Orange Pineapple Banana Smoothie
If your kiddos (or you) act like they could survive on fruit and fruit only, this smoothie will be your new best friend. It's light and fruity and tropical and refreshing, aka everything a smoothie should be! Plus, with only four ingredients, it's a breeze to whip up in the mornings (or midday... or afternoon... or for dessert... your choice!). You could even add a little Greek yogurt to make it slightly creamy and add a kick of protein to this heavenly bevvy.
My house is full of major smoothie fanatics. Smoothies are just such a simple fun and healthy treat that you can make endless renditions of -- and if you want to get really creative, try pouring the blended-up mixture into popsicle molds and sticking them in the freezer for a few hours! Homemade popsicles will win you at least 5 "cool mom" points, and that's a feat most of us can only dream of!
How many servings do orange pineapple banana smoothies make?
This all depends on how much you pour into your smoothie glass to serve! With this recipe, I'd say you could make 3 to 4 medium-sized smoothies.
What do I do if my smoothie is too thick? What do I do if my smoothie is too thin?
If your smoothie ends up a little on the thick side, add some more pineapple juice, and blend it again. If it's too thin and runny, add more ice and re-blend to incorporate and thicken it up.
Do you need to put ice in smoothies?
I guess you don't NEED to, but this smoothie won't be as cold and thick without ice. If you'd like, you can peel and freeze bananas so they're ready to make smoothies and add the frozen element instead of ice.

I just came upon your blog and can't stop reading it.First, I like your title. Like your family I have smoothies 4-5 days a week. I also use the same super foods you mentioned. I didn't' know they were called that. We have such similar interests.
