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,
I could go for one of these right now. Thanks for giving me the link to include in my upcoming Band Fruit Fundraiser Recipe Round Up! It will be published on 12/4/2013!
I’m interested to see if you stick with the paleo going forward. I’m super impressed with your consistency!! And smoothies are always a great recipe for everyone to be reminded of how tasty they are
