Hot...Blueberry Pie for Breakfast....

[NoMoreLCforMe]

I haven't tried many recipes, but this one is a winner.  I love it with blueberries and don't need to add any artificial sweetner.  This will come in handy in the winter when it's too cold for smoothies.

I tried this recipe this morning and it's delicious.  Although nothing is like the real thing, except the real thing, it did curb my craving for oatmeal, plus it was very tasty!  Thanks for sharing!

Kinda,
      I was in the store the other day and I did find canned pumpkin  BUT  for the small can it was 3 dollars and 89 cents! can you believe it!  Wow! I guess I don't want any till fall.

Just wondering if there is a LDL recipe posted here for pumpkin ice cream? Maybe one is out there somewhere but I fail to see it?

Thanks!

There is a recipe for a hot pumpkin smoothie that is wonderful, and I bet you could put it in the freezer for icecream. Or you could use some organic Pumpkin Pie filling and blend it with frozen bananas. That would taste good also.

Thanks Linda RN. I'll look for that recipe~

Here is the recipe in case you had trouble finding it:


HOT PUMPKIN SMOOTHIE
« on: November 12, 2008, 09:35:31 AM »

________________________________________
PAT’S FAVORITE “HOT PUMPKIN SMOOTHIE” for cold weather eating

2-3 cans Cannellini or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed (I also use Navy Beans, too).
1 can sliced carrots, drained
1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, undrained
3 cans no sugar added pear halves, undrained
2 cans lite or no sugar added peach slices or halves, undrained
1 15 oz. can 100% pure pumpkin
(The original recipe had 1/3 cup of Splenda, but I made it w/o the Splenda and thought it was so much better, so I"ve changed it.)
1 large Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
¾ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp allspice

Using the VitaMix or blender, process as many cans of whatever will fit in at one time.  I usually put in one can of beans, and two cans of fruit. (Using the large container.)  Less than that in the small container. Add spice and Splenda to one of the batches. Purée until very smooth and pour into large plastic container. Mix well with a whisk.  Refrigerate. When ready to serve, ladle some into a microwave safe bowl and heat up. Makes 6-7 hearty servings.

Ooh, what a great idea. I love the pumpkin smoothie, but never thought about freezing it and making ice cream. Duh! 

I'm putting this on my list to try!

Thanks

I love this recipe.  So simple to make and a change to the usual smoothie.  I don't put sugar or any type of sweetener.  The bananas are sweet enough.  I now know what to do with my ripe bananas.  I no longer have to throw them out, which I usually do when they start developing those brown spots.  Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Have been wanting to try banana ice cream. Had it today...........So good I thought I was cheating......   Wither

I was just searching for something incredible to make for supper tonight  and I probably should have stopped when I found the blueberry pie. NoowI've seen so many delicious ideas that will take me forever to try them all.

Jem...don't forget you can freeze bananas and they taste to good that way!  I freeze them before they get to the over ripe stage by peeling, slicing and putting them in plastic bowls.  I used to use freezer bags but they stuck together too much.  Once they freeze you can put them in bags to save your bowls.  Take out what you need when you want a delicious sweet snack.  You can either pop them in your mouth frozen or let them sit out for a few minutes.  I tell you, put a frozen grape and banana in your mouth at the same time you will never want ice cream again.  Lisa

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....Frozen bananas and grapes!

Hi All,
            Has everyone ever tried ring peaches?  They are kinda purple and shaped like a plum but have a taste of peaches and plums together. They are really good. Something a little different.

I am totally new so wonder if that is ok to eat all of the blueberry pie at one sitting.  I love the idea of the blueberry pie but as a diabetic I need to make sure my levels will stay even. 

[LINDA RN]

Welcome Milrose to the message boards and to this wornderful way of eating.
There are several diabetics here that may chime in, but once your blood sugars are under control you should be able to eat an abundance of fruit, but everyone is different, so I would start with just normal servings and see how your sugars respond. You will need to monitor your blood sugars closely especially if you are on insulin. It may take a week or so of being off all processed food before all the toxins exit so you want to prevent severely hyper and hypo glucemia. You will be the best judge of what and how much your body will be able to handle.

Please come back and let us know how you are doing. We are here to help. You may want to start a daily journal like BMorg and Vickiann has done and post your fasting sugars each day along with what and how much you ate and any other sugar readings you do during the day. This way of eating can only help you.

I love all the helps and recipes here on LDL!! 
I'm having our Canadian Thanksgiving a week late and I am going to try these ideas for Blueberry Pie today!
I'm getting braver! 
So thankful on Thanksgiving for many blessings from God and LDL is definitely one of them!

I have also used frozen mixed berries when I've run out of blueberries...it's very tasty.
