Smoothie Saturday - Pineapple Mango Smoothie

It's Smoothie Saturday!!

I think I'm going to like drinking these things!

They're yummy, filling and good for you.

I don't need dinner now that today's smoothie filled my tummy up.

And I felt like I was in the tropics while I was drinking it.

Ok, not really, but the flavors kind of reminded me of it...

It would have been nice to have been swaying in a hammock on a beautiful beach, a tropical breeze caressing my fair skin, sand in between my toes, an appointment with the handsome Amadeo for a hot stone massage at 1 pm, followed by a mani / pedi, dinner reservations on the porch of a 5 star restaurant at 6 pm with a gorgeous view of the sunset over the water, a walk hand in hand with my wonderful husband down the beach under a full moon, ended with a peaceful night of sleeping in our over-the-water bungalow while the waves lap gently below us.

*shaking her head and coming back to reality*

Oh, oh, sorry.  I started daydreaming a bit there and really lost it with the thought of that handsome tall, dark man giving me a massage.  Yes, I know I'm married, and quite happily, too.

I'm still human though!  

Don't worry, there's NO way I'd jeopardize my marriage and my family.  I am COMPLETELY blessed and I know it.

Besides, that sand between the toes thing really made my skin crawl anyway.

*shudders*

I can't STAND the feeling of sand between my toes!!!!!

And I was raised on a beach.

Ok, not on necessarily, but like, on the edge.

Reminds me of the movie Shrek, "I'm a donkey on the edge!"

I digress.

As usual.

At least I'm entertaining, right?

Maybe.

Kinda?

Sorta?

Hunh?

Pineapple Mango Smoothie - serves 1

1 mango, peeled and diced

1 cup pineapple, diced (I used canned)

2/3 cup crushed ice

1/2 cup pineapple juice (yes, from that can)

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon flaxseed meal

Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix on high until smooth.

Pour into a glass (or if you want you can drink it from the blender.  I won't tell.)

It actually made more than is in this glass, I just did this for photo purposes.  It probably amounted to 2 1/2 of these glasses.

I rate everything I make on a scale of 1-4 and this Pineapple Mango Smoothie earned 3 1/2 rolling pins.

Sounds weird giving a smoothie rolling pins.

I think it should be a straw rating.

I don't know if that would confuse people. 

What do you think, rolling pins or straws for Smoothie Saturdays?

Alright, I'm off.

I'm playing my son in a mean game of Words with Friends and I'm in it to win it, man!

He's dogmeat!

I'm kidding.  That's a mean thing for a mother to say.

I should be encouraging and loving and building my child's self-esteem.

C-H-A-I-N-S for triple word, boy!!  BOO YAH!!

Oh, sorry...

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

I give you BIG baking hugs and muffins!!
