Smoothies
With a good juicer and blender can vary endlessly with smoothies.
Juicer
A juicer is especially useful if you want to juice vegetables, as a juicer separates the fibers from juice. The advantage is that the juice is easier to drink and, in my opinion tastier,. The disadvantage is of course that valuable fibers are not preserved this way.
Blender
A blender is easier cleaned than a juicer and preserves fibers of fruits and vegetables in your smoothies. The most ideal situation is having a kitchen machine that has the functionalities of both a juicer and blender. That way you can juice vegetables and high fiber fruits and then add the juice to your mix in the blender.

These flours are naturally gluten-free. If you buy any other brand, please double check if your gf flour is truly gluten free. You can read how to here.
Porridge
Porridge is wonderfully belly-warming in the morning. If you dont have a lot of time in the morning, you can make porridge the night before. In the morning, briefly pre-heat your porridge in a sauce pan. Add some milk of your choice or water, otherwise your porridge becomes too thick.
Make your gluten free porridge with for example:
- Buckwheat flakes
- Millet flakes
- Quinoa flakes
- Steel cut oats
