You're gonna love this one!
It's thick, tropical and delicious. It's creamy, but dairy free. It's the perfect smoothie to make today, especially if it's as wet and dreich where you are as it is here in Scotland.
Pineapple, pears, banana, coconut milk and orange juice.
Have I told you recently how much I love my Vitamix recently? It made swift work of this smoothie. Big chunks of fruit thrown in with the other ingredients, hit the button and vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv it's smooth in seconds! Fabulous!
So forget the dismal weather and be transported to the sunshine with my smoothie.
Slurp! Slurp! Smile!

DeleteOh yes please! I plan to forget the hideous weather, turn up the central heating and slurp some of this. It's so lovely to think summery thoughts and look at summery ingredients - thank you! :-D

DeleteOoh, yummity yum. I love the idea of a coconut milk smoothie - I adore pineapple too. Ooh, I bet it was good and a lovely way to start the day.
