                           Lush. 

Sinless Strawberry Sorbet; Vegan, Gluten-free. Serves one ( makes one BIG serving!). 

Ingredients

1. 3 cups frozen strawberries

2. 5-10 drops liquid stevia, flavor of choice (optional)

Method

1. Place frozen strawbs and optional stevia in your vitamix. Secure the top and turn it on. Blend VERY SLOWLY from low to high. When the strawberries are powdery, begin "folding in" the strawberries with the damper of our vitamix. This will create the "ice cream". 

2. Keep mashing down and around until smooth and completely creamy. Scoop out with spoon and place in large bowl. Unless you're eating it IMMEDIATELY, cover and pop in the freezer.

         Baked Snickerdoodle Oatmeal. 

                       Mmmmm. 

                   Simply perfect. 

Baked Snickerdoodle Oatmeal; Vegan, Gluten-free. Serves one. 

Ingredients

1. 1/2 cup oatmeal of choice (I used oatbran)

2. Scant 3/4-1 cup water

3. 1/2 tsp cinnamon

4. One packet stevia

5. 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a medium size oven-safe bowl, mix together oats, baking powder, stevia, and cinnamon. Add water and let sit 10-15 minutes, until most of water is absorbed. 

2. Place in oven and bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove, let cool, and enjoy!

NOTE: if you choose to use rolled or old fashioned oats instead of oatbran, you will probably want to reduce the amount of water you use. Oatbran is extremely absorbent because of the finer texture, whereas the absorption of whole oats is not as extensive.
