We have been on a major smoothie kick over here – my girls have been asking for one every day lately.

Our current favorite is this pineapple coconut smoothie. The tropical flavors almost make me feel like I’m on a beach instead of at home in the never ending rain.

This is the first “Dinner at the Zoo” recipe I’ve made and I would definitely make it again. I added a scoop of protein powder to it and it turned out so thick that I ate it like soft serve ice cream. It was delicious! I definitely won’t hesitate to try another Dinner at the Zoo recipe again. Thank you, Sara!
