Pineapple Banana Smoothie

Treat yourself to this tropical, delicious, fruity, healthy, quick and easy to make smoothie.

This recipe comes not from my own kitchen experimentation, but rather a loyal reader and smoothie enthusiast. Thanks, Corinne!

I tend to get carried away with the ingredients when concocting my smoothies; so it was nice to blend up a tasty treat that only contained four ingredients. Sometimes simple is best.

A few health benefits you’ll derive from this smoothie:

• Immune system booster
• Great for digestion and elimination
• Provides antioxidant protection
• Good for your bones
• Supports the health of your eyes
• Rich in an array of vitamins and minerals, in particular vitamin C, manganese, and potassium

The original recipe from Corinne called for frozen yogurt. I substituted an organic maple syrup flavored one. Feel free to use your preferred yogurt. Enjoy!
