Super Smoothies :: Pineapple Green Smoothie
I never thought that I would be the one downing these green smoothies like they were going out of style, but I can’t tell you how AMAZING they make me feel. Back in the day (way back), when I was first living on my own, I used to like to drink a nice ice cold diet coke first thing in the morning. Oh yeah, I di-id. But times have changed for the better and now it’s a tall glass of refreshing, energy-giving green smoothie. It’s the bomb.
And yes, I’m still surprised at how yummy they taste, because my brain still goes…ewe, green smoothie, until it gets a sip down and switches gear into a major happy dance: “Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing yeah, yeah”. I double dog dare you to try this one and not like it 🙂

I used to drink green smoothies in the morning, but have since stopped because of stupid reasons like having to clean the blender. This sounds just lovely, and pineapple is one of my favourite fruits, so sweet and juicy and golden I can’t imagine it tasting anything other than amazing!
shuhan from mummyicancook!
I love fresh pineapple in smoothies! I need to give this a try!
I can see why this is so refreshing and beats the crazy out of diet coke 😀

Cleaning any appliance can be a drag, but the outcome is worth it!! I feel so energetic after downing one of these 🙂
I had a recipe for one that I was drinking this summer… spinach and avocado with oj and a banana. YUMMO!
