Hawaiian Berry Smoothie

Submitted by Chef Buggsy Mate

"This is a smoothie that I often throw together for breakfast. It also makes a great "milk shake" for the kids when they want some sort of treat. My kids still have not caught on that they are having something healthy!"

Yum! We actually made two servings for lunch today. It was refreshing, filling and healthy treat. The banana helped to thickened it. Made for Potluck 2010 tag.

We loved this! It's a good thing I had lots of each ingredient, because I let everyone take a little taste of this and they all wanted a glass or two each. It was so fresh tasting, and the frozen strawberries gave it the right consistency. The combo of pineapple/banana/strawberries is delicious. Can't wait to make more!!

Great use of the pineapple chunks! I probably used a bit more strawberries than called for here, & did include a scoop of protein powder, and the final swallow said it all, & I had a GREAT, GREAT BREAKFAST! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #20]
