Oh My God Delicious gluten-free/df Milkshake (screw Smoothies)

Pyro

Recommended Posts

I went to Whole Foods today and had the cafe section in the back blend up fresh, in season, local, organic strawberries, vanilla purely decadent coconut ice cream, and vanilla Pacific soy (can probably use almond or rice).

It was heaven. TOTALLY DECLICIOUS. Thick, full of flavor, smooth, refreshing, and totally convincing. The thick viscosity of a decent milkshake has been the most missed thing since I've gone on my gluten-free/df/cornf/peanutf quest. Well, no more.

The texture is a little more old style IMO. More "real" with a little thicker parts and a little thinner part where it's melted down a little more. Unlike fast food shakes which are usually (strangely) homogenous all the way through.

I really really loved it and am in even further debt to Shay now who recommended to use coconut milk ice cream. I've used soy ice cream in the past and the texture wasn't correct at all and the frostiness didn't hold at all.

oh, that sounds wonderful. Now I have been meaning to make some coconut icecream after finding a new recipe(the last time I tried it wasn't so good). I will just have to get on that, that makes me think though of what I will do for my smoothie this morning- almond milk and strawberries!

Well, no stores around here carry that! I can find the SOO Delicious Soy that isn't too bad, but would prefer to not have soy.

Next up is the chocolate whenever I want a milkshake again. I'll use the chocolate flavor, and probably keep the vanilla soy milk. I'll probably toss in a couple of those tropical brand semisweet chocolate chips (which I got for half off!!) too.

To the lady above who can't find the coconut ice cream: I'm sooo sorry for you and I feel your pain! The town I used to live in was in the dark ages too when it came to stuff like that. Try to see if you can find a health food store who will order a few pints for you. But then again count yourself kind of lucky because my one milkshake was $12!! It's kind of not wallet friendly.

12!!! That is crazy man. I pay 3.49 a pint plus 7% tax. I would use frozen strawberries at home (organic) which I can get for around 6 bucks a bag. I could get a good 3 shakes out of that 10.00 investment.

Now with the coconut flavor....add some fresh pineapple and a splash of rum......and you got a delicious pina colada!!

I wonder if you could make a cheaper, almost-as-good version by using canned coconut milk, ice cubes, and sugar instead of the coconut milk ice cream?

I'd bet the ice cream is made from canned coconut milk, not fresh, anyway.

Fiddle Faddle....I have tried a dozen times to make it with canned coconut milk. Even tried using the same ingredients (gums) they use. I just couldnt get that "creaminess". It was always too "icey".

Well let's see. The ice cream was $5 a pint, I THINK. Maybe it was $4. The strawberries were $3.50 (and I had a bunch left over so maybe more like $.50?), and the soy milk was $2 with a lot leftover so maybe more like $.75.

So at most $7 with tax. Still I don't usually use soy milk or often indulge in 5 star quality strawberries like that so it was a bit much.

I think it made around 32 ounces if the cup I was using was 16 oz (Yes I used the whole pint. It was so damn good and I had a long drive anyway). Still it was damn worth it. I wouldn't try making my own because you would sacrifice quality and time for just $3 or so dollars. Even then you would have all kinds of ingredients to gather if you didn't have them already.

Oh, I see what you mean.

What if you skip the ice cubes altogether, and put the coconut milk in the freezer for 30 minutes (but not more)? Coconut milk is very thick and creamy, especially the full-fat version (yum yum).

I make those for daughter all the time. Either with sorbet or Coconut Bliss, strawberries, rice milk and sometimes a bit of honey. Or I have left out the strawberries and used vanilla Coconut Bliss and dairy free chocolate or caramel sauce or both.

That's why we need to share Julie! Even if it seems obvious. Personally I spent months and months looking for a milkshake fix. I looked everywhere online and the only recipes I could find were for smoothies which don't have the same consistency (sometimes even horrible). The only thing I found claiming to be a gluten-free/df milkshake had a video and the result looks terrible. It happens to be the first google result too.

Sorry, but that looks terrible to me.

Hey, please share! I also would like a great home made recipe for coconut milk ice cream. I'm pretty isolated here & on a tight budget. Try your recipe and report back!

They sell this at the Asian supermarket I go to in the frozen section:

It's in a little aluminum pan and is called coconut custard cake, but it's a creme brulee style. Completely safe and pretty good. Can't actually say how good it was though because I tried it frozen then let it sit out to be licked by cats. It was pretty decent frozen definitely weird after it sit out (don't worry, there was a lot that wasn't licked. I'm no crazy cat guy.)

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
