Wishing I was somewhere tropical...

... this smoothie almost takes you there. :-)

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup coconut water
1 heaping cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
1 heaping cup frozen mango chunks
1 banana, fresh or frozen
flax seeds, flax oil, or chia seeds, optional

Combine all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. I'm sure this would also be good with some greens added.

Limeade

This recipe is one of many delicious concoctions from the cookbook, The 30 Minute Vegan, which I recently acquired.

Limeade

1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice
2-1/2 cups water or coconut water (I used half and half)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons agave nectar

Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir, or process in a blender for a few seconds. Serve in chilled glasses.
