Recipe of the Week: Watermelon & Pineapple Smoothie

Hello rays of sunshine.
I am actually sticking to a healthy eating plan! What has happened to me? I really am enjoying it though. I feel a lot better, and I can see changes in my skin and body. I have been loving reading other’s blog posts about food, so I can only hope you enjoy mine as much as I enjoy theirs. This week I just put a bunch of random stuff into my new Nutribullet, and hoped for the best. The Watermelon-Pineapple Smoothie recipe is quick and easy! Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

2 cups diced watermelon
1/2 of a banana
5-7 chunks of pineapple
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of chia seeds

Directions:

1.Put the watermelon, pineapple, and banana into the blender first.

2.Next, put the greek yogurt into the blender and sprinkle the chia seeds on top.

3.Blend until you achieve the desired thickness.

4.Pour into the cup of your choice and enjoy!

Results:
I will admit the first time I made this smoothie I didn’t add pineapple, and it was so boring. The flavor was really lacking and it just did not do much for me. That is the good thing about smoothies though! They are a bit of trial and error. The final recipe that I have put above was delicious. The pineapple offers a natural sweetness, so there is no need to add sugar. The chia seeds are packed with good fatty acids and fiber to help you feel full longer. Due to the amount of watermelon in the smoothie, I found it unnecessary to add water. Overall I would give this smoothies two thumbs up! This may become my go-to drink in the summer.

PS. Sorry for the crummy picture. The lighting in my kitchen SUCKS!

Much Love,
SammySunshine
