For the past 3 months, I've been taking some Jazzercise classes. If you lived in the 90's, I am sure you think you know what I am talking about. I can assure you this is nothing like the Jazzercise of my teenage years. This Jazzercise is a serious workout. It's like Zumba and Bootcamp classes merged together and had a really happy, calories burning baby. I've burned up to 600 calories in an hour, and been so sore the next day I hoped I wouldn't need to use my arms for anything more than brushing my teeth. I get super thirsty during and after theses classes, and you can only drink so much water before you feel like you are going to float away.
I thought about drinking some coconut water to help with the hydration, but I am not really a fan of it. However, I do like the hint of coconut flavor it gives to smoothies. Pairing it with some pineapple and banana, seemed like a genius idea and so this smoothie was born! I used Vanilla Shakeology, but I think the Vegan Tropical Strawberry or Regular Strawberry would probably work as well. My favorite cocktail is a mix of Strawberry daiquiri and Pina Colada, and since this smoothie tastes like a Pina Colada, I am pretty confident in my strawberry suggestion. In fact, next time I may add some strawberries!
Ingredients
1 packet Vanilla Shakeology
1/3 cup frozen banana (about half a small banana)
2/3 cup frozen pineapple
1 cup coconut water
Directions
Combine the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
For a sweeter smoothie, increase the amount of banana. I found that 1/2 a frozen banana was a lot sweeter than I thought it would be. I will probably use less banana, and more pineapple next time for a stronger pineapple flavor.
