Pineapple Papaya Smoothie



Found a little love on the sidewalk the other day...it stopped me in my tracks! Sometimes it's the simple things that can bring us peace and joy.  Another new love is this refreshing papaya smoothie. 


Ever since I finished reading 'The Blood Sugar Solution' by Dr. Mark Hyman I've been trying to add more anti-inflammatory foods into my diet.  Papaya is on that list. 


I cut it into chunks and froze it for future smoothies.  Then I've been trying all different versions and seeing what tastes the best and has the most nutritional value.  I've also heard that Trader Joe's sells frozen papaya chunks that are peeled and cubed for ready to go smoothies.  I'll have to check it out. 


Always hiding some greens (spinach) in there to get more in everyday. 


Then I went tropical...pineapple.


Light green and sweet. 

Recipe still needs some tweaking, but will be posted soon.  I've been super busy with lots of workouts. 


And getting ready for the Healthy Living Summit in Boston!  I can't wait to see all my blogger friends from last year and meet some more wonderful new friends.  I'll blog from there with lots to share.  Erin from thegrassskirtblog.com you will be missed!!! Now I'm off to pack....

Have a wonderful day everyone!
