Need protein? Have a pineapple smoothie!

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get more protein into your diet.

This recipe for a pineapple smoothie, provides you with fruit, greens and protein! If you need to eat more greens or want your family to eat more greens, sneak them into this drink and no one will even know they are in there. The blueberries mask the green color and the sweetness from the fruits and juice will hide the flavor.

Pineapple Blueberry Smoothie

1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1 banana
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 scoop of your favorite protein powder

Add juice and spinach to blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
Add berries, protein powder and banana and blend until smooth.

Tip: for a creamier smoothie, use half milk, half pineapple juice!
