Sandy beaches of Punta Cana, Dominican Repuclic, May 2012 |
So since my last post, my tummy has been acting up - A LOT. I am not sure what exactly is going on (I think that I got so excited about my UNsalad that I was eating so much of it that my tummy just couldn't work fast enough to break it all down) but thankfully I know how to fix it: All smoothies during the day, clean dinner, lots of water and peppermint tea...no wine.
In order for me to get through the day on just smoothies, I must keep it interesting. This morning I had my staple smoothie, the Green Smoothie and a side of Trader Joe's Uncured Turkey Bacon. For lunch, I packed 32 oz of my Pina Colada smoothie. My goodness...this stuff is delicious. It makes me dream of warmer weather and salty, sandy wind blown hair. Can I go back to my honeymoon pleeeease?!
The recipe:
- 1/2 C frozen mango pieces
- 4 frozen spotted bananas
- 3/4 C frozen pineapple
- 1/2 can Trader Joe's LIGHT Coconut Milk
- 1 T vanilla extract
- Water to cover the fruit
- **Add some leafy greens to give it an extra boost - it changes the milk-shaky-ness (yep, it's a word) of it though (you have been warned!)
First, add the ingredients (in the order of the list, makes for easier blending) |
MMM. Looks pretty relish, right?! |
Indulgence time! Enjoy your Pina Colada smoothie whilst dreaming of warmer weather and sun touched skin. |
This smoothie is creamy, delicious, nutritious, and filling. It's like drinking a milk shake! Or like a Pina Colada on the white sand beaches with warm sun on my skin and a breeze blowing through my hair. ahhh. Can you tell I need a vacation/i'm SICK of the cold?! Enjoy your day-dream inducing smoothie my friends :)
