Berry Pineapple Smoothie

Happy Day, everybody! I'm in a really good mood this week.

You see, I'm about to take a trip with some incredibly awesome girls to a place I've wanted to go for years: NYC.... don't worry I won't bust out in the "Annie" song. But I am outrageously excited.

There are so many places to go and see. My camera is coming along with me, and I hope to get some great pictures.... and maybe some new clothes :)

But back to food. I love food. Josh and I have been whipping up new recipes like it's going out of style. The problem is, however, that we consume it quicker than I can snap my camera at it... so.... I'm sorry; the new interesting recipes are going to have to wait.

In the meantime, you can never get enough smoothies can you? I can't. Especially in the summer. I'm a sucker for tart smoothies hence the berries with the pineapple, but adding some sweetness like truvia or honey really make this a refreshing way to start your morning.

Berry Pineapple Smoothie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries
1/4 cup frozen pineapple
About 1 1/2 cup So Delicious coconut milk
1 packet Truvia (agave nectar or honey would be good, too)
Scoop of soy protein powder
optional: a tablespoon of flaxseeds

If you plan on using flaxseeds, whirl them in the blender for a minute before adding the remainng ingredients. Throw the berries and pineapple into the blender. I pour enough coconut milk to reach to the 2 cup mark in blender with the fruit already in it. Add the truvia or honey and blend well. If the smoothie seems a bit thick, you can always add a little more coconut milk or water. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Jill
