 Pearl Chats: Celebrate the flavors of the season but keep this fall a “slimming one.” This is easy to do by using our science smart ingredients in our FAT STRIPPING FRAPPA (page 240). Olivia and Mariah (the two wonderful girls working in the rubies office) and taking your THM orders have come up with this delicious fall recipe tweak on our original recipe. We hope you enjoy! - Pearl Basic Ingredients: unsweetened almond milk, water, ice, glucomannan powder, vanilla, sea salt, stevia, 100% pure pumpkin puree (this is easy to find at Walmart, just check for no added sugar), whey protein powder, pumpkin pie spice 1) Place in blender ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk and ¾ cup water. 2) Add 2 heaping TBS 100% pure pumpkin puree, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp. sea salt, ¼ tsp NuNaturals Liquid Vanilla Stevia OR 6 packets of TRUVIA, OR a few shakes of NuStevia concentrate extract, a scant ½ tsp glucomannan, and 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (if you don’t have this you can just use cinnamon). 3) Blend well before adding about 10-12 ice cubes. 4) Blend on high using a handy wooden spoon to help stir the thick mixture. Don’t get it too close to the blades. Void this step if using a Vitamix or other high end blender. 5) Add 1 scoop whey protein powder (we use Swanson Premium Brand whey protein) and blend again for a little longer watching the fluff magic take place. Taste again to see if more sweetener is need before pouring into a quart glass jar. Olivia’s tips: ALWAYS taste your end result and adjust if you are not satisfied with it! If your frappe tastes a little watery, it probably needs a pinch more sea salt (salt really helps to round out the flavor and give it a fuller taste) and a touch more stevia. Personally, I find NuNaturals Liquid Vanilla stevia to yield the best results for my frappes. I’m a little bit of a sweet tooth so I would probably use ¼ of a tsp plus a touch more, but I understand not everyone likes it as sweet as I do so feel free to adjust this to your liking. The best advice I could give you is to play around with the recipe a little until you get it to your personal liking. I also don’t like my frappes TOO icy, which is why this recipe has a little more liquid and a little less ice. Be creative and remember to ALWAYS taste and adjust : ) |

I read someplace that one of these at Starbucks has 43 g of SUGAR!!!! So glad this is a THM approved version Yikes! And I used to be obsessed with the pumpkin frappes (before I moved here to Mexico. They make them all wrong at the starbucks here) , and now I roast my own sugar pumpkins to make my own puree (since they dont sell that here either! LOL) . Necessity is the mother of all invention. cant wait to try this! I need to post in another section about a subsitute for the gluccie (since I cant get that for the next couple months till I go back to the US for a visit). I have this oat and amarantho blend that is sold here as a healthier version to make atole (normally thickened with cornstarch or white flour) or shakes. Think that might be an ok subsitute for the gluccie for now? (I should post this question probably somwhere else, right?) |

The oat and amaranth blend is too starchy, really, but it's healthier than cornstarch I think to use while you wait for some gluccie.

I tried it last night and it has a pretty intense taste, kinda overpowered the pumpkin frappe. Ill just go wtihout thickener I think until I can get some gluccie |

I used to be addicted to Dairy Queen Pumpking pie Blizzards our dairy Queen makes them year round. I find this just as tasy and so much cheaper (much better for our tight budget) But the nutritional info on the DQ Pumpkin pie blizzard that I used to think was "healthy" blows me away (and this is for a small ...I usually got a Medium)

Curlimami, have you tried ordering your glucci online? I found it on Amazon and got a big bag for pretty cheap.
