Have you ever had one of those weekends where you just had too much?  Too much food?  Too much drink?  Too much fun?  That was the weekend I had last weekend.  When my friend in Florida came home to spend Father’s Day with her pop, we decided to take the opportunity to get the girls together and have some fun.  From Friday afternoon until the wee hours of Sunday, we partied.  And hard.  I decided it was probably necessary to get something healthy in my body and pronto!  

The Pineapple-Mango Yogurt Smoothie I made was both tasty and filling.  Frozen pineapple and mango chunks are blended with non-fat vanilla yogurt, non-fat milk, and a little sugar.  As I spent Sunday resting and relaxing, I sipped on this and felt refreshed.  I liked it so much, I made another one for breakfast on Monday.  What is it about smoothies that somehow just make you feel better?       

Pineapple-Mango Yogurt Smoothie (makes 1 smoothie)

• 6-ounces non-fat vanilla yogurt
• 2 tablespoons sugar or Splenda

Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth.  Add more milk if necessary to reach desired consistency.  If you prefer to use fresh fruit, simply add 1 cup of crushed ice.
