Raspberry Pineapple Smoothie - Fresh, fruity and oh so delicious. Packed with tons of vitamin C and antioxidants, plus it's vegan.
So we will get to the smoothie in a minute, but first a little "not very exciting" life update. I've been grappling with what I should do with my life (as I so often seem to do), because some things that I had planned for 2016 have fallen through and has left my life a little empty and directionless. So I have really struggled to get direction back and with that comes a lot of self doubt and a whole lot of "blah" emotions (yes, that is my official explanation for my feelings). But instead of wallowing in my misery, which I can very easily do, I have decided to explore all the little things that I love so much. I'm giving myself a little time to just do everything and anything. One of those things being pottery, I know a little strange right? But I love beautiful ceramics SO much and the idea of being able to make my own little jugs and bowls is just oh so appealing. So I have recently joined a pottery class and have made a bowl...and also broken a bowl, and I absoloutely LOVE it. It is somehow a therapeutic, to just set there and focus on the piece of clay in your hands and turn it into something beautiful. It is really awesome, and I hope I will be able to show you guys some of it one day, right now it probably isn't fit for human viewing ;).
Okay, let's get down to business. This Raspberry Pineapple Smoothie is the bomb. It is fresh, it is fruity and it is YUMMY! It is pretty much the most perfect combo for a smoothie. Because who doesn't love raspberries and pineapple right? Combine them and you have the best darn smoothie you will ever taste. What I love about this Raspberry Pineapple Smoothie is that there isn't much else in it other than the fruit itself. The only other ingredients is a little almond milk, some honey and a frozen banana. That's what makes it so awesome, it doesn't require a million ingredients and it is also super duper healthy. You can also try my Mango Berry Smoothie, for more deliciousness.
