THIRSTY THURSDAY

Today I share a couple of recipes that I have pinned on Pinterest.They are both very healthy choices for a cool 4th of July drink!

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIES
1 c. fat-free milk
1 can (8oz) unsweetened Dole crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
1/2 c. unsweetened pineapple juice
3 tbsp. sugar (I'll bet Splenda would work)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. coconut extract
6 ice cubes

DIRECTIONS:
In a blender, place first 6 ingredients; cover and process until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses; serve immediately.
YIELD: 3

FRUIT SMOOTHIES
2 c. 2% milk
1 c. frozen unsweetened sliced peaches
1 c. frozen unsweetened strawberries
1/4 c. orange juice
2 tbsp. honey

DIRECTIONS:
In a blender combine all ingredients. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses; serve immediately.
YIELD: 4 servings 

* If you have enough freezer space I like to keep a couple of frozen mugs in the freezer all summer long for a cold drink any time.
