Dairy-Free Blueberry Lemon Float

This Dairy-Free Blueberry + Lemon Float from The Whole Smiths is brought to you in collaboration with New Barn Organic Almondmilk. It is THE ULTIMATE summer treat. Paleo-friendly and packed with fresh flavors.

It’s getting hot in herrrr’.

Here it is, the middle of summer and it is hot, hot, hot. For some reason this summer has seemed hotter than most. I’ve lost count of the number of triple digit days, maybe I’m delirious from the heat?

I wanted to create a frozen treat using New Barn AlmondCreme that would taste amazing, have clean ingredients and not be loaded down with sugar. While the hot weather doesn’t leave me with a ton of cravings, something cool and refreshing always sounds good. And since ice cream and summer go hand in hand, I’m always down. The truth of the matter though is that the treats that are cool and refreshing are often loaded up with a lot of junk and leave me feeling hot and gross.

This Dairy-Free Blueberry + Lemon Float from The Whole Smiths is THE ULTIMATE summer treat. Paleo-friendly and packed with fresh flavors.

Enter my Dairy-Free Blueberry Lemon Float.

I mean, I don’t want to say this little ditty was life changing, that sounds a bit drastic. But considering that the day I made it it was a solid 95* outside, I’m going to go with life changing. Before we get into how amazing this dessert is can I tell you how excited I am that New Barn has an almond based non-dairy ice cream made with their Organic Almondmilk that we can all enjoy? The taste and texture come from more almonds and simple ingredients, not added gums and flavors.

Speaking of flavor, they have a large variety ranging from Organic Vanilla to Organic Banana & Chocolate Chip. All of their add-ins are super premium and come from producers like Allegro Coffee and TCHO Chocolate.

Can I even say how amazing a good old fashioned chocolate milkshake would be with the Chocolate AlmondCreme and some Vanilla AlmondMilk? Mental note.

Refreshing Dairy-Free Blueberry Lemon Floats from the Whole Smiths that's paleo-friendly, vegan and vegetarian. Fresh blueberries and low in sugar, a must-make!

As I mentioned, I wanted to keep the ingredients simple and low in sugar. In lieu of white sugar I used honey and made sure not to overwhelm the blueberry compote with too much sweetness as I wanted the tart of the blueberries and lemon to pair against the sweet creaminess of the vanilla AlmondCreme.

I wanted to create a treat that tasted special but would leave you feeling guilty that you indulged.  One thing that I want to note is that I did use a bit of cornstarch to thicken up the blueberry lemon compote. I tried it with arrowroot as well and it works but I personally preferred the corn starch. The amount of cornstarch per serving is so minimal that it’s not something that I sweat. But if it is an issue for you, swap it out for some arrowroot powder instead.

Most floats are made with some sort of soda and I don’t think this needed any more sweetness so I just used plain old sparkling water and it was perfect. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t sure how that would turn out but like I said it was perfect. Using any sort of sweetened soda would have made it far too sweet for my tastes. The sparkling water was just perfect for this float.

Without further adieu, here it is! Enjoy!

Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱 In early 2020 I Obsessed. Let’s talk...🛌🥱In early 2020 I polled my audience because we were on the hunt for a new mattress. You overwhelmingly recommended @avocadogreenbrands. And then we all got locked down and I put our mattress hunt on hold. I bought a cheapie mattress online instead since we couldn’t try things out and none of us had any clue what was happening. Big mistake. HUGE. It was the worst mattress ever. So earlier this year we decided it was time to get a PROPER GROWN UP MATTRESS and went with @avocadogreenbrands.I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous about ordering online and not being able to “test” it in person. I’m here to tell you it’s one of the best things in my life. It is THE MOST comfortable mattress I have ever laid my pretty little face on. And Brad agrees.Not to mention is green and environmentally friendly.Legit, slipping into bed at night feels like a hug from heaven and I can’t even handle it. I told Brad that, God forbid, we ever divorce I’m taking the mattress with me. So, if you are on the hunt go with @avocadogreenbrands. We went with the Avocado Green mattress with pillow top. And I just looked and they’re having an early cyber/Black Friday Sale. Anyways. Obsessed and eagerly awaiting my next nap. ✌🏼
Gluten-Free Cranberry Bars Personally, one of my Gluten-Free Cranberry BarsPersonally, one of my fave desserts ever is pumpkin pie. I wish it was a year ‘round thing. BUT! If you aren’t pumpkin crazy, not into pies and need something DIFFERENT to bring to Thanksgiving this year, let it be this. Think a lemon bars more festive friend. In fact, it’s great for a Christmas too. It’s available now to my community a the link in my bio. ❤️
