Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie



Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya...to the Florida Keys....there's a place called kokomo...that's where we wanna go....Oh don't mind me, I was just wishing for warmer climates. See, we've had a bit of a cold snap here in Tennessee and it has me longing for the warmth of the tropics. Since that's not happening any time soon, I decided to bring the tropics to me, in smoothie form. This smoothie was just what I needed on a dreary rainy day....sweet and fruity and reminded me of the carribean. Great for an afternoon snack or breakfast! Stay tuned for another tropical inspired recipe later this week!

  2. I loooove smoothies and this one sounds delish. I need to start keeping more frozen fruit in my freezer for smoothie cravings. It's still freezing in New England so I'm also wishing for warmer weather.
