast. I use 50% spinach, 50% fruit, and add chia seeds, fill to the line with purified water and blend for 1 min and your done. It would be cheaper in the long run then buying green powderered drinks and takes the same amount of time to make

i have one of those, too, i loooooooooove it.  it's also great for making your own salad dressings and chip dip.  that thing will puree anything.  i wish i had one just to play with and see what it will chop up before it breaks (omgosh.  i think my husband is rubbing off on me...........)  all dishwasher safe, which is great  :)  great suggestion, lori!

woot!  i'm thinking of getting a new one, so i can break the old one - that is terrible, i know.  the worst part is, if i suggest it to the hubs, he will jump right on board and we will be wrecking stuff lolz we are a pair of mess........

 

yeah, i just peel a shallot, onion, garlic, whatever and that thing makes it drinkable - i'm thinking of making spinach & bacon dip (probly use sour cream/mayo or yogurt)  a little garlic powder salt & pepper - 10 seconds laterrrrrrr  :)  love it  :)

We have a version of the Nutribullet - it's GE and says Walmart on the bottom. Works great for smoothies. Can't really juice with it.

It doesn't juice it's an extractor which is much healthier than juicing because you get the pulp, skin , etc of the fruits and veggies

Kid seems to have burned out the motor on his little smoothie maker. A rubber gasket wasn't pushed in correctly and tangled around the blades.

Can you make frozen smoothie drinks with the Nutribullet? He likes to put frozen fruit, juice and protein powder and take it to school to have after his first class ( weight lifting). What size are the containers?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
