I get to go on vacation!!!! Woo woo!!! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the Pacific Northwest…but when it’s the middle of winter sunshine and warmth are the things I’m longing for.  Now I’m packing and getting ready for California.  It’s gotten me in the tropical mood, so I had to make one of my all time favorite smoothies!

I make a smoothie almost everyday.  I have yet to find a tastier way to get so much health packed in! Plus, my toddler will drink them! So I add in lots of good stuff. I find it doesn’t change the flavor but if you don’t want to add it in, no worries! Stick to the basic ingredients for a yummy smoothie!

Here is my recipe for a healthy and tropical tasting smoothie!

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 cup greek yogurt
2. 1 medium peeled orange
3. 1 cup fresh chopped pineapple

6. 1 Tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
7. 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
8. 1/2 teaspoon flax seed (optional)

You know the drill…put it all in a blender!
