Umbrella Drink for You (and your fussy kid!)

It is beyond beautiful here today in NJ!  We are now into Summer for at least a day or two!  Instant happy mood for me!

Anyway I have one really fussy kid as far as getting in "real" food with colors, fiber ... pretty much everything I tell you to eat.  She's also got seasonal allergies right now (who doesn't?) and is milk sensitive.  I just wanted to share a great smoothie with you if you have one of those kids ... and honestly if you threw an umbrella and some rum into it, I'm sure the resorts would be charging $12 for a single serving!

Ok, have to throw this in ... this has a lot of natural sugar in it.  Way more than I would drink on a regular basis ... but for those young athletes it is a good idea ... they need some fiber, natural sugars, a little fat ...  great to drink after practices.  

Pineapple-Mango-Coconut-Banana Smoothie
aka Umbrella Drink

1 ripe banana
1/2 fresh mango (or frozen if you don't have fresh)
1/2 cup pineapple
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk or rice milk
I also added some coconut flakes ... Roasted Coconut chips that are sooo good!

(I never measure when I make these so you can just use what you have!)

Blend.
Enjoy!

Here's to more glorious Sunshine!

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
