Matthew really likes the Nick show “The Fresh Beat Band” and recently he saw a “commercial” for a recipe for Fresh Beat Smoothies. The characters on the show often partake of smoothies at “The Groovy Smoothie”, a smoothie shop on the show. So he has been begging me to make him one. I was a bit reluctant because the child drinks nothing. I have never seen a child that refuses to drink as much as this child does, but I know he likes the show and I want to encourage him anyway I can. So I broke out the Vita-Mix and blended up a smoothie.
Pineapple Banana GFCF Fresh Beat Smoothie
1 ripe banana
1/4 can of pineapple in its own juice
1/4 – 1/2 cup of pineapple juice
1 cup of ice cubes
1/2 – 3/4 cup coconut milk kefir (I like the So Delicious brand – we used Vanilla)
a little vanilla extract if you don’t use Vanilla kefir.
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.
