Heal your gut. Heal your life.
It’s fitting that I share my Gluten Free Recipe Roundup Six today because recently I received the following private message, “There is a high school girl here that just found out she had Celiacs and is devastated.”
I once created Spicy Sweet Potato Fries for a client. Since then, I have made a couple minor changes to the recipe, and with colder days ahead, changed their title to Comfort Spicy Sweet Potato Fries. Because, yes, friends, that’s what these are – a comfort food.
I have Certified Gutsy Nutiva Organic Coconut Manna.
As part of my Non-GMO Month Dedication to Tracy, I promised to certify one new product, making sure it was something The Daily Grind carries.
I asked for a list of everything Tracy ordered for the The Daily Grind, and when I got the list I was beaming with excitement. So many awesome things, so much care for what locals have access to!
Because I saw this product in there when I was home in September (and have especially close ties to the company), I wanted to give the full stamp of approval for it.
As a reminder, here is what Certified Gutsy means.

organic whole coconut puree
“We call this delicious puréed coconut butter “coconut manna” because if ever there was a food from heaven, this is it. An incredibly tasty, whole superfood made of pure, dried coconut flesh; you can enjoy it straight from the jar, or warm it up to spread the goodness! This tropical melt-in-your-mouth treat contains fiber, protein and nourishing fats.” (Nutiva) You can find this product on Amazon, in most natural grocery stores, via Thrive Market, and (of course) at The Daily Grind.
100% organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, contain no cholesterol and are made from fresh coconuts. By nature, the product is vegan, salt-free, gluten-free, dairy free, corn free, soy free, and free of all nuts. There is no added sugar, and a serving contains just 1g of sugar total.
This product is an ideal “everything” spread that can replace cream, cream cheese and butter, you can also use it in smoothies, smoothie bowls, Vegan frosting, sauces, dressings, desserts and baked goods. Also, these 35 ways to use Coconut Manna are legit. As for me? Straight spoonin’ + fat bombs.
Coconut Manna works for almost for everyone. But for those of you with active SIBO, you’ll need to proceed with caution if you plan on having more than a tablespoon or two per sitting. Coconut Oil is perfectly fine, but coconut flour and dried coconut/shredded coconut can cause problems. This is a great option for those who need an alternative to nuts. Coconut is also wonderful for those who have to follow the stringent AIP Diet (and this product was a staple dessert when I had to follow the diet).
Do you include Coconut Manna in things or do you prefer to just spoon it like me?

I’ve already told you about how much we love smoothies, right? Today I have 3 healthy smoothie recipes to share with you.
p.s. Remember, “healthy” is subjective. For the average and “normal” person, though, these are some of the best and healthiest.

But first, I need to make something very clear. People who know me in real life think that I live and preach a juicing, salad, smoothie, Vegan lifestyle. I am not sure where the miscommunication came from (after all, I did write a free e-book on how to slow cook a chicken and then make bone broth from it), but this could not be further from the truth. In fact, back in October, the World Health Organization came out with news that red and processed meats cause cancer and I cringed for the blanket statement. There is another side to that blanket statement.
This is not a post to argue one way or another, but to celebrate the fact that you can indeed enjoy juicing, salads and smoothies in addition to all things Carnivore.
As the Content Editor at Nutiva, I recently worked on 3 new smoothie recipes from Tess Masters, The Blender Girl.

Notes: If you have active SIBO (unless of course, you are currently taking the antibiotic!), this is not the smoothie for you. If you try it, you must add the chia seeds because they add such an awesome boost! {Click HERE to save this recipe for later.}
Apple Alkalaid SmoothieNotes: If you have active SIBO, you will need to replace the apple with a different fruit. I would recommend an orange, and in which case you can just call it an Orange Alkalaid Smoothie! And again, do add the chia seeds. {Click HERE to save this recipe for later.}
Notes: This smoothie recipe, while high in fruit content, is low in FODMAPS. I would, however, recommend skipping the added liquid sweetener, as the smoothie on its own is already sweet (and awesome). I added the Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil, and if you have active SIBO, you should not add in the pomegranate powder. {Click HERE to save this recipe for later.}
