Super Smoothies :: Pineapple Honey Smoothie

Are you looking to kick start your Saturday morning with a super smoothie? I hear you, so today I’m sharing one of my favorites. It’s a special treat, using fresh pineapple from Hawaii and local honey. Of course, this recipe can be made with canned pineapple, but make sure it’s water-packed and not preserved in sugary syrup – that would defeat the healthy purpose of your smoothie 😉 Pineapple is a great source of manganese, which helps to keep your bones strong and it also provides a high amount of vitamin C. As you can see, I made a pitcher (4 servings) and it didn’t last very long between myself, Mr. Smith, and our Little (hungry) Lion. It’s just so delightfully delicious!

Pineapple Honey Smoothie
Serves 4

2 cups of pineapple chunks (remove the tough center)
1/2 cup mango chunks, frozen or fresh
1/2 banana, sliced
1/4 cup carrot juice
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 Tablespoon of ground flax seeds
2 Tablespoons of honey
4 ice cubes
  1. In a blender, place pineapple chunks with almond milk and carrot juice.
  2. Blend on medium until smooth.
  3. Add in the mango, banana, hone, flax seeds, and ice cubes.
  4. Use pulse or ice crush to break down the ice cubes and mango (especially if frozen).
  5. Then blend on medium-high until smooth (around 2 minutes).
  6. Pour into glasses and drizzle the top of each individual serving with extra honey and garnish with a slice of pineapple. 
Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!
