Pineapple Peach Greenie

Good Morning. So I have an hour commute every morning to work, usually I savor my smoothie during the ride and typically have some left over to drink once I get to work. Well, not this morning. This smoothie was so good I drank the whole thing within 15 minutes (and 2 brainfreezes later) I was left wanting more! The sweetness of the peaches and juice, the tangyness of the yogurt, and the citrus from the pineapple make this a winner. And who doesn't love all the added vitamins and minerals from the spinach? Basically this smoothie is a winner.

1 cup pineapple mango Trop 50, 2p+
1 cup )% plain Greek yogurt, 3p+
1 cup frozen peaches, 0p+
1 banana, 0p+
1/2 cup frozen pineapple, 0p+
1 1/2 cups baby spinach, 0p+

Layer ingredients in blender in order shown and blend til smooth.

Yield: 1 | 5p+

Pineapple Mango Banana Smoothie

Hey all! So I am finally back with some great new ideas. Here is one that is so delicious. I will give you warning though, it is quite tart, likely due to the large amount of plain Greek yogurt. My mango was a little under ripe, if you were to use a really ripe mango it might help but if you make this as is, don't be expecting anything sweet. You could always add a packet or 2 of splenda to sweeten things up.


So, nearly all of my previous smoothies had protein powder in them. While you will still see smoothies that contain protein powder I am looking to obtain more protein from the Greek yogurt, instead of from the protein that has tons of other gunk I can't even pronounce in it. The protein powder I use, Deisgner Whey has like 20g of protein for 1 scoop and 2p+, the 1C of Greek yogurt I used in this recipe has 19g of protein and 3p+. I weighed heavily on this decision but decided that since I normally use 2p+ for protein and 1p+ for 1/3C regular yogurt, the 3p+ for Greek was the way to go.


So finally, here's the recipe:


1C minute maid light OJ, 1p+
1C non fat plain greek yogurt, 3p+
1 banana, 0p+
1 mango, chopped, 0p+
6 chunks frozen pineapple, 0p+
2 cups spinach, 0p+


Place ingredients in blender in order shown and blend til smooth. 


Yield: 1 | 4p+

I made this smoothie as a mid day snack, and I will have to say it is quite large for a mid day snack. I probably could have split it with someone. But it is so good, that will most likely not happen. Enjoy!

Pineapple Cherry Smoothie

1 cup light plain soy milk (2)

1/2 2% pineapple Chobani greek yogurt (2)

1 banana, frozen (0)

1/2 cup pineapple, canned in juice (0)

1/3 cup cherries, frozen (0)

1 scoop low cal vanilla protein powder (2)

1/4 cup water (if needed)

Layer ingredients in blender in order shown and blend til smooth. If ingredients are not blending well try adding in the water to see if that will do the trick. I added the water to mine, but some of you may not have to, especially if you are using a non-frozen banana instead.

Yield: 1 | 6p+

**Spoiler alert: I just bought a big bag of nectarines, should take 3 or 4 days to ripen, nectarine smoothies are on the way!!!

Pineapple, Peach, Strawberry, Banana Smoothie

1 cup light plain soy milk (2)

1/3 cup FF vanilla yogurt (1)

1/4 cup peaches, frozen (0)

1/4 cup pineapple, frozen (0)

3 strawberries, frozen (0)

1 scoop low cal vanilla protein powder (2)

Just less than 1/3 cup water (0)

Layer ingredients in blender in order shown and blend til smooth.

Yield: 1 | 5p+

This one is really good. I added the few strawberries for just a little color but you if you wanted to do just banana, peach, pineapple that would be equally delicious. You see I got my awesome new smoothie cup!! It is so cute but it is not insulated so the cup was a little wet by the time I got to work (I have a 1 hour commute to drink my smoothie each morning). Small price to pay for cuteness I guess.



Tropical Smoothie

2 cups soy milk (6)
1 package Yoplait smoothie - mango, pineapple, strawberry flavor (4)
1/2 cup extra pineapple (0)
4 extra strawberries (0)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (4)
1/4 cup water (0)


Layer first 5 ingredients in blender and blend up. My blender needed a little more liquid to work properly so I added 1/4 cup water to get it moving again.


Yield: 2 | 7p+ per smoothie.


Note: the Yoplait smoothe packet is 4p+ which is the amount of points for the entire package. These packages contain not only the fruit but also yogurt chunks that get mixed into the smoothie during blending. I would estimate that if you didn't want to count the points for the fruit in the packet it would be about 2p+ rather than 4 bringing the total p+ per smoothie to 6.

Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie

1 1/2 cups light plain silk soy milk (3)
1/2 cup pineapple chunks, frozen. (0)
5 strawberries, frozen (0)
1 banana (0)
1 scoop low cal vanilla protein powder, I use Deisgner Whey (2)

Layer in blender in order shown and blend it up til smooth.

Yield: 1 |  5p+

Note: I cut up a pineapple and some strawberries over the weekend and froze them in individual baggies in perfect smoothie porportions, but, if you are not as organized (okay obsessive), you can definitely add some canned pineapple and fresh strawberries then throw in like 4 or 5 ice cubes. Will totally come out equally delicious.

Also Note: While I make each of my smoothies 1 serving you can totally split this with someone. I only have a 16oz smoothie bottle so there is usually some excess left over that I leave for my boyfriend to have for breakfast, he gets nearly 12 ozs. So these smoothies are big, I mean they are supposed to be like an entire meal though sooo.... I think I am going to amazon a totally cute new smoothie cup right now to pose in all my pictures. I will post whatever I find.
