- ¼ tsp. glucomannan
Instructions

Notes
*If using homemade frozen okra, be sure to blanche the okra before freezing to help cut down on some of the slime.
**I actually use part almond milk, part water, to save money. If you have a nut allergy, try carton (not canned) coconut milk in place of the almond milk. (Most people with nut allergies can have coconut products, but check with your doctor first.)
Be sure to use frozen okra and frozen blueberries since this recipe does not call for any ice. If you feel like a cup of okra is too much for you either in taste or texture, try subbing half of it with ice.
