Tropical Smoothie Recipe
Have you guys made any resolutions for this year? I never make one, I’m not good at keeping resolutions and when I fail, I feel like such a looser! But every beginning of the year I make sure I reevaluate my diet and lifestyle as possible and try my best to incorporate a healthy smoothie like this eye catching tropical smoothie recipe in my daily routine! Because every end of the year, around holidays I tend to fall off the wagon and eat too many cookies, cakes and high calorie food (thank you Santa!); or so it seems to me.

I may be a foodie and crafter at heart but I’m also healthy conscious and above all, I’m a mother who needs to be a role model to her daughter. She tends to copy everything I do so I figured making healthy choices and leading an overall happy, balanced lifestyle would be a good strategy to raise a kid the right way.
So I’ve decided to pick up some healthier habits and this berry smoothie recipe, which you’ll find detailed below, will be a constant companion. Don’t you love all those bright colors and this otherwise simple and super quick to make pineapple orange smoothie?
Many New Year’s resolutions include eating better and exercising. If these are your resolutions too, this tropical smoothie recipe can help with both. Research has shown that consuming berries after your workouts can help muscle recovery and oxidation stress that occurs during exercise.
Adding berries to your diet will also boost your antioxidants. Science has confirmed that diets rich in antioxidants can help us maintain good health, especially with respect to aging and age-related disorders. So what are you waiting for? Go grab the ingredients and let’s make a yummy, healthy pineapple berry smoothie!
Mixed berry smoothie
Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- half a cup chopped pineapple

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional)
Directions:
- Peel and grate ginger.
- Put berries, pineapple, juices, yogurt, honey or sugar if you use, vanilla extract and spices in a blender. If you are using frozen berries, put those last, a few at a time to avoid getting them trapped in between the blades (or is it just my blender?).
- Process until smooth.
- Pour into 2 tall glasses.
- Enjoy as a quick breakfast or a refreshing afternoon snack.
