Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie


We had a couple days with wonderful weather this week!  The boys and I just loved being outside and having the windows open!  Unfortunately, the warm weather didn't stick around and the temps were back to the thirties :(  Join us in dreaming of warm weather by making this Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie!

Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries, tops removed (I used frozen)
1 cup fresh pineapple, cubed (I used 3/4 cup crushed pineapple from a can)
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice
2 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. truvia or other natural sweetener (I used 1/2 tsp. regular sugar)
4 cubes ice
* I also added in 1 1/2 cups of vanilla yogurt and 1 tablespoon of flax meal.
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
2. Pour into glasses and serve.
Recipe makes 3 large smoothies if you add the yogurt.
