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

Pyro

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.)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
