Re: Pineapple Smoothie - YUM!

[Guest guest]

This sounds like candy! I bet that if some of the pineapple was frozen it would make a delicious Green Pineapple Sorbet!

We just had another favorite smoothie. I had a whole cored pineapple that needed used up ASAP. I love my Vitamix MOST because not one fruit or vegetable goes to waste anymore!

Anyway, I wouldn't normally put an entire pineapple in a smoothie, but this time it was the best thing to do.

1 pineapple

3 cups spinach

2 bananas

1/2-1 cup yogurt (I think plain or vanilla would work; if you use plain, you might want to add ¼ tsp real vanilla)

2 T. white grape juice concentrate

Ice (1-2 cups?)

Organic milk (add however much you want) ~ next time I want to try coconut milk

My boys went WILD. It is dessert, and a little too sweet for me (NEVER thought I'd say that!). You might want to leave the grape juice concentrate out. Neither of my boys will eat fresh pineapple, but they both love it in smoothies! I LOVE MY VITAMIX!!!!

This beats any other kind of dessert they've been given this past week! No artificial colors, no funky chemicals, no hydrogenated oils. It's a nice color, too. I probably won't make this one very often, but the next time I see pineapple for $1.99, I know what I'm going to do with it!

And you don't have to core it!!  One of my favorite combos is:blender full of spinachhandful of cilantroa little water and blend2 oranges peeled and quartered

1 grapefruit peeled and quartered1/8 fresh beetseveral tbls of various sprouts

1 " slice of pineapple with rid removed1 tbl lime or lemon juice1 tsp cinnamonfill remaining space with frozen strawberries and keep adding as the blender runs and makes more room.

It serves 4.  I usually fill the container until it is just about over flowing.  With the beet it is reddish brown.  Without, it is brown.
