I have had allergies all my life but never had an actual allergy test until last year. My biggest concern was that I might be allergic to roses. Turned out I had no allergies at all! I looked at my blank arm, no red spots except for the 'control' one. What the heck? The doctor said I had thing where dust irritates my sinuses, he had it too. He gave me a nasal rinse and a spray, 'allergy' free for the first time ever! So that was a little disappointing. :-]
I'm not sure my body needs powdered green stuff. And you're right, stevia is nasty! (I was given a sample of it in the early 90's and it was nasty then too!) I'm going to try your recipe. All the research you've done and the brands you've tried - I'm not going to let that go to waste!
Oops, I just remembered I don't have any ice in the freezer. I'm going to go do that now. This will make a nice Sunday morning experiment!
A lot of people grow out of allergies, so it could have been that you legit were allergic to something besides dust being an irritant, and grew out of it. I actually grew into my allergies, as growing up the only thing I was allergic to was one dog (not all dogs, just the one) and Snuggle fabric softener. Now I'm allergic to half the supermarket. XD
I hope you enjoy the shake! Now I'm wanting one, even though it's two AM.
It's totally possible that I grew out of allergies. I wish my parents had me tested when I was a kid!
I made the coffee-chocolate smoothie for Sunday breakfast. I added some toasted wheatgerm, and it was SO delicious! Much better than any I've bought. So a big thumb's up for flavor. But it hiked my blood sugar so I'm going to save it for a special treat, and maybe not as my 'only' breakfast. ;-)
I'm glad you liked the favor. :) But oh no, it hiked your blood sugar, I presume significantly? Sometimes I add extra yogurt for extra protein or do an extra big scoop of whey, but that's about all I need. This shake keeps me from being hypoglycemic all the time. So sorry it didn't work out that way for you!
It was worth it to taste it! Truly delicious!
