Pineapple, chia and coconut milk smoothie

2013 March 4

Before our warm weather completely fades away, I wanted to make a tropical smoothie with a bright flavour and thought pineapple might make things interesting.

I loved how creamy and naturally sweet this was!  It reminded me of Malibu and pineapple (but not in a bad way, more of a palm trees swaying, warm breezes, lying on the beach way).

And do you like my little giraffe?  A few years back I received a cocktail set as a gift with a lot of cute little umbrellas and figurines (very 70s, I love it) and thought a couple would be perfect for this smoothie.

      Yum! I’ve been on a pineapple kick lately and this sounds like another delicious variation. The giraffe is totally adorable :)

      Mmmmm, delicious! I’m also trying to get my fave smoothies and cold dishes in before winter comes-a-knockin’. Gorgeous photos.
