Be Simple

Be Simple

You wanted a smoothie that tasted good and was healthy, while using 5 ingredients or less. Behold! The creation that is... Be Simple!

Throw in some frozen pineapple instead of fresh (money saver!), and cut back a little on the ice to get the same consistency. For each cup of ice you cut out, add 8 fl oz of water in its place.
