Happy New Year! How are you all doing with your resolutions? Many of you probably decided that losing weight would be one of them, right? I have that on my list also. 30 pounds of baby weight to get rid of (10 of them already gone). So I feel your pain! I’m starting off January with a month of smoothies. My goal is to get you 20. I figure that’s not too bad, one every other day. I drink them every morning, and I am always changing the ingredients based on what I have in the fridge or feel like that day. They fill me up (lots of fiber) and it’s a great way to start the morning. Not to mention the easiness, my sister just gave me her nutribullet, so I can make smoothie for lunch when I feel like it too! I hope you like this first one, I love the taste of pineapple, and both basil and pineapple are so good for you. Basil is a good source of magnesium, helps with cardiovascular health, and helps with inflammation (hello, vitamin A)!
- 1 cup of pineapple (fresh or frozen)
- 1 handful of basil
- 1 cup of spinach
- 1 cup of non dairy milk
- 1 cup of water
- ice (optional, good if you are not using frozen pineapple
- Blend until smooth
- Serve immediately
