Banana Hemp Faux-gurt Deliciousness

Recently my skin has been a little upset with me; a little hot and bothered if you will. We can call it stress (remember that time I wrote a book, led a retreat, got engaged, planned a wedding, had a dad with cancer and launched a new website/video program in the span of three months?), or we can call it a little wake-up call. Either way, I’ve been dealing with persistent eczema which flares up when I eat certain foods. I tracked it down through the process of elimination to egg whites and pineapple (and then did an IgG allergy test and didn’t I pat myself on the back for being a good nutritionist when the test confirmed my intuitive/elimination diet results). What I realized was not that eggs and pineapple were the villains, but that I had let a lot of things that were once rare treats like goat and sheep cheese, organic tortilla chips, yogurt, spelt and chocolate become too regular. Now, I know none of those things are terrible foods, but when you’re prone to immune system nonsense as my little bout with Crohn’s disease 6 six years ago clearly revealed, I do still have to be careful. And so, in an effort to clean up my act, I got creative in the kitchen. Hence- this gem of a recipe that might just be the first recipe in my second book (what?- a girl can dream big, right?). I love berries and yogurt and wanted to make something that could fill that love that wasn’t yogurt. Coconut kefir is a super great option but I didn’t have 24 hours to spare. I wanted this treat immediately. I used my fave seed ever: hemp. And then blended up some magic. The only real question that remains: is this yogurt substitute breakfast or dessert? Print

  1. Ohhhhh, this looks delicious! Perfect for a beautiful day like today :)

    You are one crazy busy lady! Hope you are getting much needed and deserved rest this weekend… <3

  2. This looks amazing. I just got your irish sea moss in the mail today and am super excited to finally use it to make thick yogurt, pudding and mouse type recipes like this one!

  3. This looks delicious! I’m cottaging in a few weeks and am going to put this on the menu.

    Hope you had a winderful, relaxing weekend Meghan!

  4. Yum Delicious! I am on lots of food restrictions as well to deal with some lingering allergy symptoms. Love this recipe and will be whipping it up very soon!

  5. Congrats on the engagement. Haven’t checked in here for a while; what happy news. So, any thoughts on a good soy-free, banana free make-at home yogurt-type concoction? Banana’s and i had a disagreement a few years ago that has yet to be resolved. Brain said to stop eating them; body explained why when i didn’t listen to brain. We’re working on the communication thing…

  6. I am so digging on this hemp-gurt! Brillant idea. I am thinking of rocking this with some avocado just as soon as I get some irish moss.

  7. I’ve had this on my “gotta make” list for a loooong time and finally made it for breakfast this morning. It is amazing. I ran out of hemp seeds so I made it with 1/2 hemp and half cashews. I prepped it the night before and poured it into cups. It thiclened up nicely overnight and tasted great. Definitely becoming a breakfast staple!

  8. […] Create a dairy-free hemp “fauxgurt“ […]
