Beat the heat and embrace the chill with this Tropical Pineapple Strawberry Smoothie! Featuring swirls of pineapple and strawberry smoothie, this easy peasy recipe takes only a few minutes to make!
While the kiddos have gone back to school and the stores have already begun their holiday takeover with all things Halloween and Thanksgiving, it is still very much Summer around here.
In fact, as long as my car feels like the surface of the sun when I get into it, it’s officially still smoothie weather! So put. down. the. pumpkin.
For us Floridians, it’s smoothie weather pretty much year round!
So back away from the pumpkin spice and raid your freezer for some icy sweet fruit.
We have smoothies to make, yo!
Smoothies are a fantastic way to kick-start your day in the morning or simply satisfy your sweet tooth as a mid-day snack.
Though I typically spike my smoothies with veggies (everything from kale to beets to spinach to carrots) I like to have a little fruity goodness up my sleeve as well.
This one tastes like a fancy mocktail with it’s tasty tropical vibe! It reminds me of a strawberry pineapple daiquiri of sorts – love it so!

Hi Phyllis! I’m having trouble logging into my Myfitnesspal account right now but you’ll just want to calculate it there with their free tool with which yogurt you choose to use. For lower calorie I’d use a non-fat yogurt!
