Strawberry Banana Smoothie - 2

One individual in my family is completely dairy free (cow dairy) but loves to have a nice cold frozen dessert.  This is super easy to make.  

1 1/4 cup rice milk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons goat yogurt
1 medium banana, frozen and chopped
2 1/4 cup frozen strawberries chopped
1-2 tablespoons coconut nectar

Layer into the blender in order given.  Process until smooth.  This will make 2 16 ounce glasses of smoothie.  Eat one and freeze the other.  Following day, remove from freezer for about 20 minutes.  Can place in a food processor to create smoothie texture again.

Triple Berry Crunch

Making some lifestyle changes and this is my first attempt at an allergy free dessert. This dessert received a total of 2 thumbs up from everyone in the family.  Definitely a dessert that I would be willing to serve to company or take to a potluck.  Super yummy!

3-4 cups of berries; blueberries, marionberries, blackberries and strawberries
1 tablespoon gluten free flour

Toss together.

Layer in the bottom of a quiche baking dish.

1 cup gluten free flour
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup dairy free, soy free butter

Using a pastry cutter, mix the above three ingredients until the mixture resembles a fine sandy mixture.  Spoon over the top of the berries.

Bake at 350 for around 30 minutes.

I used Namaste Gluten Free Flour that I picked up from Costco.  For the butter I used Earth Balance Soy Free "Butter".

My family has requested that next time I increase the crust so there is more "crunch."  I might also add some almond flour since we are not nut free (for the time being).  Next time I will also be making the crust from a gluten free pancake and waffle mix.
