SO Delicious Pineapple Smoothie


This smoothie has been a Fish Fam favorite for a long time! 

It's super easy with only 2 ingredients and tastes oh so good!!!!


All you do is cut up one whole fresh pineapple and add some So Delicious Coconut Milk.

That's it! 

*Being that we are overseas I can't get "Organic SO Delicious Coconut Milk", but thankfully I found "Coconut Dream" at the commissary. You can find it next to the supplements on the top shelf above the Lara Bars and other energy bars.

Tips:
  • Make sure the pineapple is ripe. It will be brown and soft. If it's too soft it's really ripe, mostly likely over ripe.
  • The bottom of the pineapple will smell sweet. 
  • After it's ripe put the pineapple in the fridge to make it cold. 
  • Add 1/2 cup -1 cup of coconut milk. Just enough to get it blending. Too much milk takes away from the pineapple taste and makes it too liquidly.
  • Add ice if desired for a thicker, colder, crunchier smoothie. Just start with a little. 
  • Turn them into popsicles!!

I make this smoothie on a weekly basis and freeze it into popsicles. I love Ikeas little kids popsicle molds. Not too big, not too small. Perfect size....

You can also add some fresh sliced strawberries. Yum!


Good Info:

Pineapples are full of awesome vitamins and minerals and also have a powerful enzyme called Bromelian that has great health benefits! Bromelain helps with inflammation, swelling, & treating sore muscles. Bodybuilders certainly know how important it is to get bromelain into their bodies to recover. For me it's awesome to juice or eat fresh pineapples when I have sore calves and muscles from running, cycling, or ballet. Fresh pineapples also helps build strong bones and helps with indigestion and acid reflux. Can't go wrong when choosing a wholefood like pineapple, just go easy on it and don't eat too much at one time. Good facts here.

Now go enjoy your "So Delicious Pineapple Smoothie"!!!!!!
