Post-Workout Pineapple & Lime Smoothie

September 6, 2017 By JJ 6 Comments

Ombre Pineapple Smoothie

You know that girl who makes a green smoothie when she gets home from yoga? I’m totally that girl.

(Or I was, back when I wrote this post nearly a year agao, before the shoulder reconstruction, when I was still going to yoga. Upside is that I can nearly raise my arm over my head at this point in time so a return to yoga is looking more promising every day. Also, it’s a good thing I looked at my draft posts or this may have been lost forever in the black hole of unpublished content, ahem. Ok, back to our regularly scheduled, aka previously written, programming…)

I figure that if I can get a big fat dose of vegetables and nutrients in one go I may as well, and besides, I really do like green smoothies.

Ombre Pineapple Smoothie

This version was inspired by a pineapple that was sitting in our kitchen, and something I’d read that day about the bromelain in pineapple assisting in the breakdown and absorption of protein into your muscles.

Since I’d just gotten home from yoga (yep, got that in again) and had a rogue jar of pea protein floating around in the cabinet, a post-workout pineapple & lime smoothie was a logical conclusion.

Ombre Pineapple Smoothie

Also, it tastes fun and tropical and has at least two serves of veggies — and if all else fails, it’s a great smoothie to drink in your activewear. Everybody (and every body, haha) wins.

Post-Workout Pineapple & Lime Smoothie

Fun and tropical, this smoothie is packed with protein absorption-boosting bromelain and a couple serves of green veggies. It's a win-win.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple
  • ¼ cup coconut water or regular water
  • juice from 1 lime
  • ½ avocado
  • 1 thin skinned (Lebanese) cucumber
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 1 Tbsp pea protein powder, optional
METHOD
  1. Add banana, pineapple, coconut water, lime juice and protein powder (if using) into a jug and blend until smooth. Spoon about half the mixture into a glass.

  2. Add avocado and cucumber to the jug and blend again until smooth, spoon half into the glass again. Add spinach leaves, blend a final time, and tip remaining smoothie into glass. Leave as is or poke a chopstick down the side of the glass to create icicles of colour.
  3. Ooooooorrrrr just dump it all in a blender, then in a glass or a bowl, and call it a pineapple green smoothie day!

COOK'S NOTES & SUBSTITUTIONS
  • If you prefer you can add a handful of cashews instead of the protein powder or leave it out altogether. You can also use vanilla pea protein but I go for the plain to avoid added chemicals and sugar substitutes.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
