I hate summer. Its too hot. I drink too much water so I am going to try to drink other drinks. That is why I love this easy and fresh recipe. Smoothies are a great -- and delicious -- way to get your fill of energy-boosting proteins and healthy fats. Fresh smoothie: For 1 serving 1⁄2 cup yogurt 1⁄2 🍌 5 🍓 2 slices of canned pineapple (Fruit and yogurt should be cold)  Blend the fruit and yogurt and serve cold! You can add a little sugar if you like things sweet. Try some kiwi to decorate. Do you want to try?
