Super refreshing and filling thanks to the fiber from the greens and fruit, this blueberry pineapple smoothie really hits the spot.
As temperatures climb frosty drinks offer a welcome salvation from the heat, especially when you can barely stand the thought of a hot meal.
Even when it’s hot outside and my appetite isn’t what it used to be, I’m always happy to sip on something cool and refreshing like a smoothie.
Super refreshing and filling thanks to the fiber from the greens and fruit, it really hits the spot on a hot summer day. I absolutely love it for breakfast; quick, easy and nutritious it’s a great way to start off the day and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Pour it into a thermal cup if you’re running low on time in the mornings and need to get out the door in a hurry.

Susan says
That was a lot of work to get to the recipe, and to then have to figure out how to mesh your comments with the actual recipe. Sorry, but having to do all that work for the recipe is not worth it for me. I would much prefer to have it all in one place. If you have another recipe on the BH&G site like that, I will not be chasing it down, no matter how good it might sound. I'm sorry to be so negative, but this experience really got to me.
