Tropical Green Smoothie Recipe

I tend to always make the same basic smoothie recipe–a Green Berry Kefir/Yogurt Smoothie.  I have the steps down to a science, so it’s fast, easy, healthy, and delicious!

But I didn’t realize I was in a rut….until one day when my daughter asked…

“Mommy, why don’t we ever make any other flavors?  I want to add pineapple! And apple! And beets and turnips!  I saw turnips on TV.”

So I paused and realized, “Wow, she’s right.  We do need some variety!”

So the next time I was at the store, I grabbed a bag of tropical frozen fruit mix.  (I forgot to buy beets and I have no idea how turnips will taste so those ingredients will just have to be saved for a future smoothie and a future blog post.)

But for now, we changed it up to include the tropical mix and apples.

It turned out really well! The tropical flavors were so refreshing – I felt like I was on vacation – more importantly, they reminded me about the cardinal rule of cooking “Variety is the spice of life!”
