Frozen Fruit Smoothie

 Sipping one of these Tropical Smoothies takes me back to my more carefree days about ten years ago.  I was in my mid twenties on vacation in the Caribbean and those ‘smoothies’ were more alcohol than fruit!

Nowadays I make these healthy smoothies for my daughter and I to enjoy as a nutritious treat.  These are definitely kid approved, she slurps an entire smoothie without stopping to take a breath!

This Tropical Smoothie that can be made with many different Greek yogurt flavors such as: Plain, Vanilla, Pineapple or Mango.

    This looks so good, Nicole! I too love Chobani yogurt and will be receiving a box from them soon. Since I am on a dairy free thing due to lactose intolerance, I will be taking a lactaid pill when I make my recipes! This looks so good. Pinning and sharing on social media! Hope you are having a good weekend!

      Thanks Julie, I appreciate the compliment and the sharing! My daughter has a reaction to lactose as well but seems to tolerate yogurt really well. I read that some folks with lactose intolerance issues are okay with yogurt and others aren’t. So I hope you are in the group that does okay with yogurt because Chobani sends a huge box full of it! Have a great week 🙂

        I seem to be ok with yogurt however, I haven’t eaten any dairy in the past week. I think about the time I receive the Chobani, I will start introducing a few things back into my diet to see if I can tolerate them and how much I can tolerate. Although, it has been kind of nice not eating any dairy. I have gotten a little creative with how I eat things now. And I have become somewhat of an avocado freak. I love avocados anyways but now I am putting them on sandwiches and on enchiladas all the time to use in place of cheese!
