Sunday Sips: Raspberry Banana Smoothie
Jul 08, 2012

I’d fallen off the smoothie wagon for awhile.  It’s been all about eggs for me in the mornings.  But now that summer is here, my love of the breakfast smoothie has been re-energized!

Also, I recently bought a Margaritaville blender.  And to justify the cost, I knew that I would be making more than just margaritas in it.  :)

Pineapple Vanilla Green Monster Smoothie
Jul 31, 2011

Can we all agree to LOVE Justin Timberlake? He can do no wrong.

I like the JT/Jimmy Fallon History of Rap 2 even better than one. I still have that episode of Jimmy Fallon on my DVR.

Can also we all agree to LOVE Andie on Can You Stay For Dinner? too? Her food blog is beautiful. She recently did a series on healthy foods that she loves. One of the items was frozen pineapple. I immediately went and bought some!

Pineapple Vanilla Green Monster Smoothie

Ingredients:

6 ounces non-fat plain Greek Yogurt
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I use Spiru-Tein, but whatever floats your boat!)
1/3 cup Almond milk
about a handful of frozen pineapple cubes
about a tsp of Chia seeds
2 handfuls of spinach
2 handfuls of crushed ice

It’s a smoothie…just eyeball the ingredients. There’s no precision to my smoothie makin’. Combine in your mixer or as always with me…my immersion blender!
