This pineapple kiwi mint smoothie is like a taste of the tropics with every sip.
I don’t even know how to focus on this smoothie as I’m currently shoving a brownie bomb in my face as I write this.
Chocolate, sweet, sweet chocolate, oh how I’ve missed you.
Thing is, I actually feel pretty lame when I post smoothie “recipes”. They feel like part cop-out, part like I’m calling you an idiot for not being able to come up with concoctions to throw in a blender with some ice.
Really though, this is neither.
It’s just a pretty freakin’ tasty, simple combination that I hope to be drinking something very similar to in 16 days in the Dominican Republic, on a beach, in one of my new bathing suits.
Maybe with just a weeeee bit of rum though too.

Gina, this looks delicious and fresh! Can’t wait to try it!
So scrumptious, Gina! This looks so refreshing and good for ya. Thanks for sharing!
Since I’m not into the whole smoothie thing yet (someone give me a blendtec and maybe I will be ha) let’s back up a min to the brownie bomb k? ;)
Enjoy your time a way and great going, completing the Whole30…you deserve that brownie bomb and many more ;) I sometimes wonder if I should post smoothie recipes, but I think you scored with this one – it looks magnificent and actually, I’ve never thought to put kiwi or mint in a smoothie, so good going!
Lovely and refreshing!
This is almost too pretty to drink :)
Such a simple and wonderfuls smoothie! Love the combo of pineapple and kiwi! Have a great weekend!
Yes, rum is an absolute MUST! :) I’m so jealous of your upcoming trip!!
I was about to say…I hope you DO have one of these in DR, but with some kind of alcomahol in it :) haha. This sounds tasty and hey! Sometimes you need a cop-out, easier-than-life recipe and sometimes it’s so delicious that other should know about it. I mean, I can name off 84748973 recipes I’ve seen online where I’ve literally said, “I’d hardly call that a recipe.” BUT THEY’RE STILL DELICIOUS. Anyway, the thing I was getting to with this comment: I’ve never had a kiwi. Don’t hate me. Maybe I should use it in a smoothie to give it a try.
girl! try a damn kiwi! ;)
yum– can’t wait to get ready for that vacay!
