I’m obsessed with pineapples… and smoothies.
I’m sure you can relate to being into a certain food. What’s your latest food obsession? Easter candy, perhaps? You know who you are. 
That’s even more reason to hop on the smoothie bandwagon if you haven’t already.
Smoothies are where it’s at for me right now. I enjoy them for breakfast or snack. Heck, I’ll even enjoy one for dessert, sometimes, if there isn’t something more desserty around. It’s sort of like a sorbet… sort of… work with me here.
Since my blog represents what’s going on in my life, I’m going to share another awesome recipe with you even though I posted one just a couple of weeks ago. If you’ve seen that Pineapple Coconut Smoothie, no, it’s not the same as this one. I can see why you might think that since they both have pineapple in them and they both have a tropical essence to them.
I usually make up my own concoction. Throw some fruit and yogurt in a blender… wammo blammo… smoothie. I share the awesome creations with you because that’s how I roll. 
Anyway, I was looking online for some inspiration because I wanted a new smoothie combo and I found this tropical smoothie recipe. There are a bazillion smoothie recipes out there of the “tropical” variety. I’ve not tried them all (duh) but I can say that this one qualifies. All of the flavors just work here. Plus, it’s mad simple to whip up.
I made this smoothie after my kick boxing class on Saturday morning. Yes, I do kick boxing. Hiyah! I started the class a couple of years ago. I LOVE the workout and I’ve made some great friends too.
I go to my kickboxing class four times a week. One or two other days during the week I’ll fill in with a variety of other workouts. Sometimes I’ll follow a DVD workout at home. I love Bob Harper’s workouts. Other days I like to go for a run in my neighborhood, especially now that it’s getting warmer out. Well, it’s more like I jog? Fast walk? I dunno, something that resembles someone trying to run.

I completely agree! Thank you, kindly!!
This smoothie looks fantastic, Tina! I think I’m hooked on strawberries right now, but I could definitely let pineapple slide in, too. Love the pretty colors!
It’s hard to go wrong with strawberries.
