This Pineapple Tropical Smoothie is exactly what you need to cool down, refresh and re-energize on a hot summer day. A nice, cold smoothie fame with fresh pineapple, mango, mint and lime.
Hey guys! Long time, no “see.” I hope you haven’t forgotten me. It’s been a crazy-busy summer. Then again, when is summer not busy, right? At least it’s mostly good kind of busy. Summer vacations, family time, getaways. Days are filled with all that fun pool time, beach time, water parks, and any other fun way to beat the summer heat. Little man and I have been having a lot of beach time because the pools are too packed with people and water parks are too far. Beach is the best anyway.
When it comes to drinks and food, FROZEN is what it’s all about in the summer. Sometimes, the only way to cool down is to sip on something frozen and delicious. Well, I happen to have something frozen and delicious for you right here. This frozen treat is perfect from dusk to dawn and is packed with fresh fruit. Tropical flavors are abundant here and mixed with refreshing mint and lime. Every sip will make you forget about the heat and remember everything you love about summers.
