Today for test it our tuesday we are looking at another ah-mazing smoothie recipe. This one is from the extremely talented and absolutely stunning (both inside and out) Lisa from With Style and Grace e-cookbook Living Gluten Free with Style and Grace.

This is a crazy busy week for us, helping my mother-in-law move house and all that good stuff so to say we have a lot going is a bit of an understatement. That being said, I just had to tell you guys about this beautiful new cookbook I have in my hot little hands (/laptop?!)

We are fortunate enough in our house to be allergy free but it seems that we are hearing more and more of people suffering with one food allergy or another lately and gluten intolerance is definitely high on that list. One reason I bought this book is so I can be prepared for the day we have company with a gluten intolerance, the other reason is because I am just so in love with anything and everything that Lisa makes . . . I want to eat and drink all of the things.

$7.99 for countless tips on gluten free living, recipes for everyday along with entertaining for those special occasions. 25 gluten-free recipes, everything from smoothies, salads, breakfast, mains and desserts. Food the whole family will not only enjoy but feel good about eating. Lisa also provides several sample menu plans included (using recipes from the book) for those looking to make the change to gluten free living. Girlfriend has all bases covered and more! Plus it’s an e-book which mean you get it instantly! Holla, love that!

As soon as I had finished drooling looking through my beloved new ebook even though pushed for time I just had to make something, Anything. And of course share it with you because well . . . that’s what friends do.

This pretty pink super smoothie won the draw. The choice was slightly helped along by one sweet little lady who loves anything and everything pink. For those who follow along on Instagram will already know she enjoyed her’s very much

Last week I told you one of the many reasons I love smoothies is because it is a quick and easy way to fill your belly with a healthy meal. And it’s totally portable. You can blend this bad boy up while getting your little ones (or self or spunky husband) all packed up and ready to head out the door, pop in a straw and drink it in transit.

Winning!

This smoothie is so good on so many levels! Firstly it’s pink (←yes I am totally that girl) and secondly its packed with protein thanks to the winning combination of both milk and yoghurt, it’s a little heartier than your standard smoothie with a tablespoon of oats blended right in there. It adds a wonderful creaminess to your smoothie and being low GI and protein rich means it will help to keep you fuller for longer which is exactly what you want when your super busy right?

Ok I gotta run and you need to go make this smoothie already.

Berry, Oat and Yoghurt Super Smoothie
Slightly tweaked and written in my own words from Living Gluten Free with Style and Grace

Ingredients –

1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen however frozen will result in a thicker smoothie . . . I use frozen)

1/4 cup Greek yoghurt (I use Chobani ♥)

1 Tablespoon of rolled oats (use gluten free if sensitive)

1/2 Tablespoon of maple syrup (LIsa suggests honey or agave nectar)

1 sachet of stevia

1/2 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum (gluten free natural thicken agent that will result in an thicker smoothie)

Place all ingredients into your blender and process until smooth. Add extra milk if required to reach your desired consistency and of course extra maple syrup/stevia to taste.
