Mango Pineapple Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the weather heats up, all I want for breakfast is a cold, creamy smoothie! Specifically, this mango pineapple smoothie in a tall glass garnished with more fruit and a beautiful sprig of mint. I love how creamy it is, because it uses frozen fruit and coconut milk. If you keep a can of coconut milk in your pantry, and frozen mango and frozen pineapple in your freezer, you are well on your way to this smoothie! I like to add honey to sweeten it up, but it’s entirely optional here. I also like to add a small pinch of turmeric to my smoothies. The turmeric is totally optional. I add it because it has anti-inflammatory properties. I feel like I’m really hard on my body as I chase two kids around all day. If you have turmeric leftover from making my instant pot chicken noodle soup<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, this is another great way to use it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of adding a dash of turmeric to foods, I like to sprinkle it into my healthy mac and cheese with turmeric<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. This is the first mac and cheese that I serve to my kids, and it really sets them up to believe that Mac and cheese always has a vegetable in it. This will bring you much relief in the early years of feeding them, trust me on this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I make this mango pineapple smoothie, I find that my kids steal so many sips from my cup that I have to make their own. We started a summer tradition in our house of smoothie time in the afternoon. When it’s so hot outside and the kids needs to come in for a break from the sun, I like to hand them this smoothie in a straw cup so they can drink their snack. It helps them cool down, and it gives me time to apply another layer of sunscreen before they’re back outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re like me and you’re drinking this for breakfast, I love to add a scoop of flavorless collagen protein to help fill me up. If I’ve had this smoothie for breakfast, I start dreaming about making my mango mousse<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for dessert later that day, hah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
