ProPeas Pina Colada Tropical Smoothie

Published September 26, 2013

It’s Hump-Day and a trip to the Islands would be nice but not possible, instead why not try a delicious Tropical Smoothie with a Pina Colada flare!  This recipe, was contributed by Dr. Kathleen Inman, D.C., www.eastnashvillechiropractic.com.

Dr. Inman loves the flavors, protein and the 16 pound weight loss she’s experienced as she participated in our My Busy Healthy Life 4 Month Health Revolution Program.  Dr. Inman values the great health benefits provided by her AIM juices and using AIM ProPeas as the protein for this yummy smoothie.  Dr. Inman recently taught a Wellness Workshop in Nashville and her students loved this smoothie as well.  Thanks for sharing Dr. Inman!

 

• 1/4 cup Trader Joes organic frozen Pineapple and Mango tidbits
• 1- one inch segment of frozen banana
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin unrefined coconut oil
• 2 scoops AIM ProPeas protein powder
• Cold Unsweetened Almond Milk

Time Saving Tip:

Dr. Inman peels and cuts over-ripe bananas in one inch slices and  stores them in zip loc brand baggies in the freezer.  Zip loc brand baggies are BPA free.  A few minutes of prep and the bananas are ready when she needs them.

Put all in a magic bullet or immersion blender cup.

Add cold unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk) to cover fruit, blend well and enjoy!

To get an extra nutritional boost add a serving of BarleyLife or LeafGreens before blending…your smoothie will be green and powerfully delish!
