One of the kids in my life returned from Italy recently. She went on a school trip to Italy with her high school. The same school trip that I went on when I was in high school. I’ll be entertained with her pictures tonight and I’m sure that one of the pictures will be the pineapple that’s in the Courtyard at the Vatican Museum. In honor of the occasion, I decided to whip up a batch of yummy pineapple smoothies.
Pineapple Head Smoothie
1/2 cup water (optional)
1/2 whole pineapple, golden and ripe
1 whole mango, peeled and cubed (fresh or frozen)
6-7 whole leaves mint
2-3 cups of spinach
Blend pineapple and mango together. Use water if desired. I have a fairly low powered blender so I always need water to get things started. Some of the higher powered blenders may not need additional water. Also, the riper your fruit is, the less water you’ll need. Add mint leaves and spinach and blend until smooth. For a nice treat in the summer, add a few handfuls of ice for a frosty treat.
