Blueberry Muffin Smoothie #blueberry #yummy
Skip the muffin and drink a healthy, gluten-free Blueberry Muffin Smoothie that tastes like one instead!
a few weeks ago I mentioned that I’ve been cutting way back on sugar with the help of Jacqueline Smith’s Go Sugar Free course (<– affiliate link) and have had a lot of success. at this moment I’ve not had candy in over 60 days which is absolutely bonkers, and the real reason I wanted to go for it. Love(d) me some candy!
Let’s be real, I haven’t been perfect. I’ve enjoyed a couple bourbon balls a reader from Kentucky so generously sent me, several spoonfuls of homemade hot fudge sauce the sweetest reader (see what I did there) brought to a Join My Journey event last month, and a few sugary recipes I’ve posted here on IGE.
Clearly I can’t say I’ve completely kicked my sugar habit, but truly my consumption of the sweet stuff has dropped at least 95% over the past 60 days and the course has taught me to be more sugar selective moving forward. Plus my taste buds have become ultra sensitive to sugary foods. Total win in my book.
That being said, I still crave a sweet treat at night every now and again so I’ve been turning to Blueberry Muffin Larabars which are naturally sweetened with dates, unsweetened dried blueberries, lemon, vanilla, and blueberry juice concentrate. OMG they are so good! Even better when you’ve left one in the car on a hot summer day and it tastes like you’re eating a warm blueberry muffin.
anyway, already long story short I attempted to make homemade Blueberry Muffin Larabars the other day and it was a complete disaster. Sticky, way too sweet, and just, blech. Some things are better left to the professionals.
