Start your day with this TROPICAL SMOOTHIE that is easy and fast to prepare.

In a blender, combine:

• 1 cup vanilla soy milk or almond milk
• ½ cup pineapple chunks
• 1 banana
• 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
• 2 teaspoons Whey protein (vanilla)
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon orange juice concentrate
• Ice cubes

Blend well – this recipe makes 2 servings to enjoy half in the morning and save the other half for your mid-morning meal. Pour it into a thermos and take it with you on the road for a meal in the afternoon instead of going for that cup of java.
