Pineapple Pomegranate Smoothie

Pomegranate juice's tartness makes me overlook its health benefits and skip it in favor of sweeter options. Scoring some for free led me to give it another try.

You'll need approximately:

• .5 cup Pom pomegranate juice
• 8 oz can pineapple chunks, juice included
• 1 tbs fresh mint, chopped
• 1 oz Torani raspberry syrup

Freeze the pineapple chunks and juice prior to blending all ingredients. Pulse on high for about 45 seconds then liquify for about 15. Scrape blender bowl if needed then repeat blending until desired consistency is reached.

Starbucks Espresso Coupon

Check your inbox if you're a My Starbucks Rewards member. They just issued a $1 off coupon for any espresso beverage. It seems they're sending coupons every month now.

Orange Ginger Coconut Smoothie

The weather outside has been frightful. Wind whipping, temperature dipping. I needed a bit of sunshine in a glass. I don't care for ice in my smoothies, so I used cold ingredients. Makes 16 ounces without ice cubes.

You'll need approximately:

• half of a medium orange, cut up
• .5 tsp orange zest
• .25 tsp ground ginger
• dash nutmeg
• .5 cup Fage Total 0% greek yogurt
• 1 cup So Delicious coconut milk
• .25 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tbs sweetened, shredded coconut

Put yogurt in blender then add spices. Add zest and shredded coconut. Add coconut milk then  orange pieces. Pour pineapple juice over contents. Blend on high for about 45 seconds then liquify for about 15. Scrape blender bowl if needed then repeat blending until desired consistency reached.
