Smoothies are a fun way to dress up our usual breakfast of oatmeal. They are special and a little extra splash of fun, both things I love. This is a great winter smoothie when most fruit is out of season. I used canned pineapple juice and frozen orange juice concentrate. Easy peasy!
This is a perfect smoothie to add a handful of fresh spinach to. You would never know it was in there…all of that sweet fruit hides spinach well; it just turns it green! Mmmm green smoothies are the best. My kids gobble them up and don’t even question the color.
Orange Pineapple Banana Smoothie
1 cup ice
2 cups pineapple juice
1 ripe banana
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
Combine everything in the blender and process until smooth. If it is too thin, add a little more ice and reblend. If it is too thick, add a little more pineapple juice. If it seems a little bland, add a spoonful of orange juice concentrate. You can’t mess this up 🙂
I never would have thought of smoothies for breakfast, it will certainly add some excitement to our cereal!

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.
