Tasty Tuesday

We usually associate smoothies with a breakfast replacement meal... but I prefer to use them as a snack or dessert.  Smoothies are filled with fruits that make a delicious and nutritious treat that can help curb your cravings for other sweet treats! Although fruit is filled with sugar, it's also filled with fiber, vitamins, and minerals that offset the amount of natural sugar found in the fruit.  Give this recipe a try when you want a nutritious treat that won't push you back!!
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups fresh or thawed pineapple chunks
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, halved and pitted
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
Directions:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender in the order listed.  Blend until smooth.
