AIP / Paleo Strawberry Mango Breakfast Shake

AIP / Paleo Strawberry Mango Breakfast ShakeThe young lady modeling in the picture today is my youngest daughter Rosalie.  It was fun for me to shoot this delicious strawberry mango breakfast shake with her.  After several takes and giggles, we got it right!  You see I am following the strict phase of the AIP – elimination diet, but I am not alone in my journey.  I have a husband and three daughters on board as well, supporting me.  After a rocky start, when I was experimenting with this new way of cooking, they settled in this new paleo lifestyle, for the most part.

While I do enjoy eating a breakfast consisting of meat and vegetables, the kids don’t really like it that much.  Plus they are always in a rush in the morning before school.  So making them a shake for breakfast is really a good option.  You can whip it up in five minutes and the flavor combinations are endless.  The current favorite at our house is the combo strawberry mango.

STRAWBERRY – MANGO

BREAKFAST SHAKE

WITH COCONUT MILK

& collagen

With coconut milk, fruits, and gelatin powder, this strawberry mango breakfast shake is a great option if you are short on time, or just craving a little something different to start your day!  If you want to add even more protein, you can certainly add a scoop or two of your favorite protein powder into the mix.

    gelatin is one of m favorite additions to smoothies, and the one we count on for protein for my little guy! Your smoothie looks great, thank you for sharing it!

    Does the Great Lakes gelatin in the red can actually dissolve without clumping? I’d been told to only use the collagen (green can) in cold drinks to avoid any weird textures…

      Absolutely! Make sure you mix well and you will be fine. The thing with the red can is that it will harden, while the green can doesn’t. So the red can is also used to make gelatin gummies!

    The coconut milk by Native Forest contains guar gum-I am on my first 30 day AIP Paleo and read that I shouldn’t consume that, curious what your opinion is? Thank you!

      Hello Amanda!

      Good question! The guar gum in coconut milk has never bothered me, even in the strict phase of AIP. Since it was the only brand that was and still is available to me, I decided that I would use it. I am of the opinion that if something work for you, don’t drive 100 miles out of your way to try something else. You see what I mean? Now if you are in the strict phase of AIP and feel that this might be a problem for you, I would recommend you to find another brand. Good luck 🙂

      Hello Cindy!

      You can use the green can! What I was trying to tell you is that the gelatin in the red can is also used to make gummies because it will harden 🙂 Sorry for the misunderstanding!

    I have to be at work at 5am, I’ve been mixing a vegetable smoothie with blueberries, bone broth, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon and a 100% cacao square. Protein powder left me hungry in an hour after drinking the smoothie and was looking an aip compliant meal replacement since I can’t take my break an hour after I get there. Any ideas?
