Pineapple Ginger Smoothie Recipe




Ingredients:



1 1/2 cups diced fresh pineapple

1 banana

1/2 cup greek yogurt (I used vanilla, but you can choose your favorite flavor)

1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger

1/2 cup ice

1/2 cup pineapple juice or water

Method:



Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Serve immediately.



Ali’s Tip:



For a different twist, try adding in a pinch of ground cinnamon to this smoothie!

Baby Blue Punch

(0.13 ounce) package blue, berry flavored unsweetened drink mix
1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
1 (64 fluid ounce) bottle white cranberry juice
8 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 cup white sugar, or to taste

In a large punch bowl, stir together the drink mix, lemon-lime soda, and white cranberry juice. Taste, and stir in sugar to your liking. (I like to add the whole cup.) Float scoops of ice cream on the top. The ice cream melts somewhat and turns the punch a beautiful baby blue color with frothy white clouds floating on the top.
Great for a baby boy shower...float a couple rubber ducks in the top

Our Favorite Berry Smoothie

1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup soy milk
1 cup frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries are our favorite)

splash of blueberry pomegranate juice (to preferance)

Blend until smooth. (Sometimes I do add more berries. These measurements are approximate because it varies each and every time I make it)
