Smoothie Recipes with Martha Stewart–Pineapple Punch
With fresh pineapple, mango and hemp seeds
Posted October 24th, 2012 by noelle | No Comments
This weekend, my in-laws were in town celebrating our very first Fall Festivus. My baby son ran around the house in a Spiderman costume (see photo taken below by my father-in-law), 
my mother-in-law donned her best set of cat whiskers (they were adorable!), decorative Halloween decor filled the house, and tasty treats moved in and out of the kitchen. One morning we made smoothies for breakfast using leftover ingredients from some Halloween cookies that we made ⎯and this, my friends, is how this Pineapple Punch Smoothie originated! It is loaded with fresh pineapple, creamy mango and a dash of hemp seeds for a protein punch. We served ours in champagne glasses to add to the weekend fun!
