Strawberry Pineapple Fruit Smoothie
Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 12:03PM It’s happening again, I am addicted to popsicles. In the last 24 hours I have consumed something like 15 popsicles. First it was the box of Sour Patch Kids popsicles then it was the Fla-vor Ice Pops that I hold very dear to my heart.
I have a problem.
Not only am I severely addicted; my popsicles are not freezing fast enough. Yes, I am eating them faster than they are freezing.
Oh boy.
The addiction is worse than I remember. I mean it is only the middle of April; I should not be this obsessed. I shiver all winter long and wear the heaviest clothes lest I turn blue AND it was in the 30s last night, yet I am downing popsicles like it is 85 degrees outside.
I’m doomed.
I give my box of 100 popsicles a week… MAX!
In order to offset my unhealthy addiction to popsicles, potato chips, macaroni and cheese and random beverages filled with sugar I thought I would make a fruit smoothie. I thought I would share it with you all today.
I happen to love smoothies, though I love slushes much more. Okay, I digress.
Today I have a fabulous Pineapple and Strawberry Smoothie. Prepare yourselves for the best tasting fruit smoothie you have ever had. {Period}

You want the whipped cream, hands down. One of my favorite things to do is slice a hole in the middle of the strawberry and fill it with whipped cream. Seriously, it is my FAVORITE thing to do in the summertime. Sometimes I eat so much fruit during the day that I am stuffed when it is time to eat a real meal.
You should definitely go into your kitchen and make this smoothie!!
Until Next Time,
Happy Smoothie Makin’
