pineapple orange banana smoothie

/

I’ve been on a smoothie hiatus for far too long.

Winter + its coldness is to blame.

But, I’m over it.

They’re delicious and worth it.

Chris is under the weather, and I’ve been working 24/7 on the new blog.  We’re both in need of quick + nutrient dense meals + snacks.

I have learned a lot about blogging in the past 2 years.  Way more than I ever thought.  The new site setup has actually been fairly easy.  I’ve been plunking away, getting things placed how I want them, but it’s the more technical things that send me into a tizzy. 

  • name servers
  • CNAME
  • domain mapping
  • pointing
  • redirects
  • permalinks
  • slugs

You should see all of the pages I have open right now.

Wait, I can show you.

I’m at the point in the night where I just can’t read anything else. 

So let’s chat about this whole smoothie thing.  Quickly.

Chris + I are both currently addicted to this combination.  It’s great for sick husbands and great for in-a-hurry, currently-pulling-their-hair-out wives.

Pineapple Orange Banana Smoothie

gluten-free // yields 1 giant smoothie

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1-1.5 cups Orange juice [100% juice]
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 medium-large banana
  • 1 1/4 cups frozen pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon maca powder [optional]
  1. Blend until smooth, starting with 1 cup of OJ.  Add more to thin out to your liking. 

This will give a nice kick in the pants to any cold or stress you’re experiencing.

Feel free to make it green, with 3-4 cups of spinach.

I mean, you can’t taste it, so why not?

I froze one batch into popsicles.

Time to dig in and give the brain a rest.

Night!
