Easy Gluten Free Smoothies

With the discovery of Michael's serious and complex food allergies, I have created my first gluten free recipes for him. We enjoyed them and found them very filling. You can easily take this recipe and pour them into either popsicle molds or ice cube trays to make juice bars or chocolate popsicles for treats.

Pear and Applesauce Smoothie:

1 can of sliced pears with juice (or for a sugar free version use 2 whole pears and cut in slices)
( I used Del Monte since the ingredients are very simple)
1 cup of applesauce or 1 whole apple cut in slices
8 ice cubes
1 tablespoon orange honey

Blend and serve. Makes about 2 small cups. For more servings, double the ingredients.

Alternatively, for a chocolate version, you can vary this recipe easily.

Chocolate Pear and Applesauce Smoothie:

1 can of sliced pears with juice
( I used Del Monte since the ingredients are very simple)
1 cup of applesauce or 1 whole apple cut in slices
8 ice cubes
2 tablespoon orange honey
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Blend and Serve. Makes about 2 small cups. For more servings, double the ingredients.
