An easy breakfast smoothie, or anytime smoothie that uses mango, coconut, and pineapple!
I pretty much drink a smoothie every morning. I usually like to throw in chia seed and spinach, so when I don’t it is like a real treat. Not that chia seed and spinach make the smoothies gross, they don’t! But there is something about not putting the “healthy” stuff in that makes it feel like I am spoiling myself.
This is my favorite way to spoil myself

Even though I must be one of five people on the planet who don’t like smoothies, I can appreciate how lovely and healthy they can be. Great photo too.
