But fun.
A good weekend planned over here, fiends. How about you? Today is a shopping day, followed by an evening of listening to Seamus play drums with a jazz band here in town. Tomorrow is a Cleveland jaunt, followed by smoothies and conversation with BFF Kay and Bob. And speaking of smoothies…I modified a recipe I saw on the web and came up with this little gem:
Luau Smoothie
About a cup of fresh pineapple
One banana
1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (I used the pineapple flavor from Dannon)
Spinach leaves
A couple drops of coconut extract
You can use fresh coconut, too, but I didn’t have any on hand.
Now, truth be told — I haven’t tried this, so I don’t know if you’ll need to add a bit of crushed ice or water for your desired consistency. It’s still sitting there on the counter, just like in the photo. The Thriller isn’t up yet, and I want it to be fresh.
*drumming fingers on desk* EDIT: Best. Smoothie. Ever.
I hope you have some fun planned for this weekend. If you can share, tell! I’m off to make some unintentional noise. I’m hungry.
OOOH. Just finished my own smoothie before I saw yours. Seems like the pineapple would have enough liquid in it to where you wouldn’t have to add any.
I’m on a coconut-pineapple-banana kick lately.
I might try a few mandarin oranges in there too. hmmmm….
Have a WUN-derful weekend!

Nom. Nom.
Mandarins would be great in it! I have a box of “Cuties” in my fridge…I should do that tomorrow morning.
I added probably 1/8 cup water, and I could have easily done without it. The pineapple was fine, yep. Hope you’re enjoying your Saturday!
