Tapioca Pudding (dairy-free, vegan) &
an iHerb giveaway for two of you!

Congratulations Millie & Heather! Please email me, so I can get you your prizes :-) Kelly (insert @ symbol) theSpunkyCoconut.com


I'm so excited to do another giveaway for iHerb! I just love giving you free stuff :-) Here's how this one works:

iHerb offered me $25 worth of complimentary products, which I also get to give away to two of my readers. Yay! So I chose ingredients that I thought you (and I) would enjoy, plus I created a recipe to go with them. Now two of you will win these great ingredients.

And the ingredients are...

Small Pearl Tapioca, Organic Cashews, Vanilla liquid stevia,
& White Chia Seeds

Something I love about iHerb is that (as a US resident), when I spend $40 or more, the shipping is free. So cool. And they have all kinds of other great stuff too, like Hemp Seeds, Raw Cacao Powder, buckwheat groats, Guar Gum, liquid Evening Primrose Oil, because Ashley needs tons of Omega 6 (surprisingly), and Goji Berries, for pie, smoothies, & ice cream (soak for 10 minutes before using).

So don't be shy about registering with iHerb—I've been using them for a long time, and they don't spam you.

In order to win this giveaway you must register at iHerb, and do at least one of the following:

* Leave me a comment on this post.
* Subscribe to this blog (look under the link to Facebook), and leave a comment on this post telling me that you are subscribed.
* Follow/"like" me on Facebook, and comment on this post to tell me.
* Follow me on Twitter, and comment on this post to tell me.
* Tweet about this giveaway, and comment on this post to tell me.
* Post a message on your Facebook wall about this giveaway, and comment on this post to tell me.
* Post about the giveaway on your blog, and comment on this post to tell me.

Do more than one of those, and you have multiple chances to win :-)

This giveaway is open to US residents. International residents will be responsible for any additional customs fees, duties or taxes. The giveaway closes Friday, July 23rd, at midnight Mountain Time.

I will select a winner using Random.org. and announce the winner the day after the contest closes.—That's a week from tomorrow, so remember to check back again and see if you won!

And now, as promised, here is my recipe for dairy-free, vegan tapioca pudding, made with these ingredients :-)


Tapioca Pudding:

Dairy-free, Vegan

Using a small mesh strainer, rinse 1/3 cup small pearl tapioca.
Add the pearls to a pot with:
3/4 cup water

Set the timer, and let soak for 30 minutes.

Add:
2 & 1/4 cups cashew milk
10 drops vanilla liquid stevia
1/8 tsp salt

Bring to simmer, watching it carefully so it doesn't boil over.

Reduce to lowest setting & simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat & let cool for a few minutes.

Stir in:
2 tbsp chia seed meal (equal to 1 tbsp chia seeds)
Note: I use my coffee grinder to turn the chia seeds into meal.

Serve warm or cold.

Caution: This recipe is SERIOUSLY delicious ;-)

♥, Kelly

Hi Kelly,

I just registered at iHerb.

I have some questions. I'm brand new to this whole gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free thing. Just went to a nutritionist/herbalist and found out that my body just doesn't do well with these. I've gone 5 days without, and I know I need to make a full transition in order to succeed. Right now I'm just eating whatever meat, fruits, and vegetables I can. So my question is: for someone like me, who is trying to do a complete 180, where do I start? What are the basics I should stock up on? How much should I plan to spend a month? How do I eventually transition my family into it as well? I live in Utah County and it seems like there aren't a ton of options for buying food around here. Should I get most of it online? My questions may require an entire post or two, but after stumbling upon your blog, I felt encouraged (whereas usually I feel discouraged). I'm hoping that following your blog just might be the inspiration I need. I need to know that I can live a completely normal life this way, and I get that feeling from your blog.

Thank you for your posts so far. I will continue to research them, and I look forward to hearing more.

Amanda

Kelly said...

Hi Amanda! I wanted to tell you there are TONS of great resources on the right hand side of my blog: Links to amazing gluten-free bloggers to inspire you and give you recipes, links to places I shop online, my grocery shopping guide that I posted not long ago, videos, and other ways to connect with people also eating gluten-free, like joining us on Facebook. My advise would be to keep it simple when you feel overwhelmed, and gradually add more complicated recipes as you feel like it :-)

Kristi B. said...

Yummy! Thanks for the great recipe and giveaway!

Amanda said...

Thanks Kelly,

I noticed all the great stuff you have on your sidebar after I commented. The grocery list is very helpful. Until tonight I've just been snacking on meat, fruit and veggies, not knowing how to make a meal out of it. But tonight I made the Oven Omelets for the whole family. Although my kids didn't love it, my husband and I were very pleased. It was nice to eat a healthy meal all together.

Thank you for all of the great info. I will continue to follow your blog, and will look into other blogs as well.

Amanda

I love all the recipes that I've tried from your blog (and I've been making my way through the cookbook too). I made my mom the cinnamon rolls, and everyone loved them. She likes decadent, so I topped them with a sweet cashew cream drizzle.

Oh, and I "like" you on FB. :-)

Hi Kelly I just made the tapioca dessert using your cashew nut milk recipe. I didn't add the stevia (just a spponful or two of agave) or the chia seed. It turned out delicious and I was able to convince my husband to eat some for dessert with a drizzle of maple syrup and a mixture of berries. Delish.
