Pina Colada Smoothies

Hi everyone! Hope your week is off to an excellent start! This week I'm excited to be sharing some of my favourite breakfast recipes. If you're like me, things can easily get a bit rushed when you're trying to get up and out the door for work or school in the morning. While skipping breakfast may seem like an easy way to save a few minutes, studies show the negative effects of skipping this important meal.

So today I'm sharing 2 of my favourite smoothie recipes! With the cold temps we've been having here in Winnipeg, this smoothie transports you right to a warm beach....yes please!

Pineapple Pina Colada Smoothie (serves: 1)

Ingredients

- 1 small banana, peeled and sliced into chunks

- 1 cup frozen pineapple

- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

- 1 Tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 cup milk/milk alternative (My favourite is the coconut/almond milk blend from Silk!)

Directions

1. In a blender, place all ingredients.

2. Put on lid and blend until combined.

3. Serve chilled and enjoy!

***For a Strawberry Pina Colada Smootie, replace frozen pineapple with frozen strawberries. SO DELICIOUS!
